EXSS 350 Quiz

What are acute responses?

• How the body responds during or immediately after one bout of exercise

•  How the body responds over time to the stress of repeated exercise bouts

What are chronic responses?

• How the body responds during or immediately after one bout of exercise

•  How the body responds over time to the stress of repeated exercise bouts

Define Alarm Reaction:

• Initial response, mobilization of physiological systems/biochemical processes (acute responses)

• increased capacity in response to the stimulus (chronic exercise)

Defin Resistance:

• Initial response, mobilization of physiological systems/biochemical processes (acute responses)

• increased capacity in response to the stimulus (chronic exercise)

True or False: Stimuli --> Response --> Adaptation

• True

• False

Stress applied to specific system or muscle group; adaptation only occurs in those muscles recruited by the activity

• Specificity

• Overload

• Reversibility

• Initial Values

Must be a progressive increase in the intensity of the stimulus for continued increase in capacity

• Specificity

• Overload

• Reversibility

• Initial Values

Positive adaptations will be lost if the exercise stimulus is discontinued

Detraining

• Specificity

• Overload

• Reversibility

• Initial Values

an individual with the lowest capacity will have the greatest % (relative) improvement

• Specificity

• Overload

• Reversibility

• Initial Values

What is the Principles of Diminishing Returns?

• a biological ceiling exists to improvement; must work harder for smaller gains as one approaches the ceiling

• designing a year long cycle of training to get someone to recover and then start training again
