Principles of Program Design

In fitness, what do acute training variables determine?

• How an exercise or training program is performed.

• When an exercise or training program is performed.

• Why an exercise or training program is performed.

• Where an exercise or training program is performed.

What condition is the result of the accumulation of stress from both training and non-training activities resulting in short-term decreases in performance?

• Overreaching

• Overtraining

• Over-exhaustion

• Overtraining syndrome (OTS)

Resistance training is included in which category of training?

• Speed, agility, and quickness (SAQ)

• Foundational training

• Strength training

• Metabolic training

What is the final stage of the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)?

• stimulus

• resistance

• alarm

• exhaustion

Which principle of fitness states that acute training variables must be changed periodically to prevent plateaus, injuries, and boredom?

• Principle of specificity

• Principle of individual differences

• Principle of progressive overload

• Principle of variability

What does the "F" in the FITT Principle stand for?

• frequency

• foundation

• flexibility

• fascial

For the training adaptation of muscle hypertrophy, what is the recommended number of repetitions per set?

• 1 to 6 repetitions

• 6 to 12 repetitions

• More than 15 repetitions

• 1 to 5 repetitions

A training intensity of 67 percent or less is most closely related to which training adaptation?

• Maximum strength

• Hypertrophy

• Muscular endurance

• Power

The load used for a resistance training exercise is most closely related to which acute training variable?

• intensity

• tempo

• range of motion

• type

Which acute training variable is the equipment, methods, or technique used to complete an activity?

• tempo

• frequency

• type

• time
