Basics of Training and conditioning

An approach to conditioning that attempts to bring about peak performance while reducing injuries and overtraining is defined as:

• Cross training

• Periodization

• Constancy

• Specificity

Which of the following describes the time when conditioning is dedicated to unstructured recreational activities and physical restoration?

• In-season

• Preseason

• Off-season

• Postseason

A soccer player running ten 120 yd sprints in under 20 seconds each with a 1 minute walking recovery period between each sprint is an example of:

• Continuous training

• Fartlek training

• Interval training

• Conditioning

Increasing the strenuousness of exercise to a consistently higher level through maximum or near-maximum stimulation is an application of what principle?

• Overtraining

• Conditioning

• Overload

• DAPRE

Hopping, bounding and depth jumps are forms of:

• Isokinetic exercises

• Plyometric exercises

• Isotonic exercises

• Circuit training

Which strength training method changes the length of the muscle while the contraction is performed at a constant velocity?

• Isometric

• Isotonic

• Isokinetic

• Isodynamic

The stretching method that uses an extreme stretch that is held for an extended period of time is which of the following?

• Static stretch

• Active stretch

• Dynamic stretch

• PNF stretch

All the following are examples of closed kinetic chain exercises except:

• Mini-squats

• Seated knee extensions

• Lateral step ups

• Push ups

A dynamic warm-up prior to the start of practice or competition can last how long?

• No more than 10 minutes

• Between 5 and 20 minutes

• No less than 15 minutes

• Between 20 to 30 minutes

It is believed that a proper dynamic warm-up will do all the following except:

• Enhance coordination and motor ability

• Stimulates the nervous system

• Increase muscle soreness

• Forces focus and concentration
