Quiz on Resisted Exercises

What is muscle strength?

• The maximum voluntary force a muscle can exert during a contraction

• The rate at which muscles work

• The ability to generate tension to do work

What is power in terms of muscle performance?

• The rate at which muscles work

• The ability to lift a maximal load one time

• The maximum voluntary force a muscle can exert during a contraction

• The ability to perform low-intensity, repetitive activities over time

What is the key parameter of endurance training?

• Low-intensity muscle contractions

• High-intensity muscle contractions

• Decreased oxygen delivery

• Short duration of exercise

What is the Overload Principle in resistance exercise?

• Applying a load equal to the muscle's capacity

• Applying a load only during eccentric exercises

• Applying a load greater than the muscle's metabolic capacity

• Applying a load less than the muscle's capacity

What is the primary adaptation to heavy resistance exercise?

• Increase in muscle strength

• Increase in muscle endurance

• Increase in muscle power

• Increase in muscle flexibility

What is the SAID principle in exercise programs?

• Random adaptation to imposed demands

• Specific adaptation to imposed demands

• General adaptation to imposed demands

• No adaptation to imposed demands

What is the primary factor influencing tension generation in skeletal muscle?

• Recovery from exercise

• Energy stores and blood supply

• Age

• Psychological factors

What is muscle fatigue characterized by?

• Enhanced muscle power

• Improved muscle endurance

• Increased muscle strength

• Diminished response of muscle to a repeated stimulus

What is the primary factor influencing fatigue?

• Severe Cardiopulmonary Disease

• Inflammation

• Environmental factors

• A patient's health status, diet, or lifestyle

What is isometric exercise?

• A form of exercise with isokinetic resistance

• A form of exercise with variable resistance

• A dynamic form of exercise with constant joint motion

• A static form of exercise without visible joint motion
