ExPhys Ch 10: Principles of Exercise Training

How is muscular power typically measured?

• With a stopwatch

• With a ruler

• With electronic devices

• With a scale

How is muscular endurance measured?

• By the number of repetitions at a given percentage of 1RM

• By the maximum weight lifted once

• By the speed of running

• By the size of the muscle

What is a benefit of increased muscular endurance?

• Improved cardiovascular function

• Increased muscle size

• Decreased flexibility

• Increased body fat

How many repetitions does Athlete B perform with 150 kg for muscular endurance?

• 5 repetitions

• 10 repetitions

• 15 repetitions

• 20 repetitions

What is the primary limitation of aerobic power?

• Respiratory system

• Digestive system

• Cardiovascular system

• Nervous system

According to the Principle of Specificity, what should a training program focus on?

• The most relevant physiological systems for a given sport

• A variety of sports simultaneously

• General physical fitness

• Random exercises

Training adaptations are highly specific to which of the following?

• Type of activity, training volume, and intensity

• General fitness levels

• Randomized exercises

• Universal training methods

What is the principle of reversibility in training?

• Gains are permanent regardless of training.

• Use it or lose it.

• Training has no effect on strength.

• Detraining improves gains.

Which of the following is NOT a part of the principle of reversibility?

• Use it or lose it.

• Training improves strength.

• Detraining reverses gains.

• Gains are permanent.

What happens if the demands on the body are not systematically increased?

• Further improvements are made

• Fitness levels remain the same

• Muscles grow rapidly

• Strength decreases
