Training Principles and Adaptations

Which of the following is NOT listed as a principle of training?

• Progressive overload

• Specificity

• Recovery

• Variety

What is the primary purpose of progressive overload in training?

• To decrease the intensity of training

• To allow the athlete to train at lower workloads

• To maintain the same intensity of training after adaptation

• To prevent any physiological adaptations

Which of the following methods can be used to achieve progressive overload in training?

• Decreasing the frequency of training sessions

• Reducing the length of training sessions

• Maintaining the same weight for resistance training

• Increasing the weight to be lifted in resistance training

A marathon runner primarily focuses on aerobic training, while a rugby player benefits from resistance training. This aligns with which principle of training?

• Progressive Overload

• Reversibility

• Specificity

• Variety

To maximize training adaptations, movements used in a sport should be replicated during training. This concept is part of which training principle?

• Reversibility

• Specificity

• Variety

• Training Thresholds

What happens to training adaptations when an athlete stops training, according to the principle of reversibility?

• They are maintained indefinitely

• They are lost at a slower rate than they were gained

• They are lost, leading to a decrease in performance

• They are replaced by new adaptations

How can an athlete prevent the effects of reversibility for resistance training?

• By stopping all training for at least two weeks

• By maintaining one resistance training session per week at the same intensity

• By increasing the intensity of training sessions every day

• By switching to only aerobic training

Why is incorporating variety into training sessions important?

• To focus solely on one type of training

• To prevent boredom and ensure complete fitness development

• To decrease the overall training workload

• To limit the number of muscles trained

What is the approximate aerobic training threshold in terms of maximum heart rate (MHR)?

• 50% MHR

• 60% MHR

• 70% MHR

• 80% MHR

Which of the following is a primary benefit of performing a warm-up before physical activity?

• Decreasing the heart rate

• Reducing blood flow to muscles

• Increasing the risk of injury

• Speeding up chemical reactions that produce ATP
