Total questions: 12
Worksheet time: 4mins
What are the three basic principles of training for sport?
Specificity, Adaptation, Overtraining
Specificity, Size of adaptation stimulus, Progression
Progression, Tapering, Detraining
Intensity, Duration, Recovery
According to the principle of specificity, training should focus on:
General fitness
Psychological preparation
The specific muscle groups, energy systems, and movements of the sport
Randomized exercises for variety
What happens when the stimulus is subliminal (too weak)?
Optimal adaptation
Detraining
No desirable improvement
Overreaching
Which of the following best describes overreaching?
Training with minimal effort
Short-term intentional overstress followed by improved performance
Chronic fatigue due to overtraining
Reduced training intensity
Training volume is calculated as:
Weight ÷ sets ÷ reps
Sets × reps × weight
Reps ÷ weight
Heart rate × distance
If training volume increases, intensity should generally:
Stay the same
Increase
Decrease
Become random
Which of the following correctly lists the order of periodization units?
Microcycle → Mesocycle → Macrocycle
Workout → Microcycle → Mesocycle → Macrocycle
Mesocycle → Macrocycle → Microcycle
Macrocycle → Workout → Microcycle
Overtraining syndrome can cause which of the following?
Improved coordination
Enhanced sleep
Decreased strength, appetite, and motivation
Increased hormonal balance
Tapering before competition primarily helps by:
Increasing fatigue
Allowing tissue repair and glycogen replenishment
Decreasing muscle strength
Lowering motivation
Detraining effects on muscular endurance can appear after:
1 day
2 weeks
2 months
6 months
With detraining, VO₂max typically:
Increases due to rest
Decreases significantly
Remains unchanged
Doubles with microgravity
Which of these is a health consequence of detraining in space?
Enhanced postural muscle strength
Increased bone density
Loss of muscle mass and bone strength
Improved VO₂max
