Strength And Conditioning Exam 2

A track athlete who competes in an indoor and outdoor season only would use what type of annual training plan structure

Bicycle

Periodization is

a logical method of varying volume of intensity over time

A phase with an unwanted detraining effect due to over stimulating the system without proper recovery of rest periods id referred ti as:

a maladaptation phase

Selecting a testing group from a group of individuals that share a common characteristic is termed a:

subpopulation

What lasts 8-14 days at the end of the pre competitive phase to stimulate a super compensation of performance

taper

What is the range of Z scores

3 to -3

Post activation potentiation is a physiological phenomenon where:

A heavy lift is used to activate the CNS before a fast/explosive movement

Sports injuries are often sustained as a result of

Contact that overloads a particular structure, overload that occurs without contact, and gradual overuse of tissue

A needs analysis should identify the demands of the sport itself, not the specific needs of the individual athlete

False

As _____ increases, the maximal number of repetitions that can be performed decreases

Load

What is the largest cycle of periodization

Macrocycle

Phosphocreatine/phosphogen system works in 10 seconds or less. What kind of training would be best..

Short sprints with long rest intervals

Which of the following is least important to obtain during a needs analysis

Strength/weakness of the athlete

Relative intensity is:

The load lifted in relation to maximum capabilities

What phase occurs when a stressor is introduced to a system and an immediate response occurs where performance is decreased due to acute fatigue

alarm phase

What injury occurs with regularity in volleyball, soccer, and basketball

ankle sprains

Which of the following is least important to obtain during a need analysis

athlete's gender

A macrocycle generally progresses as:

low/moderate volume to high volume to low volume

What type of training method works by manipulating the human strength curve so that the least resistance is provided at the weakest position and the most resistance at the strongest position

dynamic variable resistance

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the realization phase?

elevates general fitness

A qualitative scored derived from testing is termed a measurement

false

General preparation is a training phase usually associated with mesh and Micro-cycles

false

glycolytic

In a group of performance scores for athletes, the _____ is the arithmetic average

mean

Performing a back squat followed by a vertical jump is an example of

post activation potenation

A needs analysis shows that a sport mostly uses the phosphogen energy system. What type of metabolic training will be most effective for this sport based on the needs analysis

short sprints with long rest intervals

Which of the following would NOT be part of a biomechanics analysis

the length of the event

The degree to which a physical test measures what it says it measures is termed

validity
