During a competitive season (in-season), strength training should be done

A little less than during the off-season

A description of gross body equilibrium is

In general, smaller muscle groups should be trained

After larger muscle groups

Learner centered learning environments include

Athletes must mentally prepare for competition by

Funneling in their focus during preparation

When determining whether to perform 1 RM testing, which of the following is not taken into consideration?

Gender of the lifter

"Double-progression" means

Gradually increasing the number of reps and weight

The type of workout which is most beneficial for a cross country runner is

High volume (multiple sets of 12-20 reps) at low intensity and short rest

A repetition range determines

How many reps are performed in a set

Factors that influence sport skill acquisition include

Intellectual, Personal-Social, & Maturation

One of the strategies to use in focusing on one thing at a time is

Leave distractions at the door

Principles of effective preparation include

Listing the steps to take to prepare for practices and competitions

The following are characteristics of effective skill instruction, except

Long massed practice sessions

Late-maturing teens are known to have

In order to manage your time effectively

Make a list of priorities

With respect to teaching and coaching

Many of the things that are done in teaching and coaching are alike

Energy management includes all of the following except

Material energy management

The Cognitive Learning Domain generally deals with

Mental-thinking skills

If an athlete's goal is to increase strength and elicit positive tissue changes, which of the following general workout patterns would best suit their goal?

Moderate volume (sets of 8-12 reps) at moderate intensity and short rest

Physical, mental and emotional readiness without distraction leads to

Optimal readiness

The Affective Learning Domain reflects

Personal-social or attitudinal skills

A mental reset to get your athletes back to focusing on the challenge at hand is

Refocusing

During the purposeful practice phase, the coach

Should observe the practice activities of the athletes and attempt to provide each of them with correct feedback

Weight-room facilities should include

Signage that shows what to do in case of emergency

Learning activities that assist the learner to advance from their current skill level to higher levels of performance are

Skill progressions

The closer practice conditions are to competition conditions, the more likely the athlete will be able to successfully perform practice activities during future competition. This is a principle of motor skills learning called

Specificity of training

The exercise that predominately trains the quads and gluteus is the

Squat

When performing a Romanian dead-lift

The bar should be kept close to the body for each repetition

When considering the sequential nature of the motor skill learning process, as described by Martens (1990), the order of events generally proceeds as follows

The mental phase>the practice phase>the automatic phase

Intensity refers to

The percentage of weight lifted and determined by a person's maximum

Typically drills that are instructionally effective, incorporate the following components

They are given a meaningful name to aid athletes in remembering them in the future, They save practice time and facilitate the athletes' understanding because they are easily understood, & They are useful in achieving previously identified objectives and uniquely fit into the practice plan to serve this role

It is important for athletes to go through an orientation period before strength training

To learn about safety, standards of behavior and proper technique

Inspection of strength training equipment should take place on a

Weekly basis

Aspects to consider when creating a strength program include

What equipment and time are available for strength training, What coaches of other sports at your school are planning, & Experience of your athletes

Strength training programs should be designed to
