Typically, an 8- to 14-day _____is constructed at the end of the precompetitive subphase to stimulate a supercompensation of both preparedness and performance.

taper

Though _______is a key component of a periodized training program, it

variation

The density or number of training sessions contained within each day is largely dependent upon: a.) the athlete's level of development. b.) the time allotted for training. c.) the goals established by the training plan. d.) the athlete's level of development, the time allotted for training, and the goals established by the training plan.

D

What are the general goals of using a periodized training plan?

Prevent overtraining and risk of injury

Which mesocycle structure is designed to develop an overall fitness base with the use of substantial workloads that target basic athletic abilities such as muscular strength, anaerobic endurance, or aerobic endurance? accumulation transmutation realization transition

accumulation

A track athlete who competes in both an indoor and outdoor season would use what type of annual training plan structure? monocycle bicycle tricycle quadrennial training plan

bicycle

What phase of training is used to elevate or maintain the physiological and sport-specific skills developed in the previous phase of training while concurrently increasing the athlete's level of preparedness and performance at key time points established in the annual training plan? Competitive transition preparatory realization

competitive

What is the first step in the process of making a periodized training plan? a.) determine the multiyear training objectives b.) Establish the annual training plan. c.) Break each macrocycle into phases. d.) Break the annual training plan into macrocycles.

determine the multiyear training objectives

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the realization phase? a.) Reduced training loads b.) Elevates general fitness c.) elevates performance levels d.) induces recovery

elevate general fitness

True or False? As a whole, the general loading paradigm across the macrocycle moves from higher intensity during the preparatory phase toward higher volume training during the competitive phase.

false

Which subphase has a primary focus of establishing a general physical training base by utilizing a large variety of training means that target the development of general fitness and motor abilities or skills that are undertaken for relatively higher volumes and lower intensities? general preparatory precompetitive main competitive specific preparatory

general preparatory

Which subphase is used to translate basic fitness characteristics into more sport-specific fitness, motor abilities, and technical abilities by using periods of higher-volume training coupled with periods of high-intensity training? general preparatory specific preparatory precompetitive main competitive

general preparatory

The annual training plan is often used interchangeably with the term: macrocycle mesocycle microcycle quadrennial training plan

macrocycle

Which subphase is designed with the express purpose of elevating the athlete's overall levels of preparedness and optimizing competitive performance and culminates with the primary competition or tournament contained in the macrocycle? precompetitive specific preparatory general preparatory main competitive

main competitive

What is the final step in the process of making a periodized training plan? a.) Establish the mesocycle structures b.) Design the individual training day c.) Determine the microcycle structures d.) plan the training session

plan the training session

Preseason games would occur during which phase of the annual training plan? general preparatory specific preparatory precompetitive main competitve

precompetitive

Generally, ________are structured for the preparation of Olympic athletes but also are used for the development of both high school and collegiate athletes.

quadrennial training plan

Which microcycle structure contains sudden increases in training load applied in conjunction with high training volumes and has the potential to induce specific physiological and performance gains? ordinary shock precompetitive competitive

shock

An individual _______can contain one or more interconnected training session(s) constructed to meet the goals and demands established by the microcycle

training day

The smallest training unit is the individual _________.

training day

Which phase of training typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks and is designed to refresh the athlete physically and mentally while performing a significantly reduced training load that targets the maintenance of fitness and minimizes the emphasis on sport specific skills? transition prepatory competitive realization

transition

Which mesocycle is 2 to 4 weeks in duration and is designed to translate the adaptations and skills developed in the preceding block into sport-specific characteristics that allow for the elevation of preparedness? accumulation realization transition transmutation

transmutation

True or False? In a periodized training program, only the volume and intensity should be varied.

true

True or False? It is generally accepted that training days that contain multiple smaller training sessions result in a greater training effect and allow for a greater level of training variation.

true

True or False? Once strength is increased, the potential to develop power and speed characteristics is enhanced.

true

True or False? The smallest and most basic training structure is the mesocycle.
