taper

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

validity

What are the general goals of using a periodized training plan

- Increase athlete's level of performance at specific and certain points - Maximize performance through thought-out, structured training interventions - Reduce athlete's overtraining potential - Develop the athlete as a whole over the long term

What % of all court cases concerning athletic injuries deals with some aspect of supervision

80%

periodization is

A logical method of varying volume of intensity over time

Contact that overloads a particular structure, overload that occurs without contact, gradual overuse tissue (all of the above)

negligence is defined as

Failure to act as a reasonable person would under similar circumstances

frequency

The amount of sessions an athlete completes per week

Which meso-cycle 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

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 regularly in vball, soccer, & bball

ankle sprain

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

athlete's gender

in the testing of athletes who will be compared to each other, motivation should ___________

be consistent

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

bicycle

Which sub-phase 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 macro-cycle?

competitive

which of the following is NOT one of the elements that must exist for a practitioner to be found liable for negligence

effect

which of the following is NOT a characteristic of realization phase

elevates general fitness

T/F: A qualitative score derived from testing is termed a measurement

false

T/F: General preparation is a training phase usually associated with meso & micro cycles

false

T/F: Specificity deals with the degree of metabolic and mechanical differences between exercises

false

T/F: the smallest and most basic training structure is the mesocycle

false

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

load

A macrocycle generally progresses as

low/moderate volume to high volume to low volume

general preparation is a training phase usually associated with

macro and meso cycles

what is the largest cycle of periodization

macrocycle

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

maladaptation phase

Product liability means _______ is responsible if someone sustains damage/injury mostly due to defects in design/production

manufacturer/vendor

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

mean

the key to inducing skeletal muscle hypertrophy is

mechanical stress, metabolic stress, tissue damage (all of the above)

heavy and light day training refer to aspects of the

microcyle

Which of the following types of resistance training would most likely have the greatest impact on body composition?

one month of high-volume training (multiple sets of 10 repetitions)

TS that exceeds HTA & when used in appropriate doses induces short term fatigue, but eventually enhances performance is

overload

what is the final step in the process of making a periodized training plan

plan the training session

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

post activation potentiation

decreasing the difficulty level of an exercise based on individual needs is known as

regression

multiple scorers timing a 100 m dash should give the same runner the same score. the relationship between these scores is a measure of __________

reliability

The period of time that energy is being conserved in order to allow for ATP to be readily available for the next set and for the clearing of other metabolic substrates that can hinder performance is known as the:

rest interval

specificity deals with

the degree of metabolic and mechanical similarity between exercises

relative intensity is

the load lifted in relation to maximum capabilities

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 phase

T/F: Supercompensation is a term used to indicate an increase in a specific physical, physiological, or performance characteristic as a result of an overreaching or a concentrated loading phase.

true

T/F: bad test data are worse than no test data because they can lead to inappropriate choices in terms of exercise prescriptions

true

T/F: risk of injury can be effectively managed but not totally eliminated by the strength & conditioning practitioner

true
