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

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:

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
