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

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

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

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
