AEA Chapter 3 - Exercise Physiology Exam 2023 Solved 100% Correct
8 Physiological Principles - ANSWER-- Overload - Adaptation - Specificity - Variability (cross-training) - Reversibility - Recovery Overload - ANSWER-Greater than normal stress/demand placed on physiological system/organ typically resulting in increase in strength/function Progressive Overload - ANSWER-Gradual, systematic increase in stress/demand placed on physiological system/organ to promote fitness gains while avoiding risk of chronic fatigue/injury Adaptation - ANSWER-Ability of a body part/system/organ to adjust to additional stress/overload over time by increasing in strength/function Specificity - ANSWER-Train only the part of the system of body that is overloaded in the way that it is overloaded Must specifically train muscle/muscle group/system within parameters that you want them to perform Variability (Cross-Training) - ANSWER-Varying of intensity, duration, mode of exercise sessions to obtain better overall fitness Reversibility - ANSWER-Body will gradually revert to pre-training status ('detraining') when exercise is discontinued Recovery - ANSWER-Body's return to homeostasis 1. Between exercise bouts (short-term) 2. Between exercise sessions (training) Overtraining - ANSWER-Long-term reductions in performance and overall ability to exercise due to imbalance in amount of exercise and amount of recovery Symptoms of Overtraining - ANSWER-- Reduced performance/coordination - Elevated resting heart rate & blood pressure - Loss of appetite - Soreness - Increased illness/infection - Sleep issues
