NSCA CPSS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS EXAM REVIEW A+ 2024

NSCA CPSS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS EXAM REVIEW A+ 2024 Understand the relevant theory and principles that underpin training. - ANS-Training Load model, Periodization, Parallel training model, Sequential Training Model, Periodization vs Programming - ANS-Periodization is a a macro-management strategy that serves as a training blueprint, from which periods of time are assigned that target specific skills, fitness, or performance related factors. Volume and intensity are inversely related. 1-3 peaks/macrocycles per year Programming is an operation of strategic thinking which is best accomplished when ongoing monitoring is integrated into the periodization process. How is biological adaptation achieved? - ANS-by disturbing the current capacity of the system What is supercompensation? - ANS-Supercompensation is the effect whereby performance is enhanced if the body is able/allowed to adapt. What syndrome is supercompensation related to? - ANS-General adaptation syndrome What is general adaptation syndrome? - ANS-The framework of interaction between the imposed training stress, acute fatigue response, adaptation, and a new level of homeostasis/performance. How does overtraining syndrome develop? - ANS-After continued high volume, high intensity training or both when an athlete is over-reached. Which training model is when performance of a positive fitness effect and a negative fatigue effect decay exponentially over time but at different rates? - ANS-Fitness-fatigue model What is the dose-response relationship? - A
