NSCA-CSCS Chapter 5 Questions and Answers Already Passed

NSCA-CSCS Chapter 5 Questions and Answers Already Passed A 14 year female volleyball athlete has recently started a resistance training program and has seen significant gains in just three weeks. What is responsible for these initial gains? Neural Adaptations A 17 year old american football player just participated in a weight training session combined with a plyometric workout. What kind of training is this? Anaerobic Training A 50-year old female triathlete is concerned about osteoporosis. What exercise is MOST beneficial for improving her bone mineral density? Front Squat A weightlifter adds 30 minutes of intense (>75% VO2 max) stationary bicycle riding every other day to her resistance training program. What describes the GREATEST effect this addition will have on her performance? Power gains will be compromised aerobic capacity improvements would be comprised If a 26-year-old marathon runner incorporates a 3-day per week resistance training session into his workout, what would be the effects on his performance? An increase in EMG indicates what? Greater Neural Activation Anaerobic Training Consists of high-intensity, intermittent bouts of exercise such as weight training; plyometrics drills; and speed, agility, and interval training. Bilateral Deficit This means that the force produced when both limbs are contracting together is less than the sum of the forces they produce when contracting unilaterally. Bone Matrix The intercellular substance of bone tissue consisting of collagen fibers, ground substance, and inorganic bone salts. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) The quantity of mineral deposited in a given area of bone. Collagen The primary structural component of all connective tissue. Cortical Bone Compact Bone. This type of bone is dense and forms a compact outer shell that is bridged by trabecular bone. Cross-education Training only one limb can result in an increase in strength in the untrained limb. Cross-linking The linking of the chains of a polymer to one another so that the polymer, as a network, becomes stronger and more resistant to being dissolved. Detraining This is the cessation of anaerobic training or a substantial reduction in frequency, volume, intensity, or any combination of those three variables that results in decrements in performance and loss of some physiological adaptations associated with resistance training. During resistance exercise all of the following increase heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure Elastin Elastic fibers contained in ligaments.
