Advanced weight training Exam 1-Complete
Questions and Answers Verified 100% Correct
Technique is - ✔✔The medium through which strength is expressed
Legs versus hips - ✔✔Both are critical for optimal pulling, knee extension for
elevating the barbell and hip extension for the speed of the barbell
Maximal hip and knee extension - ✔✔Creates maximal elevation and acceleration of
the barbell
Body proportions and effects - ✔✔There is an ideal physique based on anatomical
structure that gives lifters an advantage in Olympic lifting
Body proportions and effects continued - ✔✔Anatomical structure-Lengths Of limbs
and trunk, the width and shape of pelvis, shape of the skeletal components of the
shoulder complex and the precise alignment of various joints
Physical traits - ✔✔Traits that individuals possess by virtue of birth, not due to any
intentional intervention, examples include speed and explosiveness.
Physical traits continued - ✔✔Speed and explosiveness are primarily dictated by the
natural ratio of fast to slow twitch muscle fibers,hormone levels, skeletal structure and
neurological factors such as motor units recruitment.
Example of physical traits - ✔✔People who are naturally strong or flexible but do not
lift or stretch often.
, Physical traits in Olympic lifting - ✔✔The elbow is very important, some lifters can
hyperextend the elbow to fully extend the arm with weight overhead due to their
natural range of motion while other lifters can not fully extend the elbow and will
struggle more keeping weight stable overhead
Training response and recovery - ✔✔No two athletes will respond the same to any
given training stimulus due to innate characteristics each athlete possesses. Factors
include hormones, sleep quality and stress management
Why warm up for training? - ✔✔Reduce chance of injury by preparing joints and
muscles. Optimize performance by improving nerve transmission and communication
between central nervous system and motor units
Idea of warming up - ✔✔Increase body temperature, get blood flow through the
muscles, and get synovial fluid through the joints without taxing it metabolically.
How to warm up - ✔✔Foam rolling, engaging in dynamic and static stretches, rowing,
jump roping, cycling or jogging.
Examples of warming up - ✔✔Foam rolling, arm circles, trunk rotations,leg swings,
wrist stretches,
Squat position - ✔✔Feet placement will dramatically influence the squat, width of
stance and degree of external rotation will affect movement and the hips and back will
be a deciding factor in whether a squat is successful or not.
Foot placement for squat - ✔✔Slightly outside hip width at the heels with toes
turned out comfortably-20 to 30 degrees from center. Foot and thigh should be parallel
with each other, do not point toes out extremely far.
