Weightlifting Study guide Complete Questions and
Answers Verified 100% Correct
Overload Principle - ✔✔- Muscles adapt and grow when they are forced (with proper
form) to overcome resistance they have not experienced before.
Concentric contraction - ✔✔- (Positive) Put simply, this contraction shortens your
muscle as it acts against resistive force (like a weight)
Eccentric contraction - ✔✔- the muscles lengthen while producing force—usually by
returning from a shortened (concentric) position to a resting position.
Isometric contraction - ✔✔- contraction with no visible movement
Periodization - ✔✔- a form or resistance training that may be defined as strategic
implementation of specific training phases. These training phases are based upon
increasing and decreasing both volume (which is reps times sets) and intensity (which is
the load or percentage of 1RM) when designing a training program.
Anabolic Steroids - ✔✔- artificial male hormones that cause muscle hypertrophy
Volume - ✔✔- Set x reps x resistance
DOMS - ✔✔- Delayed onset muscle soreness.
Repeated Bout effect - ✔✔- the adaptation whereby a single bout of eccentric
exercise protects against muscle damage from subsequent eccentric bouts.
