What are the 2 basic principles of personal training?
- correct answer 1. overload principle
a. specificity principle
b. progression principle
2. reversibility of training principle
What is the overload principle of training (working out)?
- correct answer It is exercising at an above normal level (pushing yourself) in any of three ways:
frequency, intensity or time.
What is the frequency of training (working out)?
- correct answer It is the number of times we do a work out (training program) in a given period (i.e.
three days per week).
What is the intensity of a work out (training)?
- correct answer It is the amount of effort put forth or the amount of stress placed on the body (i.e. push
the limits versus playing it safe).
What is time of a work out (training)?
- correct answer It is the amount of time that passes from the beginning of the work out to the end.
What is the specificity principle of training (working out)?
- correct answer It is focusing and pushing yourself (overloading) on one of the five particular
components of fitness during a workout.
What is the progression principle of training (working out)?
- correct answer In response to the fact that the body will adapt to a particular workout (training
, method), it is the principle that you have to increase the load (one of 3 ways) in order to further benefit
by your workout (training method).
What is the reversibility-of-training principle of working out?
- correct answer It is the principle that you will lose everything you've gained if you stop working out.
What are the two types of physical training exercises (workouts) that increase the capacity of energy
pathways to store and deliver energy for activity?
- correct answer They are metabolic training and cardiovascular conditioning (cardio).
What are the two main types of metabolic training often at the center of controversy and debate?
- correct answer They are aerobic and anaerobic conditioning.
What is aerobic conditioning?
- correct answer It is a workout that allows our body's oxygen to release energy through metabolism. It
is of low to moderate intensity and lasts for more than 2 minutes. It is continuous. In other words, it is a
workout that raises the body's heart rate to its target heart rate zone and keeps it there. Examples
include running, jogging, aerobic classes, swimming, and bike riding, to name a few. These workouts are
primarily for cardio (cardiovascular endurance). It is essential for fat loss, energy production, and
effective functioning of the cardiovascular system.
What is anaerobic conditioning?
- correct answer It is a workout whereby the body releases energy but without the aid of oxygen
through metabolism. It is of medium or high intensity. In other words, it is a workout that does not keep
the body's heart rate at its target heart rate because there are periods of rest. Examples include
weightlifting and golf. These workouts are primarily for muscle strength or endurance).
What is the cornerstone of athletic conditioning programs?
- correct answer Aerobic conditioning is the cornerstone.
What is metabolism?
- correct answer The combination of chemical reactions through which an organism builds up or breaks
down materials as it carries out its life processes.
