650 ACTUAL ADVANCED MULTIPLE-
CHOICE QUESTIONS
Understand the relevant theory and principles that underpin
training. - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Training Load model, Periodization,
Parallel training model, Sequential Training Model,
Periodization vs Programming - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..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? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..by
disturbing the current capacity of the system
What is supercompensation? -
✔✔ANSW✔✔..Supercompensation is the effect whereby
performance is enhanced if the body is able/allowed to adapt.
What syndrome is supercompensation related to? -
✔✔ANSW✔✔..General adaptation syndrome
, What is general adaptation syndrome? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..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? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..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? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Fitness-fatigue model
What is the dose-response relationship? -
✔✔ANSW✔✔..relationship between the size of an administered
dose and the intensity of the response produced
What qualifies as external load? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Amount of
weight lifted, distance/speed of running, its what an athlete has
done.
For off season training, what type of training programs increase
the preparedness of a team sports season? -
✔✔ANSW✔✔..Phase Potentiation(block periodization)
For in-season training, what type of program should be used? -
✔✔ANSW✔✔..Maintenance programming, moderate to high -
intensity and moderate volume variation.
What training should be avoided during season due to poor
fatigue management? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Attempts to increase
strength
