QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
WITH RATIONALES (VERIFIED ANSWERS)
|ALREADY GRADED A+
How does overtraining syndrome develop? - ANSWER- 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? - ANSWER- Fitness-fatigue model
What is the dose-response relationship? - ANSWER- relationship
between the size of an administered dose and the intensity of the
response produced
What qualifies as external load? - ANSWER- Amount of weight lifted,
distance/speed of running, its what an athlete has done.
What is it called when an athlete has responded to an external load? -
ANSWER- Internal load
,How is external load measured? - ANSWER- camera systems, global
positioning systems, local positioning systems, often in conjunction with
other sensors such as accelerometers and power meters.
What is the principle that the energy cost of acceleration is equivalent to
running at a constant speed up an "equivalent slope"? - ANSWER-
Metabolic Power
What is the most appropriate equation for quantifying resistance training
load? - ANSWER- Number of sets x number of repetitions x percent
repetition max
What is performance? - ANSWER- A function of the difference between
fitness and fatigue
Which central and peripheral sites contribute to fatigue? - ANSWER-
Activation of the motor command (brain)
Propagation of the action potential through the descending motor
pathway
Myofilament excitation-contraction coupling
Status of the intracellular milieu
What is Psychobiological model of fatigue? - ANSWER- Modification
of intensity whereby fatigue occurs when the effort required exceeds
maximal effort the athlete is willing to exert or when the athlete believes
the effort has been maximal and it feels impossible to continue.
, What is the Integrative governor theory? - ANSWER- Suggests both
psychological and physiological factors limit performance with a
particular focus on subconscious avoidance of catastrophic failure due to
severe disruptions in homeostasis.
what is the deterministic model of training? - ANSWER- a model of
sports performance wherein there is a unique consequence or or outcome
to every input or state
What is a dynamic systems theory of training? - ANSWER- a model of
sports performance used to describe complex behavior across complex
and dynamic systems
What are positive adaptation measures when measuring heart rate? -
ANSWER- Improvements in heart rate variability and heart rate
recovery at rest and post exercise.
In which environments and with what frequency of monitoring of HRV
is a good indication of positive adaptation? - ANSWER- Team sports
when used at least once a week
Individual sports when used at least once a week
When is there limited usefulness with measuring HR(V)? - ANSWER-
When measuring less than once a week or when neuromuscular and
cognitive function are the main determinants of sport.
