PAPER QUESTIONS ANSWERS
COMPREHENSIVE STUDY RESOURCE
●● Transtheoretical Model of Change
Answer: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action,
maintenance, reversibility
●● precontemplation stage
Answer: the stage of change in which a person might develop increased
awareness of an opportunity but is not yet thinking seriously about
making the change
●● Contemplation stage
Answer: the stage of behaviour change in which a person develops
increased belief and confidence in the possibility of change
●● Preparation stage
Answer: the stage of behaviour change in which a person becomes
informed about the requirements for success and makes plans to
implement change
●● Action stage
,Answer: the stage of behaviour in which a person takes appropriate steps
toward achieving the desired change
●● structural tolerance
Answer: the principle of physical fitness that suggests that the
strengthening of tissues in and around joints will result in the ability to
sustain subsequently greater stresses in training with greater resistance to
injury.
●● all-around development
Answer: the training principle that suggests that people who are well
developed through all components of fitness are less prone to injury, and
more likely to have performance increases in sport and in life.
●● reversibility
Answer: the training principle that suggests that after training ceases, the
body gradually returns to it's pre-training state.
●● maintenance
Answer: the training principle that suggests once a certain level of
fitness has been achieved, it is possible to maintain it at less effort than it
took to acquire it
●● cardiorespiratory capacity
,Answer: the ability of the body to take in oxygen (respiration), deliver it
to the cells (circulation), and use it at the cellular level to create energy
(bioenergetics) for physical work (activity)
●● muscular capacity
Answer: the full spectrum of muscular capability, including endurance,
strength and power
●● Maintenance stage
Answer: the stage of behaviour change in which, after change has
occurred, the person continues with the behaviours required for success.
●● exercise adherence
Answer: the act, or actions, of consistently participating in the assigned
physical training activities
●● SMART goals
Answer: goals expressed in a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic,
and time-sensitive manner.
●● FITT
Answer: The training principle that suggests that when designing a
group fitness class program, the frequency, intensity, time, and type of
exercise must be considered.
, ●● Individualization
Answer: the training principle that suggests that program design must be
made to accommodate every participant's individual needs.
●● Specificity
Answer: the training principle that suggests that if participants want to
improve an aspect of their performance, they have to train that aspect
deliberately
●● Progressive overload
Answer: suggests that to improve, participants must continually
challenge their fitness. This occurs through gradually increasing the
volume or intensity of the program to realize ongoing adaptations
●● Recovery
Answer: The training principle that suggests that a post-workout
recovery period must allow the participant to return to the next workout
at least as fit as the previous one, if not more.
●● Flexibility
Answer: Refers to absolute range of motion, or relative range of motion,
of a joint as a result of muscles that cross the joint
