EXSC 508 CHAPTER 3
In an annual training plan, the classical progression of volume and intensity shifts from -
ANSWER-higher volumes and lower intensities toward lower volumes and higher
intensities
Which of the following is the primary reason for sport scientists to stay abreast of the
evolving body of scientific training knowledge? - ANSWER-to make informed
recommendations about new training, recovery, or nutritional methods that may be
considered for implementation by the interdisciplinary team (IDT)
Periodization is a rigid programming construct that does not account for the individual
athlete's ability to adapt to training stressors. - ANSWER-False
Sport scientists play a critical role in periodization and programming because -
ANSWER-they possess unique skills in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting
monitoring data
Most commonly, the periodized training plan comprises a total of seven interrelated
levels (or time intervals). Select the correct order of these intervals from longest to
shortest. - ANSWER-multiyear plan, annual plan, macrocycle, mesocycle, microcycle,
training day, training session
The process of organizing _________ strategies and aligning them with targeted
_________ goals and timelines is the planning construct referred to as _________. -
ANSWER-programming; performance; periodization
Which of the following factors should ideally be considered when developing a
periodization plan or strategy? - ANSWER-the athlete's physical training program,
recovery and nutritional strategies, and psychological and motor skill development
The periodization model that arranges a limited number of training factors in a logical
pattern toward a targeted outcome is known as - ANSWER-the sequential or block
training model
__________ is a macro-management strategy that serves as a training blueprint and
forecasting tool, whereas __________ delineates modes and methods used to structure
the training stimulus the athlete is exposed to. - ANSWER-Periodization; programming
The periodization model that allows for several training factors to be trained
simultaneously with varying emphasis over time is known as - ANSWER-the emphasis
or pendulum training model
In an annual training plan, the classical progression of volume and intensity shifts from -
