Kines-165 Exam 2 Questions with Answers
(100% Correct Answers)
Types of resistive training Answer: Bodybuilding, general conditioning,
powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, sports conditioning
Bodybuilding Answer: Develop muscles proportionally, fullest extent,
minimize %fat, primary objective-physique development, secondary objective-
strength development
General conditioning Answer: Low level bodybuilding, competition not an
objective, enhance appearance/body image is main goal
Powerlifting Answer: Lift maximal weight (1RM) in 3 lifts, primary objective-
strength development
What are the three lifts for powerlifting? Answer: Supine bench press, squat,
dead lift
Olympic weightlifting Answer: Objective is to lift maximal weight in 2 lifts,
main emphasis is on power development
What are the two lifts of Olympic weightlifting? Answer: Snatch, clean and jerk
Sports conditioning Answer: Combines components of Olympic, powerlifting,
bodybuilding, primary objective- performance (increase power/strength),
weight-room exercises should mimic the specific sports' techniques.
Strength Answer: The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to express
maximal force against a resistance
Power Answer: A rate of doing work and the ability to express force at high
velocity
Muscular Endurance Answer: Ability of a muscle or group of muscles to
sustain repeated action against a sub-maximal load
,2
Hypertrophy Answer: Enlargement and replication of myofibrils within
mechanically-stressed fiber cells which increases girth of stressed fiber cells and
increases muscles cross section
Hyperplasia Answer: Replication and increase girth of mechanically-stressed
fibers which increases muscles cross section
Atrophy Answer: Regression from growth in either hypertrophy or hyperplasia
What is a 1RM? Answer: The maximal amount of weight that can be lifted
concentrically only once with good form and technique
How is intensity defined? Answer: Effort during a set
What are two ways of assessing intensity? Answer: %RM and degree of fatigue
after a set
What is the difference between %RM and degree of fatigue after a set? Answer:
%RM is relative assessment and degree of fatigue is subjective and can vary
from day to day
Training Voluem Answer: The quantity of training, usually defined as the
product of sets x reps
What is added to training volume for a more descriptive definition Answer:
Sets x reps (x # of exercises per muscle x workouts per week)
Rest interval Answer: The time period taken between sets to allow for partial
recovery of the stressed muscles
Sticking point Answer: Point of weakest leverage within the exercises ROM,
where the load "feels" the heaviest
Lifting to failure (RM Lifting) Answer: Every set taken to repetition maximum,
implies high intensity training
, 3
Static (isometric) muscle contraction Answer: Tension development with no
apparent change in external length, tension at both ends, there is always
shortening for tension to occur
Dynamic muscle contraction Answer: Tension development while the muscle
changes lengths
Concentric Answer: Tension while shortening
Eccentric Answer: Tension while lengthening
Isokinetic Answer: While shortening or lengthening at a constant velocity
What is the disadvantage to isokinetic contractions? Answer: No carry over in
athletic performance because of same angular velocity.
What is isokinetic type contractions good for? Answer: Rehab
ROM Answer: When establishing ROM for various exercises, the sport's
specific ROM in question must be considered as strength development is ROM-
Specific, because recruitment ability must match sport specific motions
Repetition speed Answer: The concentric phase should be done faster than the
eccentric phase
Why should the concentric phase be done faster than the eccentric phase?
Answer: Performance is concentrically (and ballistically) expressed and to
enhance it, forceful, concentric (speed loaded) lifting is waranted
What is the repetition speed based on Answer: Newton's second law of motion
(f=m x a)
What kind of load should be speed loaded and during what contraction?
Answer: Should only be attempted during concentric phase and with loads that
can't be jerked, >85% 1RM
