Chapter 15 - Resistance Training Questions With Complete
Solutions
1 repetition maximum (1RM) Correct Answers great amount of
weight that can be lifted w/proper technique for only one
repetition
2 for 2 rule Correct Answers if athlete can perform two or more
repetitions over assigned repetition goal for a given exercise in
the last set in two consecutive workouts, weight should be added
to that exercise for the next training session.
agonist Correct Answers muscle/muscle group actively causing
the movement
antagonist Correct Answers muscle/muscle group located on
opposite side of the limb (not concentrically involved/passive)
Assistance exercises Correct Answers • train a smaller muscle
group (e.g., the upper arms, abdominals, calf, neck, forearms,
lower back, or anterior lower leg);
• involve only one joint of the body (called a single-joint
exercise); and
• do not qualify for 1RM testing, because of the heavy load they
place on the single joint and smaller muscles.
assistance exercises Correct Answers recruit smaller muscle
areas (upper arm, abs, calf, neck, forearm, lower back, anterior
lower leg)
, circuit training Correct Answers arranging exercises minimizes
length of rest between body parts and rest periods (20-30
seconds)
sometimes used to improve cardio endurance
