1. strategic implementation of specific training phases, which use variables
such as rest periods, training volume, and exercise selection to focus on
adaptations. These phases—preparatory, competitive, and transition—are
based on an athlete's season of sport or competition. - ANSWER ✔
Periodization
2. Performance training steps - ANSWER ✔ Balance
Strength and endurance
Power
3. Essential strength movements - ANSWER ✔ squats hip hinges rows
4. Power - ANSWER ✔ Strength+speed
5. Aacessory exercise - ANSWER ✔ Lower intensity
,6. Common accessory exercises - ANSWER ✔ reverse lunges
Stability ball work
Pull ups
Core
Cable work
7. Accessory exercise purpose - ANSWER ✔ activation active rest isolation
8. TRAINING - ANSWER ✔ The process of preparing an athlete physically,
technically, tactically, psychologically, and theoretically for the highest
levels of performance.
9. RECOVERY - ANSWER ✔ The process of returning the body to a stable
resting state, according to the homeostatic principle, after bouts of exertion.
10.RECOVERY ADAPTATION - ANSWER ✔ improvements in the muscle
and cardiovascular system that will ultimately result in improvements in
performance.
11.Training causes fatigue, which causes a temporary reduction in performance
output. This reduction signals the beginning of two processes within the
body: (1) the recovery process, leading to the reestablishment of full ability
to function; and (2) the adjustment process, leading to the functional
improvement of performance and the morphological reorganization of the
functional systems under stress. - ANSWER ✔
12.stress - ANSWER ✔ precursor to a need for recovery adapation
13.STRESS - ANSWER ✔ Anything that causes an organism to react.
,14.Eustress - ANSWER ✔ positive stress
15.The alarm stage is marked by the following changes: - ANSWER ✔
Increased heart rate
Increased cardiac output
Increased respiration
Increased temperature
Oxygen dissociation improvement
Increased sympathetic nervous activity
Decreased parasympathetic nervous activity
Increased hormone and endocrine gland secretion
16.Flexibility - ANSWER ✔ The ability to flex, extend, or circumduct the
body's joints through their intended full range of motion without substantial
decrement in limit strength.
17.Training Progressions - ANSWER ✔ General to specific
Seated or lying to standing
Single joint to multi joint
Stable to unstable
Simultaneous to alternating
Slow to fast
18.The SSC of muscle contraction driving plyometrics has three phases: a
loading eccentric phase, a transitional amortization phase, and a(n) -
ANSWER ✔ Unloading phase
19.During which stage of the SSC are the muscle spindles stretched along with
the noncontractile tissues within the muscle? - ANSWER ✔ Eccentric phase
, 20.What detects changes in length of muscle fiber, and signal through afferent
neurons to the spinal cord and the brain? - ANSWER ✔ Muscle spindle
21.With a foundation of power, plyometrics can benefit athletes of any sport. -
ANSWER ✔ True
22.Regarding recovery from plyometric training, what is the recommended
duration of rest between training sessions? - ANSWER ✔ 48-72 hours
23.Regarding the progression of plyometric exercises, which of the following is
the logical progression from the squat jump? - ANSWER ✔ Broad Jump
24.Muscle contraction order - ANSWER ✔ Brain
Spinal cord
Spinal nerves
Neurons
Muscle fibers
25.Personal training integrated process - ANSWER ✔ Establish yourself as a
pro
Data collect
Guided discovery
Feel the water
Establish lifestyle
26.The 5 Rs - ANSWER ✔ Range of motion, resistance, repetitions, rest,
recovery
