NFHS UNIT 4 EXAM QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
When carbohydrate is metabolized without oxygen, it is called:
Muscle glycolysis
Aerobic glycolysis
Anaerobic glycolysis
Involuntary glycolysis
anaerobic glycolysis
Complete the following sentence. If the length of an activity is greater than 150
seconds, the _____________ energy system is predominately used.
ATP/PC
Intercellular phosphate
Anaerobic glycolysis
Aerobic glycolysis
aerobic glycolysis
All three energy systems are used in all sports and should be trained and
improved for successful sport performance.
true
The specificity of training principle means that exercise and training should be
specific to the type of strength and demands required for the athletic event.
,true
Students will recover faster from common viral illnesses (e.g., a cold) if they
continue the same level of training with no additional rest.
false
Research has shown that humans improve their task performance through the
application of stress followed by:
Aerobic activity
Sedentary activity
Carbohydrates
Relief of stress
relief of stress
An extended period of poor performance in training or competition is a potential
marker of overtraining.
true
Dividing the pre-season into three, 4-week blocks of time is referred to as
"periodization." Each 4-week block should begin with:
A hard week followed by an easy week and another hard week.
A hard week followed by a week off.
An easy week, followed by medium/hard week, followed by the hardest week.
An easy week followed by a medium week and another easy week.
An easy week, followed by medium/hard week, followed by the hardest week.
, The "Use it or lose it!" principle (reversibility) states that if training is stopped, a
student's strength, fitness and body composition will return to pre-training levels
very quickly - within two weeks.
true
Based on the specificity and reversibility principle, training during the off-season
should:
Be similar to training during the competitive season, i.e., students should
compete year-round.
Focus on improving anaerobic systems.
Focus primarily on tactics and techniques related to the sport.
Focus on general strength and conditioning in activities similar to the sport
Focus on general strength and conditioning in activities similar to the sport
When a student can no longer execute a movement or technique at her current
level of skill, it generally means that she is fatigued.
true
An effective warm-up includes which of the following activities: (Select all that
apply).
10 to 15 minutes of low intensity activities
A set that improves the anaerobic energy system
Static and dynamic stretching
An activity that quickly places stress on the body
High-intensity plyometrics
10 to 15 minutes of low intensity activities, static and dynamic stretching
