NSCA CSCS EXAM REVIEW Questions and answers Graded A+ 100% Updated_ The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Database (MPFSD) includes fee calculations based on work expense, practice expense, and malpractice expense which are used in determining payments to physicians. Those figures are referred to as what? - CORRECT ANSWER-Relative Value Units Understand the relevant theory and principles that underpin training. - CORRECT ANSWER-Training Load model, Periodization, Parallel training model, Sequential Training Model, Periodization vs Programming - CORRECT ANSWER-Periodization is a a macro-management strategy that serves as a training blueprint, from which periods of time are assigned that target specific skills, fitness, or performance related factors. Volume and intensity are inversely related. 1-3 peaks/macrocycles per year Programming is an operation of strategic thinking which is best accomplished when ongoing monitoring is integrated into the periodization process. How is biological adaptation achieved? - CORRECT ANSWER-by disturbing the current capacity of the system What is supercompensation? - CORRECT ANSWER-Supercompensation is the effect whereby performance is enhanced if the body is able/allowed to adapt. What syndrome is supercompensation related to? - CORRECT ANSWER-General adaptation syndrome What is general adaptation syndrome? - CORRECT ANSWER-The framework of interaction between the imposed training stress, acute fatigue response, adaptation, and a new level of homeostasis/performance. How does overtraining syndrome develop? - CORRECT ANSWER-After continued high volume, high intensity training or both when an athlete is over-reached. Which training model is when performance of a positive fitness effect and a negative fatigue effect decay exponentially over time but at different rates? - CORRECT ANSWER-Fitness-fatigue model What is the dose-response relationship? - CORRECT ANSWER-relationship between the size of an administered dose and the intensity of the response produced What qualifies as external load? - CORRECT ANSWER-Amount of weight lifted, distance/speed of running, its what an athlete has done. What is it called when an athlete has responded to an external load? - CORRECT ANSWER-Internal load How is external load measured? - CORRECT ANSWER-camera systems, global positioning systems, local positioning systems, often in conjunction with other sensors such as accelerometers and power meters. What is the principle that the energy cost of acceleration is equivalent to running at a constant speed up an "equivalent slope"? - CORRECT ANSWER-Metabolic Power What is the most appropriate equation for quantifying resistance training load? - CORRECT ANSWER-Number of sets x number of repetitions x percent repetition max What is performance? - CORRECT ANSWER-A function of the difference between fitness and fatigue Which central and peripheral sites contribute to fatigue? - CORRECT ANSWER-Activation of the motor command (brain) Propagation of the action potential through the descending motor pathway Myofilament excitation-contraction coupling Status of the intracellular milieu What is Psychobiological model of fatigue? - CORRECT ANSWER-Modification of intensity whereby fatigue occurs when the effort required exceeds maximal effort the athlete is willing to exert or when the athlete believes the effort has been maximal and it feels impossible to continue. What is the Integrative governor theory? - CORRECT ANSWER-Suggests both psychological and physiological factors limit performance with a particular focus on subconscious avoidance of catastrophic failure due to severe disruptions in homeostasis. what is the deterministic model of training? - CORRECT ANSWER-a model of sports performance wherein there is a unique consequence or or outcome to every input or state What is a dynamic systems theory of training? - CORRECT ANSWER-a model of sports performance used to describe complex behavior across complex and dynamic systems What are positive adaptation measures when measuring heart rate? - CORRECT ANSWER-Improvements in heart rate variability and heart rate recovery at rest and post exercise. In which environments and with what frequency of monitoring of HRV is a good indication of positive adaptation? - CORRECT ANSWER-Team sports when used at least once a week Individual sports when used at least once a week When is there limited usefulness with measuring HR(V)? - CORRECT ANSWER-When measuring less than once a week or when neuromuscular and cognitive function are the main determinants of sport. How is invisible monitoring defined? - CORRECT ANSWER-As assessing athletes as ready go compete by increasing load with actual training drills such as small sided games. What is the relevancy of a reduction in flight time:contraction time measured from a CMJ? - CORRECT ANSWER-It shows the fatigue from playing small-sided games What are the 5 psychometric inventories used to monitor the global psychological response? - CORRECT ANSWER-Profile Of Moods States (POMS) Daily Analyses of Life Demands for Athletes (DALDA) Multi-Component Training Distress Scale Recovery and Stress Questionairre (REST-Q Sport) Athlete Reported Outcome Measures (AROMs) What factors are considered for the complexity of training and load? - CORRECT ANSWER-Physiological - kinetic energy(distance/speed threshold), metabolic power(accelerations), VO2, Cardiovascular demand, RPE Biomechanical - Whole-body loads (Ground reaction forces), Accelerations and decelerations (Magnitude and frequency), Rate of acceleration (Playerload TM), Joint Load, perceived tissue damage, RPE How is validity represented by data? - CORRECT ANSWER-Various statistics, including a correlation, the typical error of the estimate, and bias degree to which the field measure tends to over- or under-estimate compared to the criterion. What is the coefficient of variation? - CORRECT ANSWER-The variability of test - retest scores, and the change in the mean score between repeated trials. removal of linearity What are the basic characteristics of Overload? - CORRECT ANSWER-Intensity -(force, RFD, power) Specificity- (degree of similarity between the performance and training exercises (metabolic and mechanical) - Enhances "transfer of training effect" Variation - method of manipulating the overload and degree of specificity; and is the most important factor in guiding training toward a specific goal and for fatigue management. What is non-linear training? - CORRECT ANSWER-Periodization What is a concentrated load? - CORRECT ANSWER-A phase of training emphasizing one specific characteristic Eg. long-term endurance, strength-endurance, basic strength, power, speed
