An extended period of poor performance in training or competition is a potential marker
of overtraining. - ✔️✔️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
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
When carbohydrate is metabolized without oxygen, it is called:
Muscle glycolysis
Aerobic glycolysis
Anaerobic glycolysis
Involuntary glycolysis - ✔️✔️anaerobic glycolysis
, 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
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
Both females and males gain weight throughout adolescence but it is accompanied by
an increase in height. - ✔️✔️false
A teacher/coach should consider maturational variation by implementing which of the
following strategies?
Criticize female athletes for their weight gain and institute dieting practices during the
competitive season.
Recognize that a short adjustment period may be necessary for an athlete who has had
a significant growth spurt as he/she becomes accustomed to bodily changes.
Treat all students equally by having them compete with one another regardless of
physical size.
Give attention to just those students who exhibit strong athletic prowess -
✔️✔️Recognize that a short adjustment period may be necessary for an athlete who

Which of the following is true about the consequences of using anabolic steroids?
(select all that apply).
Can produce feminine side effects in boys.
Can produce masculine side effects in girls.
Can close growth plates in bones stopping further increases in height. - ✔️✔️Can
