An interdisciplinary team (IDT) is a balance of both siloed and shared responsibilities.
Which of the following is an example of an independent responsibility? - ANSWER-a
physical therapist manipulating an athlete's hip joint
Within the modern high-performance unit (HPU), the sport coach is responsible for -
ANSWER-establishing the technical and tactical vision that forms the basis for how
athletes will play the game
The primary responsibility of a sport scientist is - ANSWER-to connect the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) to the right information at the right time so they can make
better decisions
The technology that acts as the sport science hub for most sport organizations is -
ANSWER-the athlete management system (AMS)
The three components of an interdisciplinary team's (IDT) work environment that should
be considered are - ANSWER-people, process, and place
The decision-making process of an interdisciplinary team (IDT) should rely primarily on -
ANSWER-objective, data-driven insights
________ refers to what an athlete has done (e.g., distance and speed of running,
kilograms lifted), whereas ________ refers to how the athlete has responded (either
physiologically or perceptually). - ANSWER-External training load; internal training load
Which of the following is not a potential limitation to the frequent use of tests to assess
specific fitness qualities? - ANSWER-Frequent testing overcomes potential learning
effects.
Dr. Hans Selye's framework for the interaction between stress, fatigue, and adaptation
is known as the - ANSWER-general adaptation syndrome
, The use of total repetitions (number of sets multiplied by the number of repetitions) as a
representation of external load in resistance training - ANSWER-fails to account for the
intensity of each set and the displacement of each repetition
_________ is one of the most frequently studied performance tasks used to assess the
response to training and the presence of neuromuscular fatigue. - ANSWER-The
countermovement jump (CMJ)
Invisible monitoring is - ANSWER-the assessment of fatigue via protocols that occur
within the normal training and competition process
What is the correct order of the steps in assessing the flow of high-quality information? -
ANSWER-measure, analyze, visualize, and interpret
The high-performance unit (HPU) comprises - ANSWER-strength and conditioning
professionals, physical therapists, nutritionists, and other specialists who support
performance off the field
The ability of a sport scientist to effectively calibrate messages to the intended IDT
member is rooted in - ANSWER-high emotional intelligence
Athlete monitoring allows practitioners to better understand the complex relationships
between - ANSWER-training, injury, illness, and performance outcomes
Choose the correct order of events concerning biological adaptation. - ANSWER-
disruption of homeostasis, transient performance reduction, supercompensation
A condition where an athlete has no impairment of physical performance, no mental
fatigue, and no excessive psychological distress is sometimes referred to as -
ANSWER-readiness
A period of deliberately planned intensified training leading to high fatigue, a temporary
performance decline, and subsequent supercompensation is known as - ANSWER-
functional overreaching
The process of organizing _________ strategies and aligning them with targeted
_________ goals and timelines is the planning construct referred to as _________. -
ANSWER-programming; performance; periodization
Sport scientists play a critical role in periodization and programming because -
ANSWER-they possess unique skills in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting
monitoring data
__________ is a macro-management strategy that serves as a training blueprint and
forecasting tool, whereas __________ delineates modes and methods used to structure
the training stimulus the athlete is exposed to. - ANSWER-Periodization; programming
