Training Principles & Thresholds

What is the principle that states that training must be done at a level beyond what the body is accustomed to in order to see improvements?

• principle of maintenance

• principle of overload

• principle of stagnation

• principle of underload

Which principle of training focuses on the idea that the body will adapt specifically to the type of training it undergoes?

• Randomization

• Diversity

• Specificity

• Generalization

Explain the concept of the overload principle in training.

• The overload principle implies that the body adapts best to the same routine without changes.

• The overload principle states that training should remain at a constant intensity level.

• The overload principle in training emphasizes the need to progressively increase the demands on the body to see improvements.

• The overload principle suggests that decreasing the training load leads to better results.

How does the specificity principle influence training programs?

• The specificity principle has no impact on training programs

• Training programs should cover a wide range of unrelated topics

• Training programs are influenced by the specificity principle by ensuring that they are targeted and focused on the specific skills or abilities that need improvement.

• Specificity in training programs leads to decreased performance

What happens when the body stops training and loses the adaptations gained from training?

• Enhancement of adaptations due to the principle of reversibility

• Maintenance of adaptations due to the principle of reversibility

• Increase in adaptations due to the principle of reversibility

• Loss of adaptations due to the principle of reversibility

What are the individual thresholds that determine the intensity of training needed for improvement?

• Principle of overload, specificity, reversibility, and individual differences

• Principle of underload, generality, and group similarities

Describe the Anaerobic Alactic Energy System and its role in training.

• This energy system is responsible for activities lasting over 30 minutes.

• The Anaerobic Alactic Energy System is primarily used for long-distance running.

• The Anaerobic Alactic Energy System is responsible for short bursts of high-intensity activities lasting up to 10 seconds. Training involves explosive exercises to improve power and speed.

• Training for the Anaerobic Alactic Energy System involves slow and steady movements.

What is the Anaerobic Lactic Energy System and how does it contribute to training?

• This energy system primarily uses oxygen to produce energy.

• It contributes to training by slowing down muscle growth.

• The Anaerobic Lactic Energy System contributes to training by providing energy for high-intensity activities and improving the body's ability to buffer lactic acid and utilize glycogen efficiently.

• The Anaerobic Lactic Energy System is only beneficial for endurance training.

Discuss the importance of the Aerobic Energy System in endurance training.

• The Aerobic Energy System leads to decreased endurance performance

• Endurance training relies solely on the Anaerobic Energy System

• The Aerobic Energy System is not important in endurance training

• The Aerobic Energy System is essential in endurance training due to its ability to sustain energy production through the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats with oxygen.

How can an individual determine their anaerobic threshold for training purposes?

• Perform a lactate threshold test by gradually increasing exercise intensity while measuring blood lactate levels.

• Use a heart rate monitor during exercise and estimate anaerobic threshold based on heart rate zones.

• Consult a horoscope to determine the anaerobic threshold.

• Ask a friend to guess the anaerobic threshold based on appearance.
