Personal Training
Correct 100%
Balance - ANSWER The ability to maintain a certain posture or to move without falling; symmetrical.
Distal - ANSWER Situated away from the center or midline of the body, or from the point of origin
Coordination - ANSWER The ability to perform a task integrating movements of the body.
Cross Training - ANSWER Incorporating different modalities of exercise into one's overall training regimen
to avoid over-training, boredom, and/or plateau
Acclimatization - ANSWER A physiological adaptation to a new environment (higher altitude,
temperature, or humidity). It may take 7 to 12 days to acclimate to different environments
Conditioning - ANSWER Exercise conducted on a regular basis over a period of time ("training")
Reaction - ANSWER For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Agility - ANSWER Ability to start, stop, and move the body quickly in different directions
Kinesiology - ANSWER the scientific study of human movement
, Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) - ANSWER Muscle soreness that occurs 1-2 days after an
exercise training session.
Efficiency - ANSWER The ratio of energy expenditure to work output. How well an individual can perform
or execute an exercise.
Fartlek (Speed Play) - ANSWER A form of physical conditioning which alternates fast and slow running
over varied terrain for 3-4 miles.
Force - ANSWER Any push or pull that tends to cause movement
Specificity Concept - ANSWER The idea that one should train in a specific manner to achieve a specific
outcome.
Speed - ANSWER The ability to move the body quickly
Extension - ANSWER The movement of a limb caused by eccentric muscular contraction, resulting in an
increase in the angle of a joint.
Training Effect - ANSWER Overall positive improvements in the performance of the heart, lungs, and
muscles due to conditioning.
Training Variation - ANSWER Systematically manipulating training variables to create an overload thereby
demanding the body to adapt and improve.
FITT Principles - ANSWER The 4 principles involved in all progressive exercise programs.
Frequency, Intensity, Time (Duration,) Type
Frequency - ANSWER How often one exercises during the week or the number of sessions one exercises
during the week.
, Lateral Flexion - ANSWER Flexing to the side (Usually an action of the vertebral column).
Intensity - ANSWER How hard one works during an exercise session
Time (Duration) - ANSWER The length of the exercise session.
Interval Training - ANSWER A fitness workout that alternates harder and lighter bouts of intensities
throughout the session.
Overload Principle - ANSWER To place greater than usual demands upon some part of the body.
Prime Movers (Agonist) - ANSWER Muscles responsible for a definite movement of
a joint.
Periodization - ANSWER A specific period of time (weeks, months, or years) over which the frequency,
volume, and intensity of training are systematically varied to avoid over-training and to promote
continued progress.
Plyometrics - ANSWER A method of resistance training that emphasizes the stretching of the muscle
prior to the contraction.
Power - ANSWER The ability to exert muscular strength quickly.
Expressed as Force X Speed = _______________
Progressive Overload Principle - ANSWER Introducing overloads in a systematic manner
Reversibility - ANSWER A loss of performance (detraining) in cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular
strength and endurance and flexibility can occur when training ceases. One to two weeks of
cessation of physical activity can result in a reduction in specific fitness gains
