NSCA CPSS REVIEW PRACTICE TEST 2024

NSCA CPSS REVIEW PRACTICE TEST 2024. 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
