Exam 16: Resistance Exercise Prescription

Which of the following would be considered an assistance exercise?

Which factor affects training intensity?

Greater strength gains are seen when athletes use only concentric muscle actions during resistance training.

What is a measure or estimate of the total work performed that is strongly related to total energy expenditure?

The deadlift is an example of a _____-joint exercise.

The highest power output achieved in an exercise is a function of:

You have been asked to design a resistance training program for an experienced weight lifter who is training for maximal power. Briefly explain the importance of repetition velocity in power development.

The athlete's training status (i.e. novice vs. experienced) influences the prescription of exercise load.

Strength gains are influenced by:

Heavy- and light-day training refer to aspects of the:

Exercise intensity is related to:

Training ________ equals sets (number) x repetitions (number) x resistance (weight).

Briefly describe the differences between strength training and muscular endurance training with respect to training intensity (load), number of repetitions per set, and inter-set rest periods.

_____________ involves providing an appropriate stimulus for attaining a desired level of physical, physiological, or performance adaptation.

Periodization is:

You have been asked to design a resistance training program for an experienced weight lifter who is training for maximal strength. How many sets per exercise would you recommend (single or multiple) and justify your response.

When training for muscular endurance, approximately how long should inter-set rest periods be?

Ballistic exercises are commonly used for power training because:

__________ exercises occur when the distal end of the moving segment is in contact with a fixed surface.

How can the goals of training best be met?
