One complete movement of an exercise.

Answer 19

Repetition

Question 20

A group of consecutive repetitions.

Answer 20

The sum of the repetitions performed in a given set during each training session, multiplied by the resistance used.

Answer 23

Training volume

Question 24

All the building blocks that are used to design an exercise program, which include repetitions, sets, training intensity, repetition tempo, rest intervals, training volume, training frequency, training duration, exercise selection, and exercise order.

Answer 24

Examples of Acute Variables

Question 25

Training method that involves different types of stretching techniques to improve tissue extensibility, which allows the body to move freely without being hindered.

Answer 25

Flexibility training

Question 26

Training method that refers to the capacity of respiratory and cardiovascular systems to provide muscles with oxygen during sustained and/or intense exercise

Answer 26

Cardiorespiratory training

Question 27

is the ability to control the position and motion of the trunk over the pelvis and legs for optimal production, transfer, and control of force and motion

Answer 27

Core stability

Question 28

A training method that can create better movement patterns for all clients and reduce the occurrence of falls in the elderly and ankle sprains for athletes. Used for improving postural control by challenging the alignment of the body’s center of gravity with regard to the base of support

Answer 28

Balance training

Question 29

Training method is also known as reactive or jump training. Form of exercise characterized by the expression of muscular power

Answer 29

Plyometric Training

Question 30

System of progressive exercises and instruction aimed at developing fundamental motor abilities to enhance the capability of individuals to be more skillful at faster speeds and with greater precision. Another form of exercise that can be misconstrued as something fit just for athletic purposes. Like plyometrics, these drills can all be modified to be beneficial for most types of clients.

Answer 30

Speed, agility, and quickness (SAQ) training

Question 31

Training method that is an effective mode of exercise to improve bone density and muscular strength and enhance cardiovascular health, promotes marked increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy, plays a fundamental role in improving athletic performance and rehabilitation from musculoskeletal injury, and effective method for increasing lean body mass and reducing body fat, especially when it is combined with proper dietary measures.

Answer 31

Resistance training

Question 32

A process of programming that systematically progresses any client to any fitness or sport-performance goal. This model is based on the scientific rationale of human movement science and uses the principles of integrated training discussed throughout this chapter.

Answer 32

Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model

Question 33

3 levels of training of OPT model

Answer 33

1. Stabilization 2. Strength 3. Power

Question 34

5 sub phases of OPT model

Answer 34

1. Stabilization endurance 2. Strength endurance 3. Muscular development 4. Maximal strength 5. Power

Question 35

The phase of OPT designed to teach optimal movement patterns (e.g., pushing, pulling, pressing, squatting, hip hinging) and to help clients become familiar with various modes of exercise

Answer 35

Phase 1: Stabilization Endurance Training

Question 36

Two exercises performed back to back in rapid succession with minimal to no rest. The first exercise is a traditional strength exercise performed in a stable environment (such as a bench press), whereas the second exercise is a stabilization-focused exercise performed in a less stable (yet controllable) environment (such as a stability ball push-up)
