36
What are the options to enhance muscle hypertrophy?
- perform primary exercises followed by assisted within a targeted area. - alternating upper and lower extremity exercises within or between sessions - group pushing and pulling muscles in a session (chest, shoulders, triceps) - alternate pushing and pulling or target joint agonists. - perform supersets where exercises are doen in sequence with little or no rest in between.
37
How do you do repetition volume calculation?
= Sets x Reps
38
How do you calculate load volume?
= exercise weightload x reps x sets
39
how are training intensity and training volume related?
inversely related.
40
How many seconds per rep is recommended?
6 seconds per rep
41
What are the training principles?

42
What are 2 types of pregression?
Increase the number of reps | Gradually increase exercise workload
43
When a person stops training they lose strenth at what rate?
lose at one half the rate it was gained.
44
what is the principle of reversibility?
If you do not make strength training a lifestyle you will lose strength and muscles will become smaller and weaker.
45
What is diminshing returns?
As you reach your genetic capacity fir muscle size and strength the rate of development decreases accordingly.
46
What are the 3 time segments in periodized training?
Macrocycles, mesocycles, and microcycles
47
What is a macrocycle?
Program time frame, like 6-12 months.
48
What is a mesocycle?
specific training goals that can be 2-3 months each that help get to long term goal.
49
What are microcycles?
Progressive training segments for each mesocycle. are 2-4 weeks in length and help make small steps toward larger goals.
50
What is linear periodization and undulating periodization?
Linear- consistent training withing each microcycle and changes training variables after microcycle. Undulating- provides different training protocols during each microcycle in addition to after a microcycle.
51
What assessments are done in phase 2 of resistance training?
movement screens, core-mucular endurance segments
52
What does the FIRST guidlelines mean
``` Frequency Intensity Repetitions sets Type ```
53
What is the standard recomendation for progression increase?
5% resistance increase whenever the end range of number of reps is completed.
54
What is the focus of phase 3, load training?
Muscle force production. must assess muscular strength and endurance periodically through this phase.
55
what are the 2 types of training?
- fewer weekly exercise session with longer duration workouts - split routine strength training with more weekly exercises, but shorter duration.
56
How do you train for muscle hypertrophy or body building?
high training volumes and brief rests between sets. Work each major muscle group twice a week.
57
What is a compound set?
2 or more exercises for same muscle group in rapid succession to completely fatigue that muscle.
58
What is breakdown training?
Train to muscle fatigue then immediately reduce resistance by 10-20% and then perform as many additional reps as possible.
59
What is assisted training?
Train muscles to fatigue then receive manual assistance from a trianiner on the lifting phase for 3-5 post fatigue reps.
60

True
76
