Worksheet Questions, Chapter 1, The Warm-Up Exercise 1. True or False. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false by clicking on (or if you are using a printed hard copy circling) + if true and O if false. If the statement is false, correct it in the space provided. + O 1. Exercise responses are the physiological changes resulting from a consistent exercise training program; exercise adaptations are the physiological changes that occur during a single exercise bout. + O 2. To accurately describe the response to acute exercise, it is necessary to consider the intensity, duration, and modality of the exercise. + O 3. To properly interpret and evaluate the pattern of responses to all six categories of exercise, it is important to consider the age, sex, and physiological status of the exerciser; the match between the test and the goal for testing; the accuracy possible with the test; and environmental and experimental conditions. + O 4. The basis of comparison for exercise responses are exercise versus resting values; the basis of comparison for training adaptations are posttraining values versus pretraining values (rest pre-post; submaximal and/or maximal exercise pre-post).
+ O 5. An absolute submaximal workload is a predetermined set load such as lifting 75 lb as many times as possible or running 1 mile as quickly as possible; a relative submaximal workload is pro-rated to each individual such as lifting 75% of his/her maximal load as many times as possible or running at 75% maximal HR. + O 6. If a group of individuals of varying fitness levels is presented with a relative submaximal exercise task, those who are more fit will be less challenged and score better than those who are less fit. + O 7. Physical fitness test batteries typically utilize absolute exercise tasks (e.g., a 1-mile run/walk), whereas exercise prescriptions are typically based on relative submaximal exercise workloads (e.g., 75% HRmax). + O 8. Some activity is always better than no activity from a healthy dose-response relationship perspective. + O 9. Field test results provide direct measurements of physiological variables as precisely and accurately as laboratory tests and can serve as criterion tests. + O 10. The two key elements for achieving a training adaptation are overload and rest/recovery.
+ O 11. Progression is best implemented as a continuous series of increasing workloads. + O 12. A warm-up prepares the body for activity by stretching to increase joint range of motion. + O 13. Periodization macrocycles and microcycles have five basic goals or patterns: developmental, shock, competitive (maintenance), tapering (unloading), and transition (regression). + O 14. Shock cycles should always be followed by a tapering (unloading regeneration) cycle. + O 15. All evaluation testing to determine an athlete s response to training should be done at the end of a developmental cycle. + O 16. From the standpoint of stress theory, the goal of a training program is to alternate the exerciser between Stages I and II and to avoid Stage III where recovery is not possible in a reasonable time.
+ O 17. Both a single acute bout of exercise and chronic exercise training are stressors. + O 18. Stress is defined as a disruption in body homeostasis. + O 19. The best graphic descriptor for the continuum that represents training adaptation (untrained, optimally trained) and maladaptation (overreached, overtrained) is an initial rise, plateau at steady state, followed by a positive drift. Exercise 2. Interpreting Tables: Categories of Exercise. Complete the following table to indicate the intensity and duration of the categories of exercise for which response patterns will be described and discussed throughout the text. In the last column give an example of an activity of daily living, physical fitness testing, or sport for the described category. Exercise Category Intensity of Duration of Example Exercise Exercise Static Dynamic resistance Very-short-term, high-intensity anaerobic
exercise Incremental aerobic to maximum Long-term, moderate to heavy submaximal aerobic exercise Short-term, light to moderate submaximal aerobic exercise Exercise 3. Interpreting Tables: Graphs.
