Chapter 4 Test

The muscle being stretched in response to contraction of the agonist muscle is called the antagonist muscle.

During the strength phase of the preparatory period, training is at a low intensity with a high volume of repetitions.

Push-ups and sit-ups are examples of bodyweight strengthening exercises.

a series of exercise stations consists of combinations of weight training, flexibility, bodyweight, brief aerobic ex

Which of the following statements is true of isometric exercises?

When a sprinter runs a 50-yard dash, which structure within the muscle is primarily being used?

tech of exercise that involves a rapid eccentric stretch of a muscle, followed immediately by rapid concentric contr

Passive range of motion requires muscle contraction.

strengthens by a contraction that overcomes some fixed resistance produced by equipment and uses isotonic contractions

Open-kinetic chain exercises -exercises in which the foot or hand is in contact with the ground or some other surface.

muscle contraction where the length of the muscle is changing while the contraction is performed at a constant speed

Which of the following describes the season when conditioning is dedicated to unstructured, recreational activities?

Cardiorespiratory endurance-the body's ability to transport and use oxygen efficiently is essential to minimize fatigue

passively stretching a muscle by placing it in a max stretch/resistance, and holding it for an extended time

Hold-relax is an example of a static stretching technique.

A dynamic warm-up that is usually used to prepare for physical activity can be done in ________.

Which of the following statements is true of ballistic stretching

Hops, bounds, and depth jumps are forms of ________.

muscle contraction in which the length of the muscle remains constant while tension develops toward a maximum force

engaging in proper and efficient resistance training, eating a proper diet, and getting rest can minimize overtraining

What is the primary reason for the difference in strength between males and females?

When performing a knee extension exercise, the hamstring group acts as the agonist muscle.

Continuous training has four considerations: type, frequency, duration, intensity of physical activities.

during a curl, the biceps muscle in the upper arm is shortening as it contracts, which is an eccentric contraction.

A eccentric contraction can generate more force than a concentric contraction

Stretching does not necessarily improve performance, nor does it help to prevent injury.

soccer player running 10 120-yard sprints in under 20 s each, with a 1-min walking recovery period between each sprint

intensity of an activity is low enough that the cardiovascular system can supply enough oxygen to continue the activity

Which of the following training techniques consists of alt periods of relatively intense work and active recovery?

closed-chain strengthening is a widely used because these exercises are more functional-most sports are weight-bearing

Which of the following statements is true of isokinetic exercises?

an approach to conditioning to reach peak performance, reduce injuries and overtraining, with a seasonal program

Dynamic stretching is unlikely to cause soreness and is commonly used in injury rehab of sore or strained muscles.

SAID principle states when the body is subjected to stresses + overloads of varying intensities, it will gradually adapt

trigger point -area of tenderness in a tight band of muscle, most often develop because of mechanical stress to a muscle

Muscular strength is proport to the size of a muscle as determined by the cross-sectional diameter of the muscle fibers.

A bicep curl using a dumbbell is an example of a(n) ________.

Which of the following terms is defined as the ability to generate force rapidly?

Which of the following stretching techniques is generally used for increasing flexibility?

Which of the following is true of bodyweight training?

Muscular endurance-ability to perform repetitive muscular contractions against some resistance for an extended time

Currently, muscles are classified into two basic types: slow-twitch powerful fibers and fast-twitch endurance fibers.
