- What does the FITT acronym stand for in exercise prescription?
Show answer
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type- What is the overload principle in exercise training?
Show answer
A tissue must be stressed beyond its accustomed load to produce a training adaptation- What does the SAID principle stand for?
Show answer
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands- What is the principle of specificity in exercise training?
Show answer
Training adaptations are specific to the type of stress imposed, such as the energy system, muscle group, or movement pattern used- What is the reversibility principle (detraining)?
Show answer
Training gains are lost when a training stimulus is stopped or reduced- When does delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) typically peak?
Show answer
24 to 72 hours after exercise- What is an isometric contraction?
Show answer
A muscle contraction that produces force without a change in muscle length or joint movement- What is an isotonic contraction?
Show answer
A muscle contraction that produces movement against a constant external load- What is an isokinetic contraction?
Show answer
A muscle contraction performed at a constant angular velocity using specialized equipment- What is a concentric contraction?
Show answer
A muscle contraction in which the muscle shortens while producing force- What is an eccentric contraction?
Show answer
A muscle contraction in which the muscle lengthens while producing force- What characterizes an open kinetic chain exercise?
Show answer
The distal segment, such as the hand or foot, is free to move and is not fixed to a surface- What characterizes a closed kinetic chain exercise?
Show answer
The distal segment is fixed against a surface while the proximal segment moves- What is the Karvonen formula used to calculate?
Show answer
Target heart rate using heart rate reserve- What is the standard formula for estimating age-predicted maximum heart rate?
Show answer
220 minus age
