- What does the FITT acronym stand for in exercise prescription?
- Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
- What is the overload principle in exercise training?
- A tissue must be stressed beyond its accustomed load to produce a training adaptation
- What does the SAID principle stand for?
- Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands
- What is the principle of specificity in exercise training?
- 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)?
- Training gains are lost when a training stimulus is stopped or reduced
- When does delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) typically peak?
- 24 to 72 hours after exercise
- What is an isometric contraction?
- A muscle contraction that produces force without a change in muscle length or joint movement
- What is an isotonic contraction?
- A muscle contraction that produces movement against a constant external load
- What is an isokinetic contraction?
- A muscle contraction performed at a constant angular velocity using specialized equipment
- What is a concentric contraction?
- A muscle contraction in which the muscle shortens while producing force
- What is an eccentric contraction?
- A muscle contraction in which the muscle lengthens while producing force
- What characterizes an open kinetic chain exercise?
- 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?
- The distal segment is fixed against a surface while the proximal segment moves
- What is the Karvonen formula used to calculate?
- Target heart rate using heart rate reserve
- What is the standard formula for estimating age-predicted maximum heart rate?
- 220 minus age
