Exercise and Training Principles Quiz

Exercise and Training Principles

• Exercise and training are distinct. (False)
• Specificity: Body's response to exercise is specific. (True)
• Dynamic stretching is NOT part of the cool-down. (False)
• Cardio involves oxygen delivery to muscles. (True)
• Anaerobic exercise is NOT continuous and uses oxygen. (False)
• HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training): Short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by recovery. (True)
• Functional exercises mimic daily movements (e.g., bending, lifting). (True)
• Resistance training builds strength and endurance. (True)
• Isometric exercises DO NOT involve changing muscle length. (False)
• Reversibility: Fitness improvements are NOT permanent. (False)
• Training has long-term goals for specific results. (True)
• Jogging does NOT significantly improve muscular strength. (False)
• Pre-workout nutrition is recommended. (True)
• Stretching before a workout is NOT preventative. (False)
• Muscle growth (hypertrophy) needs longer rest intervals. (False)
• Choosing a convenient gym location is advisable. (True)
• Static stretching is NOT part of the warm-up. (False)
• Cardiovascular exercise = Cardio. (True)
• Anaerobic exercise: Quick, high-intensity activities without oxygen. (True)

Cardiovascular Exercise

• Cardio improves blood pressure control. (True)
• Walking is NOT an advanced cardio exercise. (False)
• HIIT improves cardiorespiratory fitness. (True)
• Circuit training involves exercises with minimal rest. (True)
• Zumba is a dance cardio exercise. (True)
• Functional exercises do not isolate specific body parts. (False)

Core Stabilization and Plyometrics

• Core stabilization strengthens torso muscles for spinal support.(True)
• Plyometric exercises are jump training. (True)
• Isometric exercises involve contracting muscles in one position. (True)
• Unilateral exercises train single limbs. (False - This implies both sides, not equally).
• Resistance training can improve joint stability. (True)

Training Principles

• Training principles vary by individual. (False)
• Overload: Body must be stressed beyond normal. (True)
• Progression: Gradually increase training loads. (True)
• Adaptation: Body adapts to exercise stress. (True)
• Specificity: Body adapts to specific training types. (True)
• Reversibility: Fitness gains are lost with inactivity. (True)

Resistance Training

• Resistance training for weight loss and increased metabolism. (True)
• Resistance training DECREASES bone density. (False)
• Resistance training improves mental health (e.g., reduces anxiety). (True)
• Resistance training builds muscle mass. (True)
• Resistance training helps reduce sports injuries. (True)
• Isotonic exercises: Muscle tension with length change. (True)
• Isometric exercises: Muscle contraction without length change. (True)
• Isokinetic exercises: Constant speed muscle contractions. (True)
• Squats and push-ups ARE resistance exercises. (True)
• Proper form is crucial in resistance training. (True)
• Gradually increased intensity is recommended. (True)
• Balanced training for all muscle groups is necessary. (True)

Stretching and Warm-up

• Dynamic stretching improves speed, agility, acceleration. (True)
• Static stretching improves flexibility and is part of the cool-down. (True)
