Which of the following is a characteristic of a chronic injury?

Inability to move a joint immediately

Tenderness in joints during rest

Pain that occurs when playing or exercising (correct)

Severe pain after a sudden impact

What is the primary difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance?

Muscular strength is the force you can exert, while endurance is how long you can sustain that force. (correct)

Muscular strength is about lifting heavy weights, while endurance is about lifting lighter weights many times.

Muscular strength is improved through aerobic exercise, while endurance is improved through resistance training.

Muscular strength develops muscle size, while endurance focuses solely on muscle definition.

Study Notes

Principle of Specificity

The Principle of Specificity says that to improve in a particular area of fitness, you need to do exercises that are specific to that area.
For example, if you want to improve your running speed, you need to do running exercises.
This is also known as the SAID Principle: Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands.

F.I.T.T. Principle

The F.I.T.T. Principle is a framework used to guide exercise programming.
It stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
Frequency refers to how often you exercise.

Principle of Overload

The Principle of Overload states that in order to see improvements in fitness, the body must be challenged beyond its normal level.
This can be achieved by increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise.
The body adapts to the demands placed upon it.

Benefits of Physical Activity

Engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity is linked to reduced risk of many chronic diseases, like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.

Flexibility Exercises

Flexibility exercises are specifically designed to improve range of motion, which is the ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion.
Stretching and yoga are popular examples of flexibility exercises.

Progression

Progression refers to the gradual increase in training load over time.
This is important for avoiding injury and keeping training challenging.
Progression can involve increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise.

Muscular Strength and Endurance Training

Exercises like circuit training are great examples of muscular strength and endurance training.
Circuit training involves performing a series of exercises in a circuit, with minimal rest between exercises.
This approach builds strength and endurance, challenging different muscle groups simultaneously.

Type of Exercise

Type in the F.I.T.T. Principle relates to the kind of exercise being performed.
For example, cardiovascular exercise like running, swimming, or biking, would be considered different types of exercise.
Strength training exercises, like weightlifting, would be another type of exercise.
The type of exercise selected should be relevant to your goals.
