| Chest discomfort, musculoskeletal pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, malaise are all __. | conditions that warrant a call to a physician |
| Research indicates that previously untrained men & women gain about __ pounds of muscle and __% more strength after two months of regular strength exercise. | 2-4, 40-60 |
| The gradual loss of muscle tissue in non-training adults leads to a __% reduction in metabolic rate every decade of life. | 5 |
| __ states that most of the performance improvement during the initial weeks of strength training is due to more efficient motor unit utilization. | motor learning effect |
| The rate of strength gain appears to be greater during the normal years of development: ages __. | 10-20 |
| To spot during a __, the trainer should stand behind the client ready to help him/her to a standing position (arms around upper torso). | squatting exercise |
| To spot during a __, the trainer should stand behind the bench ready to grasp the barbell and help lift it back to the standards when needed. | bench or incline press |
| Potential effects of __ use include increased blood pressure, decreased levels of HDL, liver enzyme leakage, liver cancer, uterus shrinkage, uncontrolled mood swings, depression, breast shrinkage, testicle atrophy, sterility, and aggression. | anabolic steroid |
| __ creates a higher risk of injury and therefore should only be attempted when carefully controlled and supervised by a competent personal trainer. | Negative training |
| The most important aspect of __ is maximizing the rate of improvement and minimizing the risk of injury. | training motivation |
| A good __ should be well planned and time efficient, results-oriented, functional and usable in relation to your clients’ personal lifestyles, directed toward health and personal wellness | resistance training program |
| Resistance training should be done at least __ days per week for a minimum of one set of __ repetitions that are executed to fatigue. Each session should include __ exercises that challenge the major muscle groups. | 2, 8-12, 8-10 |
| Though more frequent training and more sets (or | strength gains, 2, 3 |
| What are the two ways in which varying the intensity of muscle contraction, or force gradation, occurs? | Varying the intensity of muscle contraction, or |
| To recruit fast-twitch fibers and achieve a training effect, the exercise must be __ in intensity. | higher |
| Consistent application of force, more total muscle tension/force produced, more muscle fiber activation (ST & FT), less tissue trauma and reduced risk of injury are benefits of __. | controlling the speed of movement during a repetition |
| The complete rebuilding of the ATP-CP energy system, which is depleted predominantly through short bursts of maximal effort, takes about __ minutes. | 3-5 |
| Boredom, lack of motivation, lack of results, desire for change in muscle strength/hypertrophy/muscle endurance, and a change of training environment are all valid reasons for __. | changing a resistance training program |
| Manipulating frequency, intensity, and volume both up and | break a plateau |
