✔✔people take this verse out of context for athletics, but it really means that we should endure
anything for the sake of the Gospel

and death, as well as after the resurrection of the body throughout eternity
Christians should be characterized by self-________. - ✔✔self-control

can't find it

the talents in Matthew 13:14-30 describes which of these concepts? - ✔✔never found this
answer
What is sanctification? How is it lived out in regard to physical wellness? - ✔✔sanctification
necessarily incorporates what we do with our bodies (e.g., physical acts of
worship, the ordinances of the church, self-control, service). we should take care of the bodies
that God blessed us with
What are the physiological adaptations associated with chronic endurance training? - ✔✔V02
max, oxygen carrying capacity, mitochondrial and capillary density, maximal cardiac output and
stroke volume, resting stroke volume...
Explain the 3 basic energy systems used to replenish levels of ATP - ✔✔phosphagen, glycolytic,
and oxidative
Lactate vs. lactic acid - ✔✔substance created when glucose is broken down for physical activity
(high energy demand) vs. less intense exercises
Which system produces the most ATP? - ✔✔aerobic system
Which type of exercise is used to train each system? - ✔✔phosphagen: short distance sprints
glycolytic: mid-distance sprints, shuttle runs
oxidative: long-distance sprints, pace-tempo training, long slow distance runs
Explain each factor related to endurance performance: VO2max
Lactate threshold
Exercise economy
Muscle fiber type
Compare VO2max to lactate threshold as a predictor of performance
Which type of muscle fibers tend to perform better at longer endurance events? At sprints? -
✔✔V02 max: max amount of oxygen a body can take in and utilize during one minute (strong
correlation with running performance)
Exercise economy: amount of energy required to maintain a consistent pace
muscle fiber type:
V02 max indicates how long you can run, and lactate threshold gets higher with the number of
miles and duration
slow-twitch perform better at longer endurance events, fast-twitch for sprints
Explain the types of endurance training listed below, including exercise intensity, duration,
frequency, and work/rest ratio: - ✔✔exercise intensity: how intense the exercise is
duration: how long
frequency: how often
work/rest ratio: number of sets and reps versus how long the rest is
Which type of training combines elements of other types listed in this chart? - ✔✔chart ?
Define the 3 measures of intensity for endurance training. - ✔✔talk test, intensity scale, max
heart rate
Explain the 3 guidelines for selecting shoes. - ✔✔where you plan on running, desired level of
cushioning, desired level of support
Which category of support is appropriate for each pattern of pronation? - ✔✔neutral shoes for
supinate, stability shoes for mild to moderate overpronation, motion control for moderate to
severe overpronation
List the 5 tips for selecting the right running shoe. - ✔✔try on shoes at the end of the day, try on
both shoes, allow for a thumbnail's length of space in the toe box, bring insoles or running socks,
and make sure the shoes are comfortable right out of the box
List the physiological adaptations associated with chronic strength training - ✔✔higher VO2
max, higher oxygen carrying capacity,
Define tempo, progressive overload, specificity, and accommodation. - ✔✔tempo: pace or
rhythm in which a movement is performed
progressive overload: periodic increases of training variables in order to increase progress over
time
specificity: training should be relevant to activity to produce desired effect
accommodation: body's response to constant stimulus decreases over time
Define agonist, antagonist, and stabilizer muscles and give an example of how they work
together in a lift. - ✔✔agonist: contrasting muscle
antagonist: opposing the contrasting muscle (opposite)
Define these types of contractions: concentric, eccentric, isometric, isotonic - ✔✔concentric:
increases tension as it shortens
eccentric: increases tension as it lengthens
isometric: joint ankle and muscle length do not change
isotonic: against resistance, length of muscle changes
Define compound lifts and list the basic 5 compound lifts. - ✔✔movement that includes one or
more major muscle groups (bench, row, press, squat, dead lift)
According to Simmons, general physical preparation should account for __________% of
training. - ✔✔80%
Between the ages of 30 and 65, the average American loses ____ lb of ________ and gains
______lb of_______________. - ✔✔couldn't find the answer
At what age does bone density peak? - ✔✔25
Can fiber type transition of muscle fibers occur with chronic strength training? Explain. - ✔✔No,
they do not change type regardless of training
Henneman's size principle states that _______________________________. - ✔✔under load,
muscle fibers are recruited from smallest to largest
Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is characterized by _________________________. - ✔✔growth of
sarcoplasm and noncontractile proteins
Myofibrillar hypertrophy is characterized by ___________________________. - ✔✔growth of
myofibrils and actin and myosin filaments

about 6
List the training considerations for advanced lifters. - ✔✔idk
Define mobility, flexibility, stability, and balance. - ✔✔mobility: ability of a joint to move
unhindered
flexibility: ability of a muscle to move unhindered
balance: control body's position while stationary
Explain the 8 factors which influence mobility and flexibility. - ✔✔neutral control, joint
structure, connective tissue, gender, age, activity level, strength training with limited range of
motion, extreme muscle hypertrophy
What are the functions of the Golgi tendon organ and muscle spindles? - ✔✔relaxation and
lengthening
List and explain the 4 types of stretching. Which type is best performed before an exercise
session? Which one after a session? Which one is not generally recommended and why? -
✔✔static (after), ballistic (fast, not generally recommended), dynamic (simple, before), PNF
(with a partner
Explain the 3 basic phases of prehab. - ✔✔soft tissue work, dynamic stretching (before),
movement specific activation
What are the ACSM guidelines for frequency, intensity, duration, and repetitions for static
stretching? - ✔✔3 or more days a week, mild discomfort, 10-30 seconds, 3-5 times a stretch
Define tonic and phasic muscles, give examples of each type, and explain Page's
recommendations. (p. 155) - ✔✔tonic: flexers (hamstrings, abductors, tighten with age)
phasic: extensors (quads, glutes, weaken with age
don't bounce, don't stretch if it is very painful/injury
