Physical training

What is cardiovascular endurance?

• •Ability to combine maximum strength and speed to produce explosive power output
• ✓ability to exercise for long periods without fatigue
• •Ability to move a joint through its full range of motion under loaded conditions
• •Ability to produce maximum force in a single all-out muscular contraction

What does the second T in FITT stand for?

• •technique (of movement)
• •tempo (of exercise)
• •threshold (of effort)
• ✓type (of training)

What is continuous training?

• •Exercise at maximum intensity for very short periods with full recovery
• •Exercise performed in short repeated bursts with rest between each burst
• •Exercise that alternates between different muscle groups in sequence
• ✓Sustained aerobic exercise at a steady pace for a prolonged period without

What is muscular endurance?

• ✓ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly without fatigue
• •Ability to generate the highest possible force in one maximal contraction
• •Ability to move a joint through its complete range without restriction or pain
• •Ability to sustain speed and produce explosive bursts repeatedly throughout

How quickly does cardiovascular fitness decline without training?

• •approximately 1 week
• •approximately 2–3 days
• •approximately 2–3 months
• ✓approximately 2–3 weeks

Which type of athlete would benefit most from continuous training?
