What is Chronic Disease? 

What is an incurable illness or health condition that persists for a year or more and can result in functional limitations 

100

what is a prime mover 

what is the muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power 

100

what does OPT stand for? 

Optimum Performance Training 

100

what is stabilization endurance training 

100

during phase 1, are you using low loads/ high reps or high loads/low reps

low loads/high reps 

200

What are the TWO leading causes of death in the US 

What is cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer

200

what is muscular endurance 

what is a muscle's ability to contract for an extended period 

200

name 3 forms of training 

what is: flexibility, cardiorespiratory, core, balance, plyometric, speed agility and quickness, resistance 

200

what is the main focus of phase 1 

increasing muscular endurance and stability while developing optimal neuromuscular efficiency  

200

in phase 2, what type of training strategy is used to increase prime mover strength while maintaining stabilization endurance 

superset training 

300

What BMI range is classified as OVERWEIGHT 

What is 25-29.9
300

what is neuromuscular efficiency 

what is the ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motions 

300

name one physical performance benefit of the OPT model 

what is: strength, power, endurance, flexibility, speed, agility, balance 
300

what are phases 3 and 4 

what is: 

phase 3: hypertrophy 

phase 4: maximal strength 

300

in a phase 2 superset, what type of environment is used for the 1st exercise 

a stable environment 

400

Name TWO health conditions associated with excessive body weight 

what is: 

- CVD

-type 2 diabetes 

-high cholesterol 

-osteoarthritis 

-some cancers 

-pregnancy complications 

400

what is a superset 

what is two exercises performed back-to-back without rest between them 

400

name one physiological benefit of the OPT model 

what is: improved cardiorespiratory efficiency, decreased body fat, increased lean body mass, increased metabolic efficiency, increased tissue tensile strength, increased bone density 

400

what is the goal of phase 5 

what is to enhance neuromuscular efficiency, enhance prime mover strength, and increase rate of force production 

400

in phase 2 superset, what type of environment is used for the second exercise 

a less stable, yet controlled, environment 

500
