Principles
True or False: Workouts can be designed by understanding primary movements
True
The muscle on the front side of the upper arm
Bicep
Name the outcome: training for maximal force output of a muscle
Strength
Define Rep
Performing the exercise one time
Name the contraction: holding a plank
Isometric
True or False: The Principle of Overload states that we need to increase the challenge to continue improving.
True
The muscle on the front side of the upper thigh
Quadriceps
Name the outcome: the ability for a muscle to contract for a repeated amount of time
Muscular Endurance
Define Range of Motion
Completing an exercise through the full movement
What is the fundamental reason for understanding contractions?
So we know when to breathe!
Meredith has been gradually increasing the difficulty of her workouts to ensure that she stays safe. What principle is she following?
The Principle of Progression
The largest muscle on the back
Latissimus Dorsi
Name the outcome: training to increase the rate at which the muscle produces force
Power
Define Sets
A group of reps
Name the contraction: when the muscle shortens and moves AGAINST gravity
Concentric

The Principle of Specificity
The muscle on the back of the thigh
Hamstring
Name the training outcome: training to increase the size and definition of the muscle
Hypertrophy
Define Rest
The time between sets that allow the muscle to relax and not fatigue
Name the contraction: lowering the weight toward the ground during the back squat
Eccentric
Jake only focuses on upper body movements. What principle is he failing to follow?
