Flexibility training improves the range of movement of the antagonistic muscles.The range of a joint movement is limited by how far the muscles on the opposite side, the antagonists, can lengthen. When the quadriceps straighten the knee and flex the hip, for example, the hamstrings must stretch; stretching exercises lengthen these antagonists so that the agonists can move the joint further.The agonists are the muscles producing the movement, not the ones limiting it. 'Bulky muscles' is not a functional category, and 'protagonist' is not an anatomical term.

Q: In training, load is not always given for improvement but also for........... of performance capacity.

Load is also given for the maintenance and stabilization of performance capacity.Not every training load is meant to raise performance. In the competition period and the transition period, loads are set to maintain the level already reached and to stabilise skills and fitness, so that the athlete keeps peak form without overloading.Conditioning, development and progress all describe improving performance, which is exactly what the question says load is not always for.

Q: Causes of over-training.................(I) Recovery is neglected(II) Inappropriate increase in frequency of training(III) Excess of competitions(IV) Excessive bias of training methods and units

All four are causes of over-training, so the answer is (I), (II), (III) and (IV).Over-training results when load outstrips the body's capacity to recover. It is caused by neglecting recovery (I), increasing the frequency of training too quickly (II), too many competitions, which are maximal loads with little time to recover (III), and an excessive bias towards particular training methods and units, which overloads the same systems repeatedly (IV).The options that leave out any of these are incomplete.

Q: ........................is an athlete's ability to choose and perform the right technics, at right time, successfully regularly with minimum of effort.

The ability described is skill.In sports training, skill is the ability to choose and perform the right technique at the right time, successfully and consistently, with the least expenditure of energy and effort. It combines technique with judgement of when and how to use it.The other options describe different things. Load is the training stimulus, style is an individual's personal way of performing a technique, and judgement is only the decision-making part of skill, without the successful execution.

Q: The actual variables in interval method of training are ..................

The variables of interval training are distance, time, reps and recovery period.Interval training alternates bouts of work with periods of recovery. The coach controls it through the distance (or duration) of each work bout, the time or speed at which it is covered, the number of repetitions (and sets), and the length and type of the recovery interval. For example, 6 × 400 m in 75 s with 2 minutes of jogging recovery.Preparatory, competition and transition are the periods of a training year (periodisation), not interval variables. Options C and D mix interval terms with unrelated ones.

Q: A reduction in training intensity and volume to facilitate a peak performance is .........................

It is the taper.A taper is a planned reduction in training load, usually in volume while intensity is kept up, over the last one to three weeks before an important competition. It lets the body recover from accumulated fatigue while keeping the training adaptations, so that performance peaks on the day.Recovery and rest are general terms for the time between sessions or after competition, not a pre-competition reduction for peaking, and 'training' is the load itself.

Q: A ................... comprises of a number of training sessions that can span from 7 to 10 days :

It is a training schedule (micro-cycle).In periodisation, the training unit is a single session. Several units make a micro-cycle, usually lasting a week, or 7 to 10 days. Several micro-cycles make a meso-cycle of a few weeks, and these make the macro-cycle, a whole season or year.A training unit is too short, a single session. A macro-cycle is far too long. 'Training plan' is a general term rather than a cycle of a fixed length.

......................form of training that is most commonly used to improve muscular strength and endurance.

A.Plyometric training
B.Core training
C.Cross training
D.Weight training

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2020, SET Exam - 2020,

Answer: D

The form of training most used for strength and endurance is weight training.

Weight (resistance) training works the muscles against external loads such as free weights, machines or the body's own weight. By changing the load and repetitions it can build maximum strength (heavy loads, few repetitions) or muscular endurance (lighter loads, many repetitions), which makes it the standard method for both.

Plyometric training develops explosive power, core training targets the trunk muscles only, and cross training combines different activities, mainly for general fitness.

........................is the relationship between load phases and recovery phases.

A.Load density
B.Load frequency
C.Load intensity
D.Load volume

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2020, SET Exam - 2020,

Answer: A

The relationship between load phases and recovery phases is load density.

The components of training load are intensity, volume, density and frequency. Density describes how closely loads follow one another, the ratio of work periods to recovery periods within a session, as in interval training where the rest between repetitions is fixed.

Intensity is how hard the work is, volume is the total amount of work, and frequency is how often training sessions take place.

Over-training results when load outstrips the body's capacity to recover.

Answer: A

The correct matching is (II) (IV) (I) (III).

THR (target heart rate) is a heart rate, given here as 130 bpm.
An aerobic event is long and continuous, such as the marathon.
An anaerobic event is short and explosive, such as the 30 m dash.
Football combines both: continuous running (aerobic) with repeated sprints (anaerobic).

Only option A gives THR a heart-rate value; the other options pair it with an activity.
