"Positive or negative" magnitude of change in CV% and SWC - CORRECT ANSWER: change exceeds CV% and SWC in one direction or other
"Trivial" magnitude of change in CV% and SWC - CORRECT ANSWER: change is too small to be practically important
"Unclear" magnitude of change in CV% and SWC - CORRECT ANSWER: potential for change to be simultaneously positive and negative
Biomechanical external load measures - CORRECT ANSWER: Whole body loads
(GRFs)
Accel/decel (magnitude and frequency)
Rate of accel (PlayerLoad)
Biomechanical failure examples - CORRECT ANSWER: Muscle or tendon tear
Bone fracture
Biomechanical homeostasis examples - CORRECT ANSWER: increased tendon
stiffness
Cartilage regeneration 1 / 3
Biomechanical internal load measures - CORRECT ANSWER: Joint load (joint contact forces)
Muscle load (muscle-tendon forces)
Perceived tissue damage (soreness)
Perceived effort (RPE)
Biomechanical overload examples - CORRECT ANSWER: Meniscal damage
Muscle strain
Biomechanical underload examples - CORRECT ANSWER: Decreased tendon stiffness
Cartilage degeneration
Coefficient of variation (CV%) - CORRECT ANSWER: Variability of test-retest scores Change in mean score between repeated trials
Measures reliability
dose-response effect - CORRECT ANSWER: higher volume and intensity of
training/comp = larger acute fatigue response
Ecological validity - CORRECT ANSWER: Impact of variable on training process
- / 3
External load - CORRECT ANSWER: What athlete has done (distance and speed of
running, kilograms lifted)
Fitness-fatigue model - CORRECT ANSWER: model in which performance is function of positive and negative fitness effects
both fitness and fatigue decay exponentially over time but a different rates (fatigue decays 2x the rate of fitness)
Fundamental requirement of good monitoring system - CORRECT ANSWER:
Noninvasive as possible
Goal of quantifying internal and external load of training/competition - CORRECT
ANSWER: Optimize stimulus applied to athlete
Internal load - CORRECT ANSWER: How athlete responds to given external load, both physiological and perceptual (HR, blood lactate, RPE)
Invisible monitoring - CORRECT ANSWER: Assessing fatigue through protocols that
occur within normal training and competition process
key factors for successful training system - CORRECT ANSWER: System aims
Short and long-term planning Search for continuous improvement Assessment of progress Adherence to fundamental aspects of training Program adjustments Continual manipulation of program variables on micro and macro level
