VERIFIED ANSWERS/ GRADED A+
What is supercompensation? - Correct Answer - Supercompensation is the effect whereby performance is enhanced if the body is able/allowed to adapt.
What syndrome is supercompensation related to? - Correct Answer - General adaptation syndrome
What is general adaptation syndrome? - Correct Answer - The framework of interaction between the imposed training stress, acute fatigue response, adaptation, and a new level of homeostasis/performance.
How does overtraining syndrome develop? - Correct Answer - After continued high volume, high intensity training or both when an athlete is over-reached.
Which training model is when performance of a positive fitness effect and a negative fatigue effect decay exponentially over time but at different rates?
- Correct Answer - Fitness-fatigue model
What is the dose-response relationship? - Correct Answer - relationship between the size of an administered dose and the intensity of the response produced

pg. 2 What qualifies as external load? - Correct Answer - Amount of weight lifted, distance/speed of running, its what an athlete has done.
What 2 types of blocks are in a Conjugate Sequence Model? - Correct Answer - Accumulation Blocks and Restitution Blocks
What KPI and PO model is the most evidence driven and precisely measured model that has very little to no room for random variation? - Correct Answer - Deterministic Model
What is the biggest criticism of the deterministic model? - Correct Answer - It is too rigid in requirements for sporting environments
What is the main driver of a KPI plan and model? - Correct Answer - The primary Performance Objective (PO)
What performance determinants does the Hierarchical model use? - Correct Answer - Physiological Determinants and the Health aspects
What is it called when an athlete has responded to an external load? - Correct Answer - Internal load
How is external load measured? - Correct Answer - camera systems, global positioning systems, local positioning systems, often in conjunction with other sensors such as accelerometers and power meters.
What is the principle that the energy cost of acceleration is equivalent to running at a constant speed up an "equivalent slope"? - Correct Answer - Metabolic Power
