  1. Which acute variable refers to the number of repetitions performed for a given exercise?

    Answer: Reps

    Reps (repetitions) describe the number of times an exercise is repeated in a set.

  2. In Phase 1 Stabilization Endurance, the recommended repetition range is typically:

    Answer: 12-20 reps

    Stabilization Endurance uses higher reps, generally 12-20, to build endurance and stability.

  3. What tempo is recommended for stabilization training in Phase 1?

    Answer: Slow (4/2/1)

    A slow, controlled tempo (4/2/1) enhances stability and time under tension.

  4. Maximal Strength (Phase 4) typically uses which intensity range?

    Answer: 85-100% 1RM

    Maximal Strength training uses very high loads of 85-100% of 1RM.

  5. Which acute variable describes the amount of time spent recovering between sets?

    Answer: Rest interval

    The rest interval is the recovery time taken between sets or exercises.

  6. Longer rest intervals (3-5 minutes) are most appropriate for which training phase?

    Answer: Phase 4: Maximal Strength

    Maximal Strength requires long rest (3-5 minutes) for full ATP-PC recovery between heavy sets.

  7. Phase 3 Muscular Development (hypertrophy) generally targets which rep range?

    Answer: 6-12 reps

    Hypertrophy training typically uses 6-12 reps to maximize muscle growth.
