Step 5 focuses on improving repetitive sprint ability (RSA) to allow athletes to complete sport-specific repetitive sprints with little or no slowing from one sprint to another, and, to lesser degree, on improving the length of time maximum speed can be maintained by reducing the amount of "slowing" at the end of the rare long sprint of 50 meters or more that occasionally occurs in team sports. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ True Research indicates that following a general warm-up session, the most effective flexibility program to prepare athletes for a strenuous workout or competition is through use of - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Dynamic stretching exercises The key manner in which weight loss, in the form of body fat, helps sprint performance is that - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The ratio of GFR/body weight is favorably altered Approximately how many minutes of general warm-up are recommended under the general warmp up guidelines? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 15- Which of the following is the most effective approach to warm-up for team sports? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ General warm-up followed by sports specific dynamic stretching exercises Which of the following stretching exercises are considered unsafe?

Straight leg toe touches - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ I and II The type of stretching that involves active movements common to a sport or activity such as jogging in place with high knee lifts and butt kickers for sprinters is referred to as ___ stretching. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ dynamic The relaxation of the antagonist muscles in response to an agonist muscle is known as - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Reciprocal inhibition Which of the following statements about stride length is incorrect? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Stride length training should involve over- striding to get used to a long stride. Which of the following best describes the posture of a sprinter during the maximum speed phase? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ There is little to no forward lean of any kind The four muscle groups, or prime movers associated with fast sprinting are the quadriceps, plantar flexors, dorsi flexors and - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Hamstrings The most common flaw in executing a 3-point or 4-point start by football players is - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Pushing off the front foot only rather than off both feet

What factors should be considered when determining which foot should be placed in the forward position during a 3-point or 4-point starting stance? I. The left leg forward involves the left hemisphere of the brain and will allow the rear left leg to come forward faster during the first step. II. The strongest leg should be forward since it is in contact with the ground longer. III. Which ever leg feels comfortable should be forward. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ I, II and III Which of the following statements about proper arm movement in sprinting are correct. I. Athletes should maintain a 90 degree angle between the upper and lower arm at all times. II. During the downswing, a natural straightening of the elbows occurs and a 90 degree angle is not maintained. III. Elbows stay close to the body with the arms, shoulders and hands relaxed. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ II and III During the early acceleration or drive phase of sprinting, power comes from a pushing action off the - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Balls of the feet During the drive phase (first 0-10 meters) of a short sprint, proper body lean involves - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Body lean in a straight line from the ankle through the head Which of the following statements concerning the "support phase" of sprinting are correct? I. Ground contact is made on the outside edge of the ball of the foot. II. This phase begins with a slight load on the support foot that rides onto the full sole. III. The faster the speed, the higher the contact point on the ball of the foot. IV. The heel makes a

brief but definite contact with the ground. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ I, II, III, IV Which of the following statements about front and backside sprinting mechanics is correct? I. The sooner a sprinter can shift ground contact efforts to the front of the body, the more successful the performance. II. Backside mechanics dominate the start (first two steps) of a short sprint III. The transition from front side to backside mechanics occurs during the first 5 meters. IV. Front side mechanics requires the foot to land slightly ahead of the center of gravity. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ I, II, III, IV A 200-lb athlete must exercise a minimum force of 200 pounds against the ground (GRF) to stand. How much force is required by each leg to perform the act of walking? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 300 Studies indicate that elite male sprinters and other athletes can exert a force as high as ___ pounds or more against the ground or blocks in initiating the first two steps of a short sprint. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 800 Which of the following statements about the percent of available ground contact force that can be applied is correct?
