Question 6

The "logs" provide a resistance that is:

A) more dynamic than that of the kegs
B) less dynamic than that of the kegs
C) as dynamic as that of the kegs
D) nondynamic because of the fixed weights that can be attached to the end of each log

A) more dynamic than that of the kegs
B) less dynamic than that of the kegs
C) as dynamic as that of the kegs
D) too challenging for all but the most experienced lifter

Question 8

A) bench
B) squat
C) flip
D) deadlift

Question 9

Tires provide ____________ resistance.

A) static
B) dynamic
C) variable
D) standard

Question 10

Because of the dynamic resistance that the kegs and logs provide, performance of Olympic-style exercises with these implements:

A) is not recommended
B) is recommended, but only for advanced lifters
C) is recommended for all lifters
D) must be carefully spotted

Question 11

Because of the dynamic resistance that the dumbbell kegs provide, performance of Olympic-style exercises with these implements:

A) is not recommended
B) is recommended, but only for lifters who have good technique performing the Olympic-style exercises
C) is recommended for all lifters
D) must be carefully spotted

Question 12

In selecting the resistance to be used in a keg bench press, the athletes should select a weight that is:

A) of the same resistance they would use performing the same exercise with a barbell
B) lighter than the resistance they would use performing the same exercise with a barbell
C) heavier than the resistance they would use performing the same exercise with a barbell
D) it does not matter what the weight is in comparison to performing the same exercise with a barbell

Question 13

____________ are a training device that originated in Russia before the latter part of the 19th century.

A) kegs
B) logs
C) chains
D) kettlebells

Question 14

In flipping the tire, the majority of the momentum is developed in the________________; this momentum results in a powerful flipping movement of the tire.

A) arms/shoulders
B) chest
C) lower back
D) legs/hips

Question 15

Because of the large size of the kegs, it is recommended that all keg exercises be performed with a ____________ range of motion.

A) partial
B) modified
C) full
D) exaggerated

Question 16

Because of the large amount of available research, the majority of any training program must be based on theoretical concepts and tradition rather than ____________.

Question 17

A review of training programs being used in strength and conditioning facilities across the country would likely reveal strong _______________ in program design from facility to facility.

Question 18

Sandbags provide an active resistance rather than a __________ resistance.

Question 19

In performing a standing shoulder press exercise with the kegs, it is suggested that the lifter keep his or her back ___________________

Question 20

___________ provide a variable form of resistance which matches the human strength curve.

Question 21

Implement training has little real value in athletic strength training programs except as a way of increasing training variation.

Question 22

There is little research to scientifically support the use of implement training in the strength training programs of high level athletes.

Question 23

Because of the uniqueness of implement training, all types of implements and related training movements will be beneficial in improving athletic performance.

Question 24

During performance of the keg/log lateral squat, the bending knee must be allowed to move forward of the foot so that the athlete can achieve a full range-of-motion effect from the exercise.

Question 25

During performance of the keg/log one-leg squat, it is not necessary to achieve a true parallel squat position because of the extreme difficulty of the exercise.

Question 26

Explain why water as a form of resistance may provide a unique advantage in the training program of athletes.

Question 27

What does research tell us in regard to the benefits of using water as a form of resistance?

Question 28

What is the suggested primary benefit of using chains?

Question 29

Describe how the body should be positioned during execution of the kettlebell bent row.

Question 30

Discuss the potential advantages of the tire flip exercise.
