20 questions
Question 1: Coaches are primarily interested in statistical inference for generalizing beyond their sample or single individual.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that coaches are not really interested in statistical inference (generalizing beyond their sample, or even single individual). Instead, they are interested in finding patterns in individual data to inform future experimentations.
Question 2: According to the study materials, what is the main reason for pre-registering studies with exact methods of analysis?
A. To establish objective functioning of the world through statistical models.
B. To address the issue of overfitting when selecting models in an exploratory approach.
C. To ensure that all models are considered subjective and equally useful.
D. To allow for statistical inference and generalization beyond the individual subject.
Explanation: The study materials state that 'people smarter than me suggested pre-registering studies with the exact methods of analysis' to 'deal with this exploratory approach, particularly with its tendency for p-harking (or overfitting by selecting the model that performs the best on the seen data).' Therefore, the main reason is to avoid overfitting.
Question 3: The provided materials state that using the fatigue percentage with the rep drop method only requires adjusting the weight on the bar for the planned fatigue percentage and continuing sets until the initial RIR is met.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials explain that using Fatigue Percentage with the load drop method involves dropping the initial set weight for the planned percentage. However, for the rep drop method, it states, "How do we know how many reps needs to be dropped for a planned Fatigue Percentage?" and provides an equation and tables (Table 6.5, 6.6) for calculating this, indicating it's not simply about adjusting weight but reps using a specific calculation.
Question 4: According to the study materials, what is the primary goal of individualization when attempting to create an 'equal playing field' in training?
A. To ensure everyone lifts the same absolute weight for a given number of repetitions.
B. To make sure every athlete experiences a similar level of perceived exertion or trains at a similar individual potential.
C. To achieve identical physiological responses in every athlete after a workout.
D. To allow athletes to always train to failure to maximize individual stimulus.
Explanation: The study materials state that individualization, in the ideological sense of creating an 'equal playing field,' aims to ensure 'everyone is training at similar individual potential.' Methods like using percentages of 1RM or RIR (Ratings of Perceived Exertion) are employed to equalize relative intensity or subjective feeling, thus trying to ensure athletes train at similar individual potential or perceived exertion. The material explicitly challenges the idea that this will lead to identical physiological responses or that training to failure is the only way.
Question 5: It is possible to integrate a PR attempt into a training plan by performing a Joker set after the originally planned sets.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that one can 'do Joker pre-set or Joker after sets. E.g., go for a PR after you do things as planned,' indicating that a PR attempt can be integrated in this manner.
