SBC Exercise Programming and Periodization 2

Question 1

Superset training on the stability ball pairs which types of exercises for efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Two exercises for opposing or complementary muscle groups performed consecutively

Answer

Supersets pair agonist-antagonist or complementary exercises back-to-back, increasing workout density while maintaining quality on the stability ball.

Question 2

Rest periods of 0–90 seconds are most appropriate for which stability ball training goal?

Accepted Answer

Stabilization endurance

Answer

Short rest periods of 0–90 seconds maintain metabolic and neuromuscular fatigue appropriate for building stabilization endurance on the stability ball.

Question 3

Which FITT principle variable is most unique to stability ball training compared to traditional resistance training?

Accepted Answer

Type (mode)

Answer

The type or mode of training is what distinguishes stability ball programming — the unstable surface adds a neuromuscular challenge absent in standard resistance training.

Question 4

How often per week is a stability ball stabilization endurance program typically recommended for beginners?

Accepted Answer

2–3 days per week

Answer

2–3 sessions per week allows adequate stimulus for neuromuscular adaptation while providing recovery time between stability ball training sessions.

Question 5

Which workout structure is safest for introducing stability ball exercises to a deconditioned client?

Accepted Answer

Full-body stabilization program with light loads and controlled tempo

Answer

A full-body stabilization program with light loads and slow, controlled tempo allows deconditioned clients to learn proper mechanics and build neuromuscular control safely.
