KNH 188 UPDATED STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔If exercise is prescribed appropriately, do the benefits outweigh the risk of harm in
chronic diseased individuals? - ✔✔Yes. Controlled stress allows for positive adaptation
✔✔Flexors ---------- the joint angle and extensors ---------- the joint angle. - ✔✔decrease,
increase
✔✔Muscular ------- is assessed by 1-rep max, and muscular --------- is the ability of a
muscle's ability to perform repeated submaximal contractions for a given load. -
✔✔strength, endurance
✔✔How many reps are recommended for specifically increasing muscular strength?
Enter a number within the recommended range. - ✔✔between 1 and 12
✔✔How many reps are recommended for specifically increasing muscular endurance?
Enter a number within the recommended range. - ✔✔15-30
✔✔Following an acute stretching exercise, an individual experiences temporary elastic
properties in their muscles called elastic elongation. - ✔✔true
✔✔Another synonymous term for cardiorespiratory fitness is: (select all that apply) -
✔✔VO2max, aerobic capacity, cardiopulmonary fitness, aerobic power,anaerobic
power, cerebro pulmonary fitness
✔✔Evidence exists for an inverse, dose-response relationship between physical activity
and all-cause mortality. - ✔✔true
✔✔O2 consumption (VO2) and energy expenditure (Kcal) are directly related. - ✔✔true
✔✔Resting energy expenditure while sitting at rest is equal to about 1 MET. - ✔✔true
✔✔What term refers to acquiring a specific dose of physical activity or exercise, or
achieving a physical activity or exercise goal, by performing several shorter bouts and
adding them up (e.g., three bouts lasting 10 minutes each to achieve 30 minutes of daily
physical activity)? - ✔✔accumulation
✔✔Which type of activity requires the use of nonoxidative energy systems (energy-
producing reactions in the body that do not require oxygen), which allow one to work
more effectively at high intensities for short durations? - ✔✔anaerobic
, ✔✔Important approaches for helping people achieve energy balance are (select all that
apply) - ✔✔target total energy intake, promote an intervention in physical activity,
exercise, diet, or a combination of all, alance non-active and active leisure time, engage
in physical activity and exercise for health benefits besides the prevention/treatment of
overweight and obesity
✔✔The commercially available Bod Pod is a popular and current (yet expensive)
method of measuring body composition by using water displacement or hydrostatic
weighing (i.e., body mass under the water compared to body mass in air). - ✔✔false
✔✔Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) can be estimated without being assessed in a lab
and without doing maximal testing. - ✔✔true
✔✔Pedometers are less expensive, but only measure steps. Accelerometers measure
physical activity more accurately because they measure steps and overall movement. -
✔✔true
✔✔How do we, as exercise/health professionals, quantify the volume of physical
activity/exercise? - ✔✔kcal expenditure, MET-minute, VO2 reserve and or HR reserve
✔✔The science of objectively monitoring physical activity with step counting or
accelerometry is now considered to be the methods of choice to best assess daily levels
of physical activity with the best cost. - ✔✔true
✔✔Physical activity/exercise interventions alone are as effective in weight loss and
weight maintenance as physical activity/exercise with diet interventions. - ✔✔false
✔✔From an clinical perspective, BMI is not the best gauge of an individual's level of
overweight and/or obesity and the health concerns thereof. - ✔✔true
✔✔Which of the following descriptions best defines the term exercise? - ✔✔physical
activity that is planned and repeated for a specific purpose
✔✔Total caloric expenditure is not influenced by the volume (i.e., intensity, duration) of
training (physical activity or exercise) that one accumulates over time. - ✔✔false
✔✔To lose 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat, theoretically, you would need to restrict or maintain
energy intake while expending more kilocalories in physical activity and exercise, to the
equivalent of _____ kilocalories. - ✔✔3,500
✔✔The environment in which an individual resides has little influence on his or her
caloric intake. - ✔✔false
