KIN 258 Exam 1 Questions and Answers
1.5 mile run test ✔✔one of the simplest and most accurate assessments of
cardiorespiratory fitness
adaptations ✔✔semi-permanent changes that occur over time with regular
exercise
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ✔✔a high-energy compound that is synthesized and
stored in small quantities in muscle and other cells
aerobic ✔✔with oxygen; in cells, pertains to biochemical pathways that use
oxygen to produce energy
aerobic exercise ✔✔a common term to describe all forms of exercise that
primarily use the aerobic energy system and that are designed to improve
cadiorespiratory fitness
anaerobic ✔✔without oxygen; in cells, pertains to biochemical pathways that do
not require oxygen to produce energy
arterial vasoconstriction ✔✔the narrowing of blood vessels; decrease blood flow
, arterial vasodilation ✔✔the widening of blood vessels; increased blood flow
arteries ✔✔the blood vessels that carry blood away form the heart
ATP ✔✔energy source of the cell
blood pressure ✔✔force of blood against the inner walls of blood vessels
body composition ✔✔the relative amounts of fat and fat free tissue found in the
body
Borg RPE scale ✔✔a subjective way of estimating exercise intensity based on a
numerical scale of 6 to 20
capillaries ✔✔thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of gases (oxygen and
carbon dioxide) and nutrients between the blood and tissues
cardiac output ✔✔the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute
cardiorespiratory endurance ✔✔a measure of the heart's ability to pump oxygen-
rich blood to the working muscles during exercise and of the muscles' ability to
take up and use the oxygen
