CONDITIONING 2026 PRACTICE TEST PACK
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED INSIGHTS
◉ Glycolysis is inhibited by.
Answer: markedly lower pH, ATP, CP, citrate, and free fatty acids
◉ lactate threshold.
Answer: The exercise intensity or relative intensity at which blood
lactate begins an abrupt increase above the baseline concentration.
◉ lactate threshold begins at.
Answer: 50-60% of maximal oxygen uptake in untrained individuals
70-80% in aerobically trained athletes
◉ Onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA).
Answer: a second increase in the rate of lactate accumulation,
occurring at higher relative intensities of exercise when the
concentration of blood lactate reaches 4 mmol/L
◉ The oxidative (aerobic) system.
,Answer: Primary source of ATP at rest and during low-intensity
activities
Uses primarily carbohydrates and fats as substrates
largest energy yield
◉ fat oxidation.
Answer: Triglycerides stored in fat cells can be broken down by
hormone-sensitive lipase. This releases free fatty acids from the fat
cells into the blood, where they can circulate and enter muscle
fibers.
◉ protein oxidation.
Answer: Protein is not a significant source of energy for most
activities.
Protein is broken down into amino acids, and the amino acids are
converted into glucose, pyruvate, or various Krebs cycle
intermediates to produce ATP.
◉ There is a(n) ________________ relationship between a given energy
system's maximum rate of ATP production and the total amount of
ATP capable of producing over time..
Answer: inverse
,◉ The extent to which each of the three energy systems contributes
to ATP production depends primarily on the _______________ of the
muscular activity and secondarily on the _______________..
Answer: intensity, duration
◉ T/F
At no time, during either exercise or rest, does any single energy
system provide the complete supply of energy.
Answer: True
◉ Fatigue during exercise appears to be at least partially related to
the decrease in _______________.
Answer: phosphagens
◉ ______________ _______________ can decrease markedly (50-70%)
during the first "stage" or 5-30 seconds of high-intensity exercise
and can be almost eliminated as a result of very intense exercise to
exhaustion..
Answer: Creatine phosphate
◉ Complete resynthesis of ATP appears to occur within _____
minutes and complete creatine phosphate resynthesis can occur
within ___ minutes.
, Answer: 3-5 minutes, 8 minutes
◉ As relative intensities of exercise above _______ of maximal oxygen
uptake, muscle glycogen becomes and increasingly important energy
substrate..
Answer: 60%
◉ EPOC.
Answer: (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) oxygen uptake
above resting values used to restore the body to pre exercise
condition
aka: post-exercise oxygen uptake, oxygen uptake, oxygen debt, or
recovery O2
◉ VO2.
Answer: oxygen consumption
◉ interval training.
Answer: emphasizes bioenergetic adaptations for a more efficient
energy transfer within the metabolic pathways by using
predetermined intervals of exercise and rest periods
◉ puberty.
