◉ When the applied load exceeds the failure tolerance of the tissue
Answer: In general, when does injury or failure of a tissue occur?
a. Whenever a load is applied to the tissue
b. When the applied load exceeds the failure tolerance of a tissue
c. When the applied load is followed by a period of rest
d. When the failure tolerance of the tissue exceeds the applied load
◉ This person's CV fitness is low
,Answer: a 25-year old male produces a relative VO2 max of 25
mL/kg/min on a treadmill test. What should the kinesiologist
conclude?
a. This person's CV fitness is very high for his cohort
b. This person's CV fitness is average...
c. This person's CV fitness is very low...
d. It is difficult to assess cardiovascular fitness from his VO2 max
score
◉ Explain that weight will be an issue post-surgery and discuss
lifestyle modification
Answer: Mr. Ron, 44 years old, presents to the clinic with a
physician's referral for weight management and pre-anthroscopic
knee surgery strengthening. Mr. Ron is 103.6kg with 30% BF, on a
168 cm frame and a weekend athlete. What should the kinesiologist
do?
a. Tell him to lose some weight before surgery and drop calories by
1,000 per day
b. Explain that weight will be an issue post-surgery and discuss
lifestyle modification
c. Suggest that he start a high-intensity plyometric program
d. Focus on a pre-surgery rehabilitation plan for his knee
◉ a. Children typically have a lower SV than adults
, Answer: Why is HR higher, both at rest and during exercise, in
children?
a. Children typically have a lower stroke volume than adults
b. Children have lower peripheral resistance than adults
c. Children have an increased ability to sweat
d. Children have an increased vascular stiffness
◉ d. It protracts and holds the scapula against the thoracic wall
Answer: What action does the serratus anterior have on the scapula?
a. It depresses and retracts
b. It retracts and rotates to depress the glenoid cavity
c. It depresses and rotates the scapula downward
d. It protracts and holds the scapula against the thoracic wall
◉ d. Increased CO, decreased MO
Answer: The kinesiologist is starting a training program with low-
altitude athletes at a high altitude. What effect does high-altitude
exposure have on the heart during exercise during similar intensity
exercise at sea level?
a. Increased cardiac output (CO), decreased myocardial oxygen (MO)
requirements
b. Decreased CO, increased MO requirements
c. Decreased CO, decreased MO requirements
