Question 1: Relative Intensity
Answer: The degree of effort required to expend energy and is influenced by
cardiorespiratory fitness or maximal aerobic power is.
Question 2: Absolute Intensity
Answer: The rate of work.
Question 3: Moderate Intensity
Answer: Refers to the absolute intensity of 3 to 5.9 METS (40-59%) and 5-6
RPE
Question 4: Vigorous Intensity
Answer: Refers to absolute intensity of 6 or more METS (60-84%) and 7-8 RPE
Question 5: Functional Fitness
Answer: Fitness Programming that uses a variety of exercise to simulate routine
tasks.
Question 6: PAR-Q
Answer: A self-administered flow chart that helps an individual determine whether they
should seek a physician's clearance before beginning a low-to-moderate intensity exercise
program.
Question 7: HSQ
Answer: A more thorough health analysis, administered by a fitness professional to identify
risk factors, lifestyle behaviors, exercise history, and red flags that may require program
modification.
Question 8: Post Exercise Heart Rate
Answer: Is taken at the end of an exercise bout to see at what heart rate
you were exercising.

,Question 9: Recovery Heart Rate
Answer: Is taken immediately after an exercise test for one full minute,
during which the time every beat is counted. The purpose is to see how quickly the heart rate
returns to resting.
Question 10: Mediolateral Axis
Answer: Perpendicular to the sagittal plane and is where flexion and extension
occurs.
Question 11: Anteroposterior Axis
Answer: Perpendicular to the frontal plane and where abduction and
adduction occurs.
Question 12: Longitudinal Axis
Answer: Perpendicular to the transverse plane and where internal and external
rotation occurs.
Question 13: Periosteum
Answer: A fibrous membrane that covers the entire long bone and serves as an
attachment for muscles.
Question 14: Diaphysis
Answer: The shaft of the bone.
Question 15: Epiphysis
Answer: Forms the ends of the bones where long bones articulate with other bones.
Question 16: Epiphyseal Plates
Answer: Between the diaphyses and epiphysis and are growth areas where the
cartilage is placed by the bone.
Question 17: Articular Cartilage
Answer: A thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the articulating surfaces that
provides a smooth, low-friction surface and helps absorb shock.

, Question 18: Gliding
Answer: A type of joint that has minimal sliding movement between the bones. (Ex: tarsal
bones in the foot)
Question 19: Hinge
Answer: A type of joint that has a more limited direction and ROM than other joints. (Ex:
ulnahumeral joint (elbow), interphalangael joint (fingers and thumb), and ankle joint)
Question 20: Ball and Socket
Answer: A type of joint that allows a wide range and direction of movement. (Ex:
glenohumeral joint (shoulder) and hip joint)
Question 21: Pivot
Answer: A type of joint that permits rotation about one axis only, the longitudinal axis. (Ex:
proximal radioulnar joint)
Question 22: Saddle Joint/ Ellipsoidal
Answer: A type of joint whose shape permits rotation about 2 axes. (Ex:
wrist and sternoclavicular joint)
Question 23: Short Bones
Answer: Tarsals (ankle) and carpals (wrist) are examples of these types of bones
Question 24: Flat Bones
Answer: Ribs, scapulae, sternum, and ilia (wings of the pelvis) are examples of these
types of bones.
Question 25: Long bones
Answer: Humerus, femur, ulna, and tibia are examples of these types of bones.
Question 26: Irregular Bones
Answer: Ischium (inferior part of pelvis), pubis and vertebra are examples of these
types of bones.
