2024/2025 Comprehensive Questions A+ Graded Answers | 100% Pass
temperature in testing environment? - ✔✔60-70*
how often should equipment be calibrated? - ✔✔monthly
what initial measurements should be taken at rest? - ✔✔HR and BP
why do you perform cardiorespiratory endurance tests after taking HR and BP? - ✔✔they could cause
dehydration if done first
order of tests done in initial fitness assessment - ✔✔1. HR and BP
2. cardiorespiratory endurance
3. muscular vigor
4. flexibility
BMI formula - ✔✔kg/m^2
obese BMI - ✔✔30+
overweight BMI - ✔✔25-29
normal BMI - ✔✔<25
skinfold sites - ✔✔tricep, subscapular, midaxillary, chest, suprailium, abdomen, thigh
way of estimating body comp - ✔✔densitometry
, what is densitometry based on? - ✔✔principle of displacing water or air and then calculating body
density
body density = - ✔✔proportion of body mass to body volume
hydrodensitometry - ✔✔weighing a person underwater
plethysmography - ✔✔air displacement in a closed chamber
(T/F) lower body fat % = higher body density? - ✔✔true
maximal oxygen uptake - ✔✔measures the difference between oxygen levels in the arteries and veins
times maximal cardiac output
open circuit spirometry - ✔✔blows into a mouth piece, goes into system measuring metabolic
parameters with computer readout
two types of field tests - ✔✔12 minute test, 1.5 walk/run test
disadvantage of field test - ✔✔no way to check HR or BP
advantage of field test - ✔✔only need a stopwatch
cycle ergometer test - ✔✔BP and HR taken during all increments, when steady, work load is increased.
when do you terminate a cycle ergometer test? - ✔✔when client reaches 85% of maximal HR
Astrand-Rhyming nomogram - ✔✔graph with scales that predict oxygen uptake from other parameters
such as HR
