AEA Study Guide Questions and Answers
1. is defined as the maximum force that can be exerted by amuscle or
a muscle group against a resistance
ANS Musclar Strength
2. What type of stretching activates the muscle spindles, specialized receptorsin the muscle
that monitor muscle length change and the speed of muscle length change?
ANS Ballistic Stretching
3. Name the six skill-related components of fitness
ANS Balance, coordinationspeed, power, agility, and reaction time
4. What is the difference between maximal heart rate and heart rate reserve ANS -
Maximal HR is the highest HR a person can achieve. It is measured with a max HRtest or
estimated with 220 minus your age. Heart rate reserve is your miximal HR minus (-) your
resting HR
5. How does compression lower your heart rate in the water?
ANS The water com-presses all body systems, included the vascular system, causing a

ANS - Improves physical appearance
- Increases functional capactiy

9. When calculating exercise intensity, a popular method is the Karvonen Formula, which
is known as the
ANS Heart Rate Reserve Method
