CSEP CPT Exam
What are METs? - ✔️✔️A MET or Metabolic Equivalent is the ratio of energy
consumption to a reference metabolic rate set by convention to 3.5 ml O2/kg/min.
What are the METs during light intensity, moderate intensity, vigorous intensity, and
moderate-vigorous intensity PA? - ✔️✔️Light: >1.5 MET <3.0
Moderate: 3-6 METS
Vigorous: >6 MET
Mod-Vig: All Activities > 3 METs
Define Muscular Strength. - ✔️✔️Is the ability to prodiuce maximal force at a given
speed.
Define Endurance. - ✔️✔️Is the relative intensity of exercise that an individual can
maintain for a period of time.
What is the fuel for the anaerobic lactic system? Duration? By-products? - ✔️✔️Fuel:
CHO
Duration: 15-120 secs
By-Products: Lactic Acid, 2 ATP/mol CHO
What is the fuel for the aerobic system? Duration? By-products? - ✔️✔️Fuel: CHO,
Fats, and Proteins (5%)
Duration: 120 -several hours
By-Products: Heat, 36 ATP/mol CHO, H20, CO2
What is the valid direct measure of MAP or VO2? - ✔️✔️A breath by breath analysis
whereby the subject is hooked up to an analyzer via a hose/mask. Thew contents of
each breath is then analyzed while incrementally increasing the WR/WL until the subject
can no longer maintain the intended intensity minimum or the tester deems them unfit to
continue.
what is the average stroke volume during exercise and at rest? - ✔️✔️Rest: 70 mL/b
Exercise: 120-190mL/b
what is the average cardiac output at rest and during Exercise? - ✔️✔️Rest: 4900
mL/min
Exercise: 22800-34200 mL/min
What is the fuel for the anaerobic alactic system? Duration? By products? - ✔️✔️Fuel:
ATP and PCr
, Duration : 0-15 secs
By products: ADP, Cr, Pi
Define Aerobic Power. - ✔️✔️Refers to the maximal rate of O2 consumption to do
sustained or near continuous work per unit of time.
Define Muscular Power. - ✔️✔️It is the ability to generate strength at speed.
Sometimes it is referred to as the force-velocity relationship.
Define Flexibility - ✔️✔️The range of motions about a joint or a series of joints.
What is the primary lever type in the body? What is its orientation? - ✔️✔️-Third Class
Lever
-The fulcrum is at the end of the lever and the effort is b/w the fulcrum and load.
Describe the principles of force production - ✔️✔️The Skeletal system works as a
biomechanical system in which the bones and joints form levers and the muscle acts as
the effort force causing the joint to move. The Agonist muscle causing force contracts
while the antagonist muscle lengthens/relaxes. The Stabilizers ensure no unwanted
movement occurs.
What are the 3 major muscle groups? - ✔️✔️1. Cardiac Muscle
2. Smooth Muscle
3. Skeletal Muscle
Define Skeletal Muscle - ✔️✔️Are the muscles that attach to bones and are voluntarily
activated to produce movement
Define Cardiac Muscle - ✔️✔️are responsible for contraction of the heart and are
involuntary
Define Smooth Muscle - ✔️✔️Are responsible for any organs excluding the heart and
are involuntary contraction.
Define Overload - ✔️✔️Doing more then one has been doing. The point of this principle
is to find a zone that is safe but challenges you to evoke physiological adaptation
Define Specificity - ✔️✔️refers to the fact that specific physiological capacities will
improve only if they are worked. The type of training chosen will dictate specific results.
Define Reversibility - ✔️✔️Refers to the fact that one must keep engaging in PA to
maintain the improvements otherwise they will begin to disappear.
