Director of Fatigue lab Ans✓✓ -Dill from Harvard Fatigue Lab or Reichmann
Who is the first European scientist to win the Nobel Peace Prize for Exercise
Physiology? Ans✓✓ -August Krogh
Hill and Meyerhof
How many steps are in the scientific method Ans✓✓ -6 (research question,
formulation of hypothesis, design experiment to test hypothesis, collect and
analyze data, interpret the data and formulate conclusions, communicate the
results)
translational research Ans✓✓ -a sub-type of applied research that uses basic
research findings to create new therapies to treat disease and/or enhance human
health
often referred to as evidence-based practice
what is the impact factor for a research article Ans✓✓ -numerical scores that
reflect on the number of times that recently published articles are cited in literature
highest IF is around 30, lowest IF is less than 0.2
for physiology/exercise science journal: top 35%=IP>2.0, top 5-10%=IP>4.5
What is exercise physiology's largest organization that we have Ans✓✓ -
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
Define work Ans✓✓ -Work(J) = force(N) x distance(m)
transfer of energy by a force acting on an object as it is displaced
, Define power Ans✓✓ -power(W) = work(J) x time(s)
time rate of doing work or delivering energy
what is direct calorimetry Ans✓✓ -measurement of heat production as an
indication of metabolic rate
most common technique used to measure oxygen consumption Ans✓✓ -open-
circuit spirometry
open-circuit spirometry Ans✓✓ -determines VO2 max by measuring amount of
O2 consumed
closed-circuit spirometry Ans✓✓ -subject breathes 100% oxygen, used primarily
to determine resting metabolic rates in clinical settings
1 MET Ans✓✓ -resting metabolic rate
taken as 3.5 mL*kg/min
energy expenditure of physical activities expressed in terms of multiples of MET
units
1 kilocalorie Ans✓✓ -1kcal = 1000 calories (4186J)
What is homeostasis Ans✓✓ -maintenance of a constant and "normal" internal
environment
ex: HR, body core temp, arterial blood pressure
