1. Three assessments for muscular endurance: 1. Bench Press
2. Push up
3. Curl-up
2. Transtheoretical Model - Cognitive processes (5): 1. consciousness raising
2. dramatic relief
3. environmental re-evaluation
4. self-revolution
5. social liberation
3. Transtheoretical Model - Behavioral processes: 1. counter conditioning
2. helping relationships
3. reinforcement management
4. self-liberation
5. stimulus control
4. Twitch: When a motor unit is stimulated by a single nerve impulse
5. Tetanus: Motor unit stimulated continuously
6. Summation: Motor unit has more than one stimulus
7. Work Rate = ?: Force x Velocity
8. Anaerobic Glycolysis is also known as...: Lactic Acid Cycle, uses only carbohy-
drate, end result is lactic acid, no oxygen required. Used for events from 30 seconds
to three minutes
9. Symptoms of hypoglycemia: tachycardia, excessive sweating (diaphoresis),
light-headedness, visual disturbances
10. Symptoms of hyperglycemia: acetone odor on breath, confusion, slurred
speech
11. Failure to spot or assist a client may be considered...? (legal term): Negli-
gence by omission
12. Informed Consent: Enables clients to make informed decisions. Not a legal
document. Provides detailed explanation of exercise program. Does not provide
legal immunity. Negligence is not covered by informed consent.
13. Diagonal skinfolds: Chest, suprailiac, subscapular; all other skinfolds are ver-
tical
14. Shaping: setting a series of intermediate goals that lead to a long-term goal
15. At what stage are people at most risk of relapse?: Action
16. What is cardiac output?: the amount of blood ejected from the heart per
minute.
17. What happens at the alveoli?: exchange of gasses with the blood occurs.
18. Karvonen Formula: Target Heart Rate = ((max HR resting HR) × %Intensity)
+ resting HR

19. Consequences of high temperature: Dehydration, dizziness, syncope, heat
exhaustion, or heat stroke
20. Consequences of low temperature: dehydration, reduced coordination, chills,
hypothermia, potentially frost-bite
21. Stroke Volume and concentric phase: Stroke volume is NOT significantly
elevated to more than resting during the concentric phase of resistance training.
22. Stroke Volume and eccentric phase: Stroke volume is significantly increased
during eccentric phase
23. What is muscle fatigue?: The loss of force or power output in response to
voluntary effort leading to reduced performance.
24. What is central fatigue?: The progressive reduction in voluntary drive to motor
neurons during exercise
25. What is peripheral fatigue?: The loss of force and power that is independent
of neural drive.
26. Determining treadmill speed formula:: Belt length (inches) x number of revo-
lutions per minute\ 1,056 (the conversion of inches per minute to miles per hour)
27. Circumferences are used for...?: Circumferences are used to estimate body
composition and provide specific reference to the distribution of fat in the body.
28. Define "push-up": Downward phase: eccentric, flexion
Upward phase: concentric, extension
29. Oxidative - Aerobic: carbs and fats used to synthesize ATP; for activities lasting
longer than 3 minutes
30. Children and sweat: Children sweat less because sweat rate and rate of sweat
production for each gland are lower in children. They have same number of glands.
31. Beta blockers: decrease/lower heart rate
32. Blood flow from periphery: superior and inferior venae cavae, right atrium,
tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonic semilunar valve, pulmonary arteries, and
lungs
33. Arteries: carry blood away from heart, decrease to arterioles
34. Capillaries: where the exchange of nutrients occurs between blood and tissue
35. Veins: carry blood toward the heart
36. Venules: small veins, carry blood from capillaries to veins
37. Blood flow from lungs: Left pulmonary vein, left artrium, bicuspid valve, left
ventricle, aortic semilunar valve, ascendina aorta, systemic circulation
38. Muscle fibers: Type I = slow twitch and high oxidative
Type IIB = fast twitch with low oxidative
Type IIA = intermediate, with twitch and oxidative property, bridge between I and II
Type IIx to Type IIA = from endurance and resistance training
