ANSWERS
Define exercise physiology - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Exercise
physiology is the science that describes, explains, and uses the body's
response and adaptation to exercise training to maximum human
physical potential.
It includes the interaction of the heart, lungs, and muscles, and how they
respond to exercise.
Define optimal fitness - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Optimal fitness
refers to the best functioning level of fitness a Marine can attain. At the
optimal level, the body of the Marine functions as efficiently as it can.
Which factor measures a Marine's optimal fitness? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Optimal fitness can be measured by accomplishing
missions without undue fatigue.
The ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly without fatiguing. -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Muscular Endurance
,The ability of the heart and lungs to work efficiently over an extended
period of time and provide oxygen to the working muscles. -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Cardiopulmonary Endurance
Refers to the muscular and fat make-up of the body. - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Body Composition
The ability to move your joints comfortably through a full range of
motion. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Flexibility
The amount of force a muscle can produce. - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Muscular Strength
Blood is pumped to the lungs by the (blank) side of the heart and
pumped to the body by the (blank) side of the heart. - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Right; Left
Identify six adaptations of the heart and blood vessels in response to
exercise. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ (1) The size of the heart
increases making it able to pump more blood with more force.
(2) The amount of blood the heart pumps with each contraction
increases. This is due to a combination of an increase in the heart size
and a decrease in pulse that allows more blood to enter the heart between
beats.
,(3) There is a decrease in the resting and training heart rate.
(4) The heart rate recovers to resting levels more rapidly after training
has stopped.
(5) More capillaries form to supply the working muscles with oxygen
rich blood.
(6) Blood pressure decreases.
Cpl Jones participates in endurance training 3 times per week while Cpl
Jefferson participates once a week. What effect may this have on both
Marines' lungs. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Cpl Jones' body is
effectively using a large amount of oxygen better than Cpl Jefferson.
The molecule that provides the energy for muscle contraction is? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ adenosine tri-phosphate
Provides energy for endurance tasks - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
Aerobic
Provides energy for 30 to 90 seconds - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
Anaerobic
, Provides energy for 6 to 10 seconds - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
Creatine Phosphate
Identify the three major benefits of warming up. - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ (1) Increases body temperature
(2) Improved range of motion
(3) Prepares the heart and lungs for higher intensity exercise
General Warm-up Method - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Increases
Temperature
Improves Flexibility
Passive Warm-up Method - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Limited
energy expenditure
Specific Warm-up Method - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Increases
temperature
Incorporates activity specific skills
Allows for mental rehearsal
