CISSN Study Guide Questions with
Complete Solutions
what has the greatest effect on the sedentary person's daily energy expenditure Correct
Answ_resting metabolic rate
what activities or sports use ATP-PCr energy system as the main energy system? Correct
Answ_short, high intensity sports.
E.g- sprinting, power lifting, high-jump, long jump
what role do vitamins play in metabolism? Correct Answ_vitamins are the building
blocks/precursors to cell parts and enzymes involved in substrate metabolism
where does most of the energy for ATP phosphorylation come from? Correct Answ_from the
energy in the chemical bonds of the food we ingest
what does pre-exercise ingestion of glycerol do? Correct Answ_a. hyper hydration of water
retention
b. plasma volume increases
,c. exercising HR is reduced
d. improved performance time
why is fat considered the ideal cellular fuel? Correct Answ_it produces a far superior amount
of energy when oxidized vs. carbs or protein
what are the essential amino acids?
what are some conditionally essential amino acids? Correct Answ_a) essentail AA can not be
synthesized by the body and must be consume in our diet
- histidine
- isoleucine
- leucine
- lysine
- methionine
- phenylalanine
- threonine
- tryptophan
- valine
, b) conditionally essential AA (under stressful conditions such as exercise)
- arginine
- cysteine
- glutamine
- glycine
- proline
- tyrosine
what is the process of glycogen synthesis called? Correct Answ_glycogenesis (the formation
of glycogen from sugar)
what is the main function of a carbohydrate Correct Answ_energy source
what is the primary fuel source for high jump?
1500 meter run?
marathon? Correct Answ_high jump: ATP/Creatine Phosphate, CHO
