Lifetime Fitness Exam II Questions with
Answers Graded A+
Connective tissue (5) Correct Answ_-Tendons
- Ligaments
- Cartilage
- Fascia
- (Bone)
What is connective tissue? Correct Answ_Structurally:
- Links muscle to bone (tendons)
- Links bone to bone (ligaments)
- Provides smooth joint articulating surface and serves as a shock absorber (cartilage)
Performance:
- Assists in transmission of forces
- Assists in resisting of forces (stability)
Connective Tissue Adaptations Correct Answ_Adaptations occur:
,- At the junctions between the tendon/ligament and bone surface
- Within the body of the tendon or ligament
- In the network of fascia within skeletal muscle
- From weight-bearing exercise, thickness in articular cartilage
Connective tissues adapt at a faster or slower rate than muscle tissue? Correct Answ_Slower
Benefits of Muscular Strength and Endurance Correct Answ_- Improved performance of
physical activities
- Lower risk of injury including low-back pain
- Increase fat-free mass and resting metabolic rate
- Improved glucose metabolism
- Enhanced self-image and quality of life
- Improved muscle and bone health with aging
- Metabolic health
- Improve balance and decreased risk of falls in older age
, What is muscular strength? Correct Answ_the amount of force a muscle can produce with a
single maximum effort
What is muscular endurance? Correct Answ_the ability to resist fatigue while holding or
repeating a muscular contraction
How is muscular strength assessed? Correct Answ_Muscular strength is usually assessed by
measuring the maximum amount of weight a person can lift one time (1 RM)
How is muscular endurance assessed? Correct Answ_Muscular endurance is assessed by
counting the maximum number of repetitions of a muscular contraction a person can perform to
fatigue
Two types of muscular strength test Correct Answ_Dynamic strength tests (1 RM)
Isometric strength tests (Tests strength at one point of the range of motion)
Testing Muscular Endurance Correct Answ_- Push-up/modified push-up (knees) test
- Sit-up test
- Squat endurance test
