THIS EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY PRACTICE EXAM PREPARES STUDENTS
FOR FINAL COURSE ASSESSMENTS BY COVERING FOUNDATIONAL
AND APPLIED CONCEPTS IN HUMAN PERFORMANCE. QUESTIONS
ARE DESIGNED TO REINFORCE UNDERSTANDING OF PHYSIOLOGICAL
SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADAPTATION TO ACUTE AND CHRONIC
EXERCISE.
Aerobic exercise performed at 6,000 feet of elevation is compromised, as compared to the same
exercise at sea level, because _________
the inspiratory fraction of oxygen is lower at the higher elevation.
there is a lower partial pressure of oxygen at the higher elevation.
All of the above are correct.Incorrect
there is more UV radiation than at lower elevations.
there is a lower partial pressure of oxygen at the higher elevation.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is defined as:
elevation in systolic (>140 mm Hg) or diastolic (>90 mm Hg) blood pressure.
elevation in systolic (>130 mm Hg) or diastolic (>80 mm Hg) blood pressure.
elevation in systolic (>160 mm Hg) or diastolic (>95 mm Hg) blood pressure.
elevation in systolic (>150 mm Hg) or diastolic (>70 mm Hg) blood pressure.
elevation in systolic (>130 mm Hg) or diastolic (>80 mm Hg) blood pressure.
The term "supercompensation" refers to the _________
consumption of a high-protein diet following weight training to increase muscle mass.
procedures for replacing fat stores following exhaustive exercise studies.
,increase in muscle mass following heavy exercise.
increase in muscle glycogen when exhaustive exercise is followed by a high-carbohydrate diet.
increase in muscle glycogen when exhaustive exercise is followed by a high-carbohydrate diet.
An endurance athlete that experiences frequent bout of fatigue and a decline in performance may
_________
be suffering from anemia.
All of the above are correct.
also be experiencing a drop in the rate of erythropoiesis.
need to examine the amount of iron intake in their diet.
All of the above are correct.
Experts recommend that pregnant athletes avoid exercise intensities, durations, and environmental
conditions that would raise their core temperature more than.

Which of the following statements is true about muscle ATP production during exercise?
During severe, short-duration exercise (e.g., 10 seconds), muscle ATP production is dominated by
the ATP-PC system.
Severe exercise lasting 20-30 seconds relies primarily on anaerobic glycolysis to produce the needed
ATP for muscular contraction.
Very heavy exercise lasting 45-60 seconds uses a combination of the ATP-PC system, glycolysis, and
oxidative phosphorylation to produce the needed ATP for exercise.
All of these statements are true.
During severe, short-duration exercise (e.g., 10 seconds), muscle ATP production is dominated by
the ATP-PC system.
,Which of the following is a long-standing medical concern for children participating in intense
endurance or resistance training?
that there will be permanent cardiopulmonary damage
skeletal muscles will grow faster than the bones
that mechanical injury will cause premature closure of the growth plate
all of these
that mechanical injury will cause premature closure of the growth plate
At three minutes of all-out high-intensity exercise, _________blank of the ATP is derived from
aerobic sources.
60%
90%
40%
10%
60%
Carbohydrate rinsing _________
involves rinsing whole foods in a maltodextrin (or similar carbohydrate solution) in order to alter
total body metabolism.
is a technique for eliminating all carbohydrate consumption in order to promote excess fat
utilization.
All of the above are examples of carbohydrate rinsing.
involves swishing a carbohydrate solution in the mouth for 5-10 seconds without consuming the
fluid.
involves swishing a carbohydrate solution in the mouth for 5-10 seconds without consuming the
fluid.
, The layer of connective tissue that surrounds the outside of skeletal muscle (i.e., just below the
fascia) is called the
endomysium.
epimysium.
perimysium.
basement membrane.
epimysium.
A category of applied research that uses basic research findings to create new therapies to treat
disease is often called _________
translational research
developmental research
descriptive research
experimental research
translational research
Aging is often associated with a cognitive decline. Although the greatest rate of cognitive decline
occurs after 65 years of age, it is possible that a mild decline in cognition can occur as early as age
45.
25.
55.
35.
45.
The excess post-exercise oxygen consumption is generally higher following heavy exercise when
compared with moderate exercise because heavy exercise
results in a greater level of liver glycogen depletion.
results in greater body heat gained, greater CP depleted, higher blood levels of epinephrine and
norepinephrine, and higher blood lactate levels.
produces more lactic acid.
