BPK 241 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
DETAILED ANSWERS. EXPERT
VERIFIED FOR GUARANTEED PASS.
What are the 3 components to evidence-based medicine? - ANS - patient values &
preferences
- best evidence
- clinical expertise
what are the 3 ways to prevent an injury? - ANS - reduction of force (protective equipment,
technique development, rules, fairness)
- strength of body parts (strength vs endurance)
- screening of participants (athlete's health, determine fitness, medicines)
what are the 3 stages to preventative medicine? - ANS primary, secondary, tertiary
prevention
what is included in primary prevention? - ANS - what we do to prevent injury (warm up,
stretch, training), preparation for phys. activity
what is secondary prevention? - ANS - once an injury/illness has occurred
- antibiotics, rehab to return to original function

,- physio, chiro, massage
braces/taping
What is tertiary prevention? - ANS - things we do when original function can't be restored
- reduce long-term impairment
- rehab to improve disability
- improve quality of life (wheelchair)
what are 2 reasons preparing for phys. activity is so crucial? - ANS - decrease incidence of
injuries
- decrease severity of injuries
- what are 3 broad forms for preparing for phys. activity? - ANS general conditioning, specific
training, protective measures
what is the cardiac output equation - ANS CO = SV x HR
What is fitness proportional to? - ANS your resting HR over 1 min
what increases with exercise intensity? - ANS blood lactate increases in the muscles
what is the recommended amount of exercise weekly? - ANS 20-60 mins of HR > 150bpm for
atleast 3x per week
What is isometric contraction? - ANS muscle contracts but does not change length
What is isotonic contraction? Eccentric? Concentric? - ANS eccentric - lengthening muscle
concentric - shortening length

, what is the order of least to most stressful contraction on the muscles? - ANS isometric,
concentric, eccentric
what is static stretching? - ANS stationary, holding stretch
what is dynamic stretching - ANS stretching while moving
What is ballistic stretching? - ANS Quick, explosive movements that involves bobbing,
bouncing, jerking to prepare muscle.
What is PNF stretching? - ANS Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation: Tense/Relax
method, often referred to as partner stretching.
what is included in general conditioning? specific training? protective measures? - ANS -
endurance, strength, power, flexibility
- sport-specific, individual specific, skills
- equipment, nutrition, hydration
what is gross vs fine motor skills? - ANS gross - large muscle groups, big motions
fine - small groups, small motions
open vs closed skills - ANS open - environment changing, players react to changes in heat of
moment (baseball)
- closed - stable environment (swimming, indoor track and field)
what are the 4 benefits of protective equipment? - ANS - absorbs energy
- disperses energy
- deflects a blow
- limits excess movement
