BPK 241 Exam 2026 Questions and
Answers
what are the 3 components to evidence-based medicine? - Correct answer-- patient
values & preferences
- best evidence
- clinical expertise
what are the 3 ways to prevent an injury? - Correct answer-- 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? - Correct answer-primary,
secondary, tertiary prevention
what is included in primary prevention? - Correct answer-- what we do to prevent
injury (warm up, stretch, training), preparation for phys. activity
©COPYRIGHT 2025, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1
,what is secondary prevention? - Correct answer-- once an injury/illness has
occurred
- antibiotics, rehab to return to original function
- physio, chiro, massage
braces/taping
What is tertiary prevention? - Correct answer-- 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? - Correct answer--
decrease incidence of injuries
- decrease severity of injuries
- what are 3 broad forms for preparing for phys. activity? - Correct answer-general
conditioning, specific training, protective measures
what is the cardiac output equation - Correct answer-CO = SV x HR
©COPYRIGHT 2025, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2
, What is fitness proportional to? - Correct answer-your resting HR over 1 min
what increases with exercise intensity? - Correct answer-blood lactate increases in
the muscles
what is the recommended amount of exercise weekly? - Correct answer-20-60
mins of HR > 150bpm for atleast 3x per week
What is isometric contraction? - Correct answer-muscle contracts but does not
change length
What is isotonic contraction? Eccentric? Concentric? - Correct answer-eccentric -
lengthening muscle
concentric - shortening length
what is the order of least to most stressful contraction on the muscles? - Correct
answer-isometric, concentric, eccentric
what is static stretching? - Correct answer-stationary, holding stretch
what is dynamic stretching - Correct answer-stretching while moving
What is ballistic stretching? - Correct answer-Quick, explosive movements that
involves bobbing, bouncing, jerking to prepare muscle.
