NASM-CPT (7th Edition) Chapter 8 Exam Questions And
Answers 100% Solved
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - ANSWER A high-energy molecule that serves as the main
form of energy in the human body; known as the energy currency of the body.
Bioenergetics - ANSWER The study of energy in the human body.
Metabolism - ANSWER All of the chemical reactions that occur in the body to maintain itself.
Exercise Metabolism - ANSWER The examination of bioenergetics as it relates to the unique
physiologic changes and demands placed on the body during exercise.
First Law Of Thermodynamics - ANSWER Energy cannot be created or destroyed but merely
converted from one form to another.
Macronutrients - ANSWER Food substances required in large amounts to supply energy and
include protein, carbohydrate, and fat.
Energy Balance - ANSWER All of the energy someone consumes is either used to perform
bodily functions or stored within the body (typically as body fat).
Substrates - ANSWER Intermediate forms of nutrients used in metabolic reactions to create
, adenosine triphosphate.
Glucose - ANSWER The simplest form of carbohydrate used by the body for energy.
Glycogen - ANSWER Glucose that is deposited and stored in bodily tissues, such as the liver
and muscle cells; the storage form of carbohydrate.
Fats are what primarily fuel the body when it is not active. - ANSWER True
As the intensity of an activity increases, the body transitions from using mostly fat as fuel to
using mostly glucose to provide energy. - ANSWER True
Ventilatory Threshold 1 (VT1) - ANSWER The point at which the body uses an equal mix of
carbohydrate and fat as fuel sources.
Ventilatory Threshold 2 (VT2) - ANSWER The point where glucose provides nearly all of the
energy for the activity.
Fats - ANSWER One of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy in the body.
Fats help the body use some vitamins and keep the skin healthy. They also serve as energy
stores for the body. In food, there are two types of fats: saturated and unsaturated.
Triglyceride - ANSWER The chemical or substrate form in which most fat exists in food as well
