HPE 1 Test QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Aerobic Exercise:
a. Refers to any exercise that requires oxygen.
b. Is any continuous exercise involving repetitive use of large muscle groups.
c. Involves quick bursts of speed and strength.
d. Both a. and b. - CORRECT ANSWERS B
Muscle Development Exercises:
a. An activity designed to improve the functioning ability of the muscles that control body
movement and posture
b. The ability of skeletal muscle to contract repetitively or to maintain a contraction for a long
period of time
c. The ability of a skeletal muscle to exert maximal amount of force during a single contraction -
CORRECT ANSWERS A
Overload Principle:
a. A principle stating that too much strain on a body can result in injury or death
b. A conditioning process that uses an exercise workload greater than is normally performed to
cause the body's systems to adapt and enable the body to function at a higher level
c. A conditioning effect that acknowledges the variation in the conditioning response from
exercise due to a person's physical, psychological, and heredity makeup - CORRECT
ANSWERS B
Flexibility is...
a. Being able to move a joint through the full range of motion without discomfort or pain
b. Lowers your risk for injury
,c. Ensures efficient body movements
d. All of the above - CORRECT ANSWERS D
Performance fitness:
a. The appropriate functioning body that allows quality living and longevity
b. The ability to perform normal daily activities
c. The ability to successfully participate in sporting activities that require coordination, agility,
and balance - CORRECT ANSWERS C
List the four general categories of exercise and the benefits each has to different parts of the
body. - CORRECT ANSWERS Aerobic (develops cardiorespiratory system, prevents heart
disease and improves immune system), muscle-development (control movement and maintain
posture, weight training), flexibility (improve or maintain joint range of motion, reduced risk of
injury, more efficient movement), anaerobic (develop performance fitness such as speed, agility,
and strength)
Physical Fitness
a. The appropriate functioning body that allows quality living and longevity
b. The ability to perform normal daily activities
c. The ability to successfully participate in sporting activities that require coordination, agility,
and balance - CORRECT ANSWERS B
Cool-down
a. Is the fourth step in an exercising session
b. Is designed to bring the body back to near resting levels
c. All of the above - CORRECT ANSWERS B
Health fitness
, a. The appropriate functioning body that allows quality living and longevity
b. The ability to perform normal daily activities
c. The ability to successfully participate in sporting activities that require coordination, agility,
and balance - CORRECT ANSWERS A
Muscular endurance
a. An activity designed to improve the functioning ability of the muscles that control body
movement and posture
b. The ability of skeletal muscle to contract repetitively or to maintain a contraction for a long
period of time
c. The ability of a skeletal muscle to exert maximal amount of force during a single contraction -
CORRECT ANSWERS B
Specificity principle
a. A conditioning process that uses an exercise workload greater than is normally performed to
cause the body's systems to adapt and enable the body to function at a higher level
b. A process that causes adaptations to occur only within the bodily systems being used during
exercise and is dependent upon the type of exercise performed
c. A deconditioning process that causes the physiological adaptions gained from exercise to be
lost due to inactivity - CORRECT ANSWERS B
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
a. Healthy and efficient functioning of the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and the blood
b. Is not essential for performing all physical activities
c. Healthy and efficient functioning of the heart, lungs, and nervous system - CORRECT
ANSWERS A
