6130 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2026
Describe relationship between CRF and mortality - ANS Inverse
Benefits of PA: Prevents and Manages Chronic Diseases - ANS Chronic low grade
inflammation negitavely effects nearly all organ systems of the body
Repeated exposure reduces chronic low grade inflammation
Regulates immune system with acute and chronic PA
CVD
Hypertension
Dyslipidema
Type II Diabetes
Cancer
Obesity
Arthritis
Neurodegenerative disease
Benefits of PA: Improves brain health and function - ANS Cognitive performance

,Prevents and manages depression and anxiety
Improves sleep
Manages migraines
Benefits of PA: Optimize body composition - ANS Can contribute to weight loss
Useful to prevent and manage obesity
Central distribution of fat is more significant than overall body weight
Reduces waist circumference with and without weight loss
Benefits of PA: Improves Tissue Health - ANS Tissues adapt to optimal loading
Strengthens ligaments, cartilage, bone, muscle, discs
Builds tissue capacity to prevent injury, optimizes recovery and prevent reinjury
Prevents and manages osteoporosis
Benefits of PA: Promotes successful aging - ANS Preserve function, independence and QOL
Reduce risk of falls and fall related injury
Have more energy: stimulates mitochondria activity
Confidence
A healthy 24 hours includes - ANS 150 mins/ week mod-vig PA
Muscle strengthening at least 2x/week using major muscle groups (max benefits <60mins)
Several hours LPA
7-9hrs (18-64yrs) 7-8 hrs (65+yrs) good quality, regular/consistent sleep
Less than 8 hours sedentary (above this mortality increases rapidly
Less than 3 hours screen time

, PA Definition - ANS Any bodily movement produced by the contraction of muscles that
increases energy expenditure above a resting level
Exercise Definition - ANS PA that is planned, structured, repetitive and performed with the
goal of improving components of health or fitness
MPA Met level - ANS 3-6 Mets
VPA Met level - ANS More than 6
Causes greater reduction of all cause mortality
PA Risks: Thermal - ANS Illness that occurs when exercising during conditions of high
environmental stress
Heat related: high temp and humidity
Cold related: extreme cold temp, windchill, moisture
Some conditions impair thermoregulation, inadequate preparation for conditions
PA Risks: Infectious disease - ANS Exposure to pathogens via direct contact or airborne
transmission during PA
Factors: environment, ventilation, crowded space, direct contact, health conditions that cause
immunosuppression
PA Risks: Musculoskeletal - ANS Eg. Sprains, strains, fractures
Factors: type of activity (force x frequency), load management (exceeds tissue capacity,
progression, inadequate recovery, individual) , environment and equipment
