QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Which principle supports the need to do more than normal for benefits to
occur?.
Answer: Overload
◍ What's the leading cause of death in the US?.
Answer: CVD
◍ cardiorespiratory endurance.
Answer: the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver adequate
amounts of oxygen to the cells to meet the demands of prolonged physical
activity, determines how well essential systems work together for long
periods of physical activity
◍ Which of the following categorizes someone with "high cholesterol" status
and increases their risk for multiple CV diseases? A) 130/60 mm HgB) 240
mg/dlC) 5 L/minD) 60 ml/beat.
Answer: 240 mg/dl
◍ What was the final conclusion of the Aerobic Center Longitudinal Study by
Dr. Blair? A) lower fitness level = lower mortality riskB) lower fitness level
= higher mortality risk.
Answer: lower fitness level = higher mortality risk
◍ Basic Cardiorespiratory Physiology.
Answer: heart pumps oxygenated blood to muscles, heart receives
deoxygenated blood from tissues, heart pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs,
reoxygenated blood is pumped through body
,◍ arteries.
Answer: elastic/unobstructed, the size of the diameter is under muscular
control, carries oxygenated blood, those that are unfit have a reduced
diameter of become inelastic
◍ veins.
Answer: elastic/unobstructed, carries deoxygenated blood, relies on
pumping action of muscles to facilitate venous return
◍ What's the difference between a vein and an artery? A) veins carry blood
away from the heartB) arteries carry blood towards the heartC) veins are
made with valves to enhance blood flow.
Answer: veins are made with valves to enhance blood flow
◍ Name an indicator of a positive CV adaptation to exercise?.
Answer: lower resting heart rate
◍ Cardiorespiratory endurance is considered the most important aspect of
physical fitness becauseA) It doesn't require effort to maintainB) It increases
performance in sportsC) It reduces risks for chronic disease and improves
quality of life.
Answer: It reduces risks for chronic disease and improves quality of life
◍ What summarizes the relationship between cardiorespiratory endurance and
risk of cardiovascular disease? A) High levels of cardiorespiratory
endurance have been shown to reduce risksB) As cardiorespiratory
endurance increases, risk decreases.
Answer: As cardiorespiratory endurance increases, risk decreases
◍ VO2max of 52 ml/kg/min for 25-year old male is consideredA) PoorB)
FairC) Good.
Answer: Good
◍ What's accepted and recommended formula for determining max heart rate?
A) Max HR = Resting HR + ageB) Max HR = 50 + (2 x age)C) Max HR =
208 - ( .7 x age).
Answer: Max HR = 208 - ( .7 x age)
, ◍ A good HDL-C measurement, indicating a low CVD riskA) <100 mg/dlB)
<40 mg/dlC) 60 + mg/dl.
Answer: 60 + mg/dl
◍ Oxygen Uptake (VO2).
Answer: capacity of the body to deliver and utilize oxygen, higher
capacity=greater efficiency
◍ What's the most popular measure of measuring activity volume? A) Body
WeightB) Time of a sessionC) Calories per week.
Answer: Calories per week
◍ maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max).
Answer: maximum amount of oxygen the body us able to use per minute of
physical activity, expressed in L/min
◍ factors affecting VO2 max.
Answer: genetics, gender (15%-30% higher in men), age (decreases 1%/year
starting at 25, only 0.5% for active people), training state, and body
composition
◍ Which of the following would be the least likely to improve aerobic fitness?
A) jogging for 20 mins, 4 days per weekB) elliptical for 20 mins, 3 days per
weekC) walking for 15 mins, 2 days per week.
Answer: Walking for 15 mins, 2 days per week
◍ health benefits of aerobic fitness.
Answer: reduces risk of early death, coronary heart disease, and CHD risk
factors, protection against health risks associated with obesity, enhances the
ability to perform various tasks, improves ability to function, associated
with a feeling of well-being
◍ How does PA reduce the risk of excessive plaque buildup and
atherosclerotic development? A) PA increases LDL cholesterolB) PA
increases blood lipid levelsC) PA increases HDL cholesterol.
Answer: PA increases HDL cholesterol
