KNH 188 - PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH- SLIGER-
EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
epidemic - Answers - A widespread outbreak of an infectious disease.
infectious disease - Answers - A disease that is caused by a pathogen and that can be
spread from one individual to another.
nutritional disease - Answers - Disease caused by lack of nutritious food, too little food,
or an inability to utilize the food that is eaten, malnutrition
chronic disease - Answers - A disease that develops gradually and continues over a
long period of time
physical activity - Answers - any bodily movement that results in energy expenditure
exercise - Answers - specific type of physical activity that is planned, repetitive, and
done for a specific purpose
physical fitness - Answers - a set of measurable physiological parameters
kinesiology - Answers - addresses the interrelationship of physiological processes and
the anatomy of the body with respect to movement
exercise physiology - Answers - study of how the body structures and functions are
altered by acute bouts of exercise or physical activity, and how the body adapts to the
chronic stress of physical training
movement sciences - Answers - include the study areas of motor learning, motor
control, and biomechanics; how we make connection between brain and body
motor learning - Answers - study of how we learn and perform motor skills such as
cycling and dancing; addresses concepts that influence motor skills negatively or
positively
motor control - Answers - study of human info processing and the integration of motor
movements that involve motor planning and execution
biomechanics - Answers - study of physics applied to the understanding of movement in
living organisms
, sport and exercise psychology - Answers - study of behaviors and outcomes related to
participation in sports ad programs of exercise training; what is behind motivation to
exercise
functional health - Answers - health attained through participation in regular physical
activity and exercise programs; can be on an individual basis or in populations;
reasonably but not perfectly healthy person with a lot of health bu some disability
accumulation - Answers - acquiring a specific dose of physical activity or exercise, or
achieving a physical activity or exercise goal, by performing several shorter bouts and
adding them up
dose-response - Answers - amount of physical activity or exercise needed for achieving
health, fitness, or performance goals
anaerobic activities - Answers - activities that involve contractions of fast fibers and
cause quick fatigue; don't require oxygen
resistance training - Answers - weight training
aerobic activities - Answers - activities that work your heart and lungs; improves
cardiorespiratory endurance
combined physical movements - Answers - require significant contributions of energy
from both anaerobic and aerobic energy sources
interval training - Answers - requires working at a higher intensity for a few seconds or
minutes followed by working at a lower intensity for the same amount of time
static physical activity or exercise - Answers - anaerobic activity that requires an
increase in force production with limited range of motion
dynamic physical activity or exercise - Answers - requires muscle shortening and
lengthening movements
anaerobic power - Answers - activities with short-burst, high-intensity movements that
last less than 15 seconds and stress the anaerobic energy pathways of the body
anaerobic capacity - Answers - activities with short-burst, high-intensity movements that
last from 15 seconds up to 3 minutes
aerobic power - Answers - activities that require high levels of oxygen delivery to the
working muscles and last from 3-15 minutes
aerobic capacity - Answers - activities that stress the ability to maintain high
percentages of VO2 max for extended periods of time; 20 minutes or longer
