According to the required Chapter by Abernathy, the successful maturation of our
discipline (Exercise Science) will involve which of the following. - Answers - Exercise
Science should become more interdisciplinary such that advances in knowledge are

-Changes that occur as an accommodation to or adjustment to
-Environment
-Stimuli
-Stressors
,Adaptive physiology includes - Answers - 1) inherent adaptations such as those related
to development, aging, and pathophysiological conditions
2) adaptations to the external environment such as those occurring with exercise,
microgravity, hypoxia, hypo- and hyperbaria, and hypo-and hyperthermicconditions
afferent - Answers - sensory pathways, receiving information, sensory feedback,
towards spinal cord from periphery or towards brain from spinal cord
After 6 weeks of running 1 mile per day, my resting heart rate has decreased. Which is
the best statement to describe this change? - Answers - This is a chronic adaptation to
exercise that may be related to an increased stroke volume.
Along which structure do action potentials travel to inner regions of the muscle cell? -
Answers - t-tubule
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) - Answers - Developed as a "unique
blend of physical education, medicine, and physiology"
-Provides significant public outreach
-Works to shape public policy
Among the early Greek Scholars, who stated: ?If we could give every individual the right
amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have
found the safest way to health.? - Answers - Hippocrates
Among the following, which provides ATP most quickly? - Answers - Creatine
Phosphate
anaerobic glycolysis - Answers - provides 2 ATP and byproducts that enter the other
aerobic energy pathways in the mitochondria (krebs)
Applied research - Answers - application of the practices of basic science to an
immediate practical problem
As a coach, you are developing a unique training system for the sport of golf. Which of
the following strategies should you adopt based on evidence presented in class. -
Answers - Rather than teaching a new skill at the practice range and then immediately
testing it in a round of golf on the same day, you have your athlete learn the new skill at
the practice range and then wait until the next day to test it on the course.
avulsion fracture - Answers - excessive force of bone on muscle breaks off a piece of
bone where the muscle is attached
axon - Answers - carries nerve impulses to terminal fibers which, in a motor unit, are
connected to muscle fibers at a synapse
, Barefoot runners tend to run - Answers - with the forefoot or midfoot coming into contact
with the ground first.
Based on the ACSM position stand you were asked to read (abstract only), in what
category of individuals is the incidence of both acute myocardial infarction and sudden
death the greatest? - Answers - People with the least amount of habitual physical
activity
Basic research - Answers - pure or fundamental research that aims to expand the
knowledge base without connection to a practical problem. The practical application of
the new knowledge might be determined later
Bi-articular muscles - Answers - cross 2 joints
Biceps - Answers - elbow flexion
Biological fitness - Answers - the abilityto survive and reproduce. Darwinian. Survival of
the fittest. The ability to put your genes into the next generation
Biomechanics - Answers - The study of the human body at rest and in motion using
principles and concepts from physics, mechanicsand engineering
