HES 302 TEST 1 UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
physical fitness is defined as
Answer:
a set of attributes or characteristics people have or achieve that relates to their
ability to perform physical activity
Question:
what does health related physical fitness consist of?
Answer:
those specific components of physical fitness that have a relationship with
good health
Question:
What is skill re-lated physical fitness?
Answer:
physical activity that focuses on balance, agility, coordination, power, and
speed
Question:
what are the 5 components of physical fitness?
Answer:
-muscular strength -muscular endurance -flexibility -body composition
-cardiorespiratory fitness (top priority from standpoint of preventing chronic
disease and improving health/quality of life)
Question:
What is cardiorespiratory endurance?
Answer:
the ability of the lungs, heart, and blood vessels to deliver adequate amounts
of oxygen to the cells to meet the demands of prolonged physical activity
Question:
muscular strength + muscular endurance =
Answer:
muscular fitness
Question:
body composition
Answer:
the ratio of body fat to lean body tissue, including muscle, bone, water, and
connective tissue such as ligaments, cartilage, and tendons
Question:
muscular endurance
Answer:
the ability of your muscles to perform physical tasks over a period of time
, without tiring
Question:
What are the skill related components of fitness?
Answer:
agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, speed
Question:
What is a dose re-sponse relationship?
Answer:
relationship between the size of an administered dose and the intensity of the
response produced
dose: amount of physical activity and/or exercise response: health outcome
Question:
Why should we measure health related fitness?
Answer:
-to be educated about where the person falls relative to standards and norms
for their sex and age -to provide data that will be helpful in the development of
exercise programs to address all fitness components -to collect a baseline and
follow up data to evaluate progress -to motivate the participants to establish
fitness goals -to determine if the individual is at risk for CV diseases
Question:
What are the principles of physical fitness assessments?
Answer:
1. specific assessment objective (clear purpose ensures selection of most
appropriate measure)
2. equipment calibration (device must be calibrated prior to testing to make
sure the reading will be accurate)
3. standardization (following very specific procedures to decrease variability
in a measure)
4. interpretation of issues (compare your results to a standard using a chart)
Question:
What is the gold standard?
Answer:
one test that is considered the criterion test that is a definite or true measure
Question:
What is a criterion-referenced standard?
Answer:
A method to compare data that involves a combination of normative data and
experts' judgment to identify a specific level of achievement
non-gaussian- all can theoretically succeed scores classified as adjectives
(good, poor, average)
Question:
What are norm-referenced standards?
Answer:
-Based on the Gaussian distribution-Bell Curve -Based on past performances of
groups of individuals with similar characteristics (age, gender). -Comparison
