KNR 164 STUDY GUIDE EXAM 1 | COMPREHENSIVE KINESIOLOGY REVIEW,
PRACTICE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 2026/2027
Morbidity - ANS ✔✔the relative incidence of a particular disease
Mortality - ANS ✔✔The rate of death
Exercise Science - ANS ✔✔an umbrella term used to describe the study of numerous aspects of physical
activity, exercise, sport, and athletic performance that have the common characteristic of movement and
the adaptations that occur as a result of physical activity and regular exercise
Sub-disciplines in ES - ANS ✔✔-Exercise physiology
-Clinical exercise physiology
-Biomechanics
-Nutrition
-Psychology
-Athletic Training and Sports -Medicine
-Motor behavior
Harvard fatigue lab - ANS ✔✔1st exercise physiology lab in the US founded by Sargent (considered the
1st personal trainer) was a research centre designed to investigate the physiological, sociological and
psychological impacts of fatigue caused by daily activities, and those on the conditions that industry
workers faced at the time. Helped to underline the degree of exercise science
Blair (1989) study demonstrated link between moderate PA and risk of death - ANS ✔✔Found that
moderate PA could decrease the risk of death from all causes by 58%. From this point forward exercise
science professionals were actively involved in both studying and promoting the role of exercise in
health.
Certification - ANS ✔✔A process whereby individuals demonstrate knowledge and proficiency in
content, skills, and abilities of the specific areas for which they are intending to work (school meets
standards where and individuals is receiving their certification ex. Doctorate in Physical Therapy from an
accredited University)
Licensure - ANS ✔✔Granting of permission by an official or legal authority (usually government agency)
to an individual or organization to engage in a practice or activity that would otherwise be illegal (ex.
State Licensure for PT, need proper education curriculum from an accredited university before taking the
exams, each state is different)
Registration - ANS ✔✔Documentation of professional qualification information relevant to government
licensing regulation (Being registered with an organization APTA, documentation)
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) - ANS ✔✔Additional professional education that is required to
maintain certification, licensure, or registration (ex. CPR courses, being active in studies, being involved
in certified organizations)
