Exercise Physiology Exam CCSP
Questions & Answers 2023/2024
During exercise of increasing intensity, the point at which blood lactate begins to accumulate above
resting levels is called the _______________. - ANSWER-Lactate threshold
Extreme muscle soreness results primarily after a bout of _________________ exercise.
Hint: a type of muscle contraction. - ANSWER-eccentric
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are referred to as _____________________________. - ANSWER-Stress
hormones?
sympothetic nerve system
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are released by the adrenal medulla and nervous system respectively.
They are the flight/fight hormones that are released when the body is under extreme stress. During
stress, much of the body's energy is used to combat imminent danger.
The actual shortening of muscle during muscle contraction is due to the action of __________________,
which enable the thin filaments to slide past the thick filaments. - ANSWER-Cross bridges
The fuel source most likely to limit endurance is ______________________. - ANSWER-Glycogen
The form of resistance training where you resist the movement of an object is referred to as.....
static-action training
plyometrics
,isokinetics
eccentric training - ANSWER-eccentric training
need to check
The increase in the number of individual muscle fibers is referred to as....
atrophy
hypertrophy
hyperplasia
hypoplasia - ANSWER-hyperplasia
hypertrophy is increase in size of the muscle cells not number
The basic difference between a power movement and a strength movement is.....
the distance moved
the force generated
, the speed of movement
the two are the same - ANSWER-the speed of movement
The increase in strength with resistance training results from....&10;
hypertrophy of the muscle
increased motor unit recruitment
synchronization
all of the above - ANSWER-all of the above
Fiber-type conversion (e.g., fast-twitch [FT] to slow-twitch[ST] conversion) has been shown to occur
under which of the following conditions?
cross-innervation of motor nerve to muscle fibers
chronic stimulation of FT motor units with low-frequency nerve stimulation
both a and b
