Nerves from the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system
directly influence activity at which of the following components of the electrical
conduction system of the heart? - ANSWER✔✔ SA node
Which of the following would be classified as a tactical athlete? - ANSWER✔✔
secret service agent
Which of the following characteristics is unique to a tactical athlete and therefore
not applicable to a sport athlete? - ANSWER✔✔ The outcome of the event is
commonly life or death
Which of the following characteristics is attributed to tactical athletes as compared
to sport athletes? - ANSWER✔✔ unexpected job demands
Which of the following is NOT a program design variable needing to be utilized in
the development of tactical strength and conditioning training programs? -
ANSWER✔✔ Motivation
Arterioles serve as the vessels that deliver blood to various organs in the body.
Which of the following categories of muscle provide arterioles with the ability to
divert blood to one tissue and away from another? - ANSWER✔✔ smooth muscle
Which of the following components of a needs analysis is unique to tactical
athletes and not commonly a component of the needs analysis performed on a sport
athlete? - ANSWER✔✔ illness analysis
A Marine is performing a graded exercise test in a laboratory. The equipment
indicates that her heart rate is 120bpm and her stroke volume is 0.1L per beat.
What is her cardiac output at this point in the test? - ANSWER✔✔ 12 liters per
minute
Cardiac output = HR * Stroke Volume
120bpm * 0.1L/beat = 12L/min
, A TSAC-F observes that a firefighter commonly performs overhead reaching
movements at the scene of a structural fire. What type of analysis is this considered
a part of? - ANSWER✔✔ movement analysis
A TSAC-F prescribes a Marine 3 sets of 10repetitions on the leg extension
machine. This machine incorporates a pulley with the axis of rotation that is off-
center making it a variable resistance machine. The TSAC-F informs the soldier
that this design will eliminate the "sticking point" of the exercise. What does he
mean? - ANSWER✔✔ the length of the resistance arm will change throughout the
range of motion
Which component of a triacylglycerol molecule will be used in the process of
gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose in the liver) during periods of low
carbohydrate ingestion in the diet or following exhaustive exercise? -
ANSWER✔✔ Glycerol
An air force pararescueman (PJ) is performing a 400m sprint as a part of today's
conditioning session. He must run his 400m sprint in under 1 minute 35 seconds.
What energy system is likely supplying the most energy for this activity? -
ANSWER✔✔ Anaerobic Glycolysis
In a vocational obstacle course, a combat medic has to hoist a patient on a stretcher
across a low wall. His bicep is concentrically contracting when _______,
isometrically contracting when _______, eccentrically contracting when
___________. - ANSWER✔✔ lifting the stretcher over the wall, running with the
stretcher with his arm flexed, lowering the stretcher down the wall.
Concentric - ANSWER✔✔ force developed by the contracting muscle exceeds the
load resisting movement (shortens)
Eccentric - ANSWER✔✔ load resisting the action is greater than the force
generated (lengthens)
Isometric - ANSWER✔✔ force produced by the active muscle equals the load
resisting movement (no change in length)
Which of the following energy systems do fatty acids contribute to? -
ANSWER✔✔ aerobic metabolism
