Exercise Physiology
1) A person exercises for 40 minutes at an intensity of 50% of MaxVO2.
Compared to the first 10 minutes of exercise, the last 10 minutes of exercise
affect his/her fat and carbohydrate utilization in which of the following
manners
a)
Fat Utilization: Decreases
Carbohydrate Utilization: Decreases
b)
Fat Utilization: Decreases
Carbohydrate Utilization: Increases
c)
Fat Utilization: Increases
Carbohydrate Utilization: Increases
d)
Fat Utilization: Increases
,Carbohydrate Utilization: Decreases Answer - d)
Fat Utilization: Increases
Carbohydrate Utilization: Decreases
The longer an aerobic activity the more the body relies on fat and less on
carbohydrates.
Exercise Physiology
2) To improve the cardiovascular fitness level of a 30 year old healthy adult
female with a RHR of 70, it is recommended that she begin aerobic exercise at
an intensity of:
a) 30-40% of heart rate resolve
b) 40-50% of heart rate reserve
c) 50-60% of heart rate reserve
d) 70-85% of heart rate reserve Answer - c) 50-60% of heart rate reserve
Health people start at 50-60% HRR, only extremely unfit people start lower, she
is not.
Exercise Physiology
,3) Generally, to improve the cardiovascular fitness level of a sedentary, healthy
adult female, she needs to exercise for a minimum aerobic overload duration of
does not include warm-up or cool down):
a) 5-10 minutes
b) 15-20 minutes
c) 25-30 minutes
d) 35-40 minutes Answer - b) 15-20 minutes
This is the minimum duration to receive a PHYSIOLOGICAL cardiovascular
effect.
Exercise Physiology
4) Bill Big and Harry Huge are training partners. harry, the smaller of the two
displays greater strength during the 1 RM Bench Press Test. Which of the
following might explain this occurrence?
a) an anatomical leverage advantage for Harry
b) greater synchronous recruitment of motor units by Harry
c) greater storage of glycogen in the muscles of Harry
d) a & b Answer - d) a & b
, an anatomical leverage advantage for Harry
&
greater synchronous recruitment of motor units by Harry
1 RM's rely on the ATP-CP system, this activity is very short, maximal activity;
Glycogen isn't used.
Exercise Physiology
5) Which of the following are associated with the neuromuscular junction.
Which of the following are associated with the neuromuscular junction:
a) acetylcholine
b) cholinesterase
c) motor end plates
d) all of the above Answer - d) all of the above
All components play a role at the neuromuscular junction in order to cause
muscular contraction.
