PAHL Exam 1 – Cedarville questions
with verified answers graded A+
Physiological adaptations associated with chronic endurance training - correct answer
✔✔aerobic power, increased oxygen carrying capacity, lower body fat, higher cardiac muscle
strength
3 basic energy systems used to replenish levels of ATP - correct answer ✔✔Phosphagen,
glycolytic and oxidative
Lactate - correct answer ✔✔substance created when glucose is broken down for energy during
intense exercise
Lactic Acid - correct answer ✔✔The body makes lactic acid when it is low in the oxygen it needs
to convert glucose into energy. Lactic acid buildup can result in muscle pain, cramps, and
muscular fatigue
Which system produces the most ATP? - correct answer ✔✔oxidative
Phosphagen - correct answer ✔✔short distance sprints
glycolitic - correct answer ✔✔mid distance sprints, shuttle runs
oxidative - correct answer ✔✔Long distance sprints, pace-tempo training, long slow distance
runs
, Vo2max - correct answer ✔✔The maximum amount of oxygen the body can take in and utilize
during one minute of high intensity exercise.
Lactate threshold - correct answer ✔✔The point in exercise at which lactate starts to
accumulate in the blood above resting levels.
Exercise economy - correct answer ✔✔The amount of energy required to maintain a consistent
pace
Muscle fiber type - correct answer ✔✔Another, albeit small, factor that can influence
endurance performance.
Compare fast and slow twitch muscle fibers - correct answer ✔✔slow twitch: slower, longer
endurance events
fast twitch: faster, shorter endurance events
3 measures of intensity for endurance training - correct answer ✔✔Heart rate
Rate of perceived exertion
Talk test
Physiological adaptations associated with chronic strength training - correct answer ✔✔lower
body fat, slows down aging, increase rate of force production, increase strength of connective
tissue
tempo - correct answer ✔✔Refers to the pace or rhythm at which a movement is performed
Progressive Overload - correct answer ✔✔The training stimulus needs to increase over time in
order for progress to continue. These increases can include changes in intensity, volume and/or
frequency
