Correct Detailed Answers (Verified Answers) |Already
Graded A+
True or false: Athletes can wait 15min or longer after a dynamic
warmup as effects last for up to 45 min - ANSWER-False,
individuals should start activity immediately after warmup and
should not wait longer than 15 min.
Which of the following is false regarding cool down?
A. It enables the body to return to a resting state
B. It should last 5-10min
C.Individuals who stretch during cooldown tend to have fewer
problems with muscle soreness
D. Most teams place equal emphasis on both the warmup and
the cooldown - ANSWER-D.
Define cardiorespiratory endurance - ANSWER-Ability to
perform whole body, large-muscle activities for extended
periods of time
,2|Page
Define VO2 max - ANSWER-Maximal aerobic capacity, the
greatest rate at which oxygen can be taken in & used during
exercise
How many minutes does it take for heart rate to plateau at a
given workload? - ANSWER-2-3
True or false: the greater the rate of intensity of activity the
greater the oxygen consumption - ANSWER-True
The VO2max of most college-age athletes would fall into the
range of: - ANSWER-45-60 ml/kg/min
What are the 3 factors that determine the maximal rate at which
oxygen can be used? - ANSWER-External respiration
(ventilatory process/pulmonary function)
Gas transport (cardiovascular system, heart, blood vessels,
blood)
Internal respiration (use of oxygen by the cells to produce
energy)
,3|Page
Of the three factors listed above, which is the most limiting on
overall rate of oxygen consumption? - ANSWER-Gas transport
via cardiovascular system.
The rate of oxygen consumption can be indirectly estimated by
measuring ________ - ANSWER-Heart rate
__________ is the primary determinant of the maximal rate of
oxygen consumption possible. - ANSWER-Cardiac output
Stroke volume plateaus at which % of maximal heart rate? -
ANSWER-40%
Describe training effect as it relates to cardiac output -
ANSWER-As the heart adapts to exercise, heart rate will go
down and stroke volume will increase. The heart therefore
becomes more efficient because it is able to pump more blood
with each stroke.
True or false, higher VO2max results in increased ability to
resist fatigue - ANSWER-True
, 4|Page
What are the 3 energy systems found in muscle tissue that are
used to produce ATP? - ANSWER-1. ATP system
2. Glycolytic (anaerobic metabolism)
3. Oxidative (aerobic metabolism)
True or False, most activities use both the anaerobic and aerobic
systems in combination and all activities will initially utilize the
glycolytic system. - ANSWER-True
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that
young healthy individuals train at either __________ or
_________ in order to improve cardiorespiratory endurance -
ANSWER-70-79 % of max HR, >80% of max HR
What is the advantage of using aerobic activities such as running
or swimming, vs intermittent activities like squash or
basketball? - ANSWER-It is easy to slow down or speed up the
pace and adjust to training needs to maintain a specific target
heart rate.
What is the recommended time of workout/activity with the
heart rate elevated to training levels in order to see improvement
in the average person? What is the minimum time recommended
