100% SOLVED!!
1. Name the four ATP energy systems and how long they ATP-CP - 1-10 sec's at
provide energy for. very high intensity \nGly-
colytic - high intensity 10
secs - 2-3 min\nOxidative
- mid to low intensity +2
min\nFatty Acid Oxidation
- low intensity +2 min
2. How many units of ATP does each ATP energy system ATP-CP: 1 unit of ATP/ unit
deliver? of CP
Glycolytic: 2-3 ATP/unit of
glucose
Oxidative: 38 ATP/ unit of
glucose
Fatty Acid Oxidation: 100
ATP/unit of fatty acid
3. What is EPOC? excess post-exercise oxy-
gen consumption
4. What is the lactate threshold? The point at which the aer-
obic system cannot supply
enough ATP for the needs
of the body
5. What type of fuel does the ATP-CP energy system use? Stored ATP
6. what type of fuel does the glycolytic system use? blood glucose, muscle
glycogen
7. what type of fuel does the oxidative system use?

blood glucose, muscle
glycogen
8. what type of fuel does the fatty acid oxidation system fatty acids in the blood
use? stream
9. What is the work to rest ratio for ATP-CP interval train- 1:3-1:6
ing?
10. What is the work to rest ratio for glycolitic system 1:2-1:5
interval training?
11. What is the work to rest ratio for oxidative system 1: .5 - 1:1
interval training?
12. Why do you not use work relief to train ATP-CP system? Adequate rest is needed
to replenish ATP in the
cells
13. Why would you use work relief to train glycolytic sys- Blocks ATP replenishing of
tem? ATP
Body relies on lactic acid
14. Oxidative interval training, why rest relief? If lactic acid not cleared
from the system the gly-
colic system is less able to
provide energy therefore
giving a stronger training
stimulus to the oxidative
system
15. How much rest should be between ATP-CP training 5-10 min
interval sets?

16. How much rest should be between glycolytic training 10-12 min
interval sets?
17. How much rest should be between oxidative training 10-15 min
interval sets?
18. What is the definition of energy? The body's ability to do
work
19. What is anaerobic metabolism? without oxygen
20. What is aerobic metabolism? with oxygen
21. What is the function of the right atrium and right Collect blood from the
ventricle? tisues and move it through
the lungs
22. What is the function of the left atrium and left ventri- receive blood from the
cle? lungs and moves it to the
tissues of the body and
back to right side of heart
23. Veins carry blood into or away from the heart? into
24. Arteries carry blood into or away from the heart? away
25. Oxygenated blood leaves the heart via the? aorta
26. How many liters of blood typically circulate in an adult 5L
every minute?
27. Blood pressure is the result of? Blood being pumped out
of the heart and pressing
against the arterial walls

28. What is an average resting blood pressure? 120/80 (mmHg)
29. What is name of function of the top number with systolic, the pressure ex-
regards to blood pressure? erted on the walls of the
arteries as the heart con-
tracts
30. What is name of function of the bottom number with diastolic, the pressure ex-
regards to blood pressure? erted on the walls of the
arteries as the heart relax-
es
31. During exercise what happens to systolic blood pres- Rises quickly to about 200
sure? mmHg then levels off
32. During moderate exercise what happens to the dias- remains relatively stable
tolic blood pressure?
33. During what kind exercise might blood pressure spike weightlifting as the mus-
to higher levels then 200 mmHg? cular contractions com-
press the arteries and re-
sist blood flow
34. Aprox average resting heart rate? 72bpm
35. Where is the carotid artery and what can it be used to neck below jaw line, blood
measure? pressure
36. Where is the radial artery and what can it be used to wrist, blood pressure
measure?
37. What is stroke volume? the amount of blood that
the left ventricle ejects in
one beat
