NAFC Fitness Assessment: Section 1 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS RATED A+
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - Through this high-energy
phosphate bond, metabolic processes are biochemically created and
energy is transported to the cells
ATP is used - when exercising for long periods of time so that the heart becomes better able to
deliver adequate amounts f oxygen to the organs and tissues
Daily tasks of sedentary nature - require minimal activity level and result in a lack of exercise
unless a purposeful routine is established
Aerobic Exercise - helps to create an efficient cardio-respiratory system
Cardio-respiratory endurance acts as an aid to - digestion
Anything that increases the heart rate - can improve caloric burn and metabolic functioning
Encourage clients to intensify their activity levels - gradually and with patience
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) - A temporary muscle soreness and stiffness that occur
24 to 48 hours after performing unaccustomed eccentric muscle contractions and last for three to
four days.
New exercises and routines - should be introduced gradually, at a level that is comfortable yet
challenging
VO2 Max Test - A test done to gauge cardiovascular fitness by assessing an athletes efficiency
of oxygen consumption and cardiac output. It is similar to a stress test.
VO2 Max is measured - listed as "milliliters (mL) of oxygen (O) used in one minute per
kilogram
(kg) of body weight"
VO2 max, or maximal oxygen uptake, refers to the
amount of ___________ that can be used during intense exercise - oxygen
Oxygen Uptake - defined by the amount of oxygen the body is conditioned to deliver throughout
its system
The more __________ that is available during maximal exercise, the more _______ can be
produced. - oxygen, ATP
