NS 1410 EXAM 4 UPDATED QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS.
Physical Activity - ANS an muscle movement that increases energy expenditure
Leisure-time physical activity - ANS any activity unrelated to a person's occupation
Flexibility - ANS capacity of joints to move through a full range of motion
Musculoskeletal fitness and endurance - ANS the ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly
without becoming exhausted
Strength - ANS the ability of muscles to work against resistance
Cardiorespiratory fitness - ANS the ability of the CV system and lungs to sustain effort over
time
Body composition - ANS amount of bone, muscle, and fat tissue in the body
Aerobic exercise - ANS exercise that involves the repetitive movement of large muscle
groups, increasing the body's use of oxygen and promoting cardiovascular health

,Resistance Training - ANS exercise in which our muscles act against resistance
Stretching - ANS exercise in which muscles are gently lengthened using slow, controlled
movements
Regular physical activity reduces the risk of - ANS heart disease, osteoporosis, colon cancer,
stroke, and high blood pressure
Heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure increase - ANS HDL
Obesity maintains - ANS lean body mass
Type 2 diabetes - ANS enhances the action of insulin
Benefits of physical activity - ANS improves sleep patterns
improves immune functions
reduces anxiety, stress, and depression
Nearly half (48%) of the US adults do NOT get sufficient - ANS physical activity
How much percent of adults admit to doing no leisure physical activity - ANS 23
How much percent of high school kids admit to doing no physical activity - ANS 24% girls

, For substantial health benefits, adults should do a minimum of: 150min moderate or 75min
intense
For more extensive health benefits, adults should increase their aerobic activity level
Adults should participate in muscle strengthening activities that are moderate or vigorous 2
days/week
A sound physical fitness program - ANS Meets your personal goals
Is fun
Includes variety and consistency
Appropriately overloads the body
Includes a warm-up and cool-down period
A sound physical fitness program appropriately - ANS overloads the body
Overload principle - ANS additional physical demands of the body to improve fitness (too
much exertions not recommended)
The FITT principle can be used to determine - ANS appropriate overload
A sound physical fitness program includes a - ANS warm up and cool-down period (5-10min)
Warm up exercises prepare the muscles for exertion by - ANS increasing blood flow and
temperature
Cool down - ANS prevents injuries and reduces muscle soreness
Calculating Maximum heart rate - ANS 220-your age
