AEA Exam
____________ is defines as the maximum force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle group against
a resistance - Answer-muscular strength
what type of stretching activates the muscle spindles? - Answer-Ballistic Stretching
What are muscle spindles? - Answer-specialized receptors in the muscle that monitor muscle length
change and the speed of muscle length change
name the six skill- related components of fitness - Answer-1. agility
2.balance
3.coordination
4. power
5. reaction time
6. speed
What is the difference between max HR and HR reserve - Answer-max HR is the hight HR a person can
achieve, it is measured with a max HR test or estimated with 220-age
HR reserve is your maximal HR minus your resting HR
How does compression lower you HR in the water? - Answer-it acts like a compressor on the body
systems, causing a smaller venous load to the heart than in land exercise.. the heart has to work less to
return blood from the limbs back to your heart
,what are the factors that influence HR in the water - Answer-1. temperature
2. reduced gravity
3. compression
4. partial pressure
5. reduced body mass
What is the ACSM (2018) recommended frequency for resistance training? - Answer-2-3 days per week
for each major muscle group
define body composition - Answer-the body's relative percentage of fat as compared to lean tissue
(bone, muscles, organs)
list 5 benefits of regular exercise - Answer-1. improves physical appearance
2.increases functional capacity
3.improves strength and endurance
4. strengthens the walls of the blood vessels
5. improves efficiency of the nervous, lymph, and endocrine systems
when calculating exercise intensity, a popular method is the ______________ - Answer-Karvonen
Formula
What is the Karvonen Formula also known as - Answer-HR reserve method
_________ is a subjective method of assessing effort, strain, discomfort, and fatigue experienced during
exercise - Answer-Rate of Perceived Exertion
,Aside from RPE, what is another subjective method used to measure intensity - Answer-talk test
what are the 3 aerobic conditioning formats - Answer-1. continuous training
2.Interval training
3. Circuit training
The skeletal system provides our bodies with support, protection, and ____________ - Answer-structure
During the cardiac cycle, _______ is the active contraction of the heart muscle and _____ is the
relaxation of the heart muscle - Answer-systole
diastole
Which characteristic of muscle allows it to shorten and thicken - Answer-contractility
the _________ muscle group flexes the knee at the leg - Answer-hamstrings
what is a motor neuron - Answer-relay outgoing information for the CNS to the muscle cells
Describe the Valsalva Maneuver - Answer-holding your breath during the exertion phase of an exercise
creates an unequal pressure in the chest causing the BP to drop and decreasing blood flow to the heart
then resuming normal breathing causing a surge in blood to the heart causing a sharp increase in BP
Name the 5 systems of the body most actively involved in movement and exercise - Answer-1. skeletal
2. muscular
3. nervous
4. cardiovascular
5. respiratory
, In a muscle pair, the muscle that is actively contracting is referred to as the ________________, or
prime mover. - Answer-agonist
List 3 types of muscle tissues in the human body - Answer-1. visceral
2. cardiac
3. skeletal
the process by which bones grow in the body is called __________ - Answer-ossification
what are tendons? what are they made of? - Answer-they firmly anchor muscles to the bone and are
made of strong fibrous connective tissue
what is fascia - Answer-the covering of the muscles
what connects the fascia to the periosteum - Answer-tendons
what is the periosteum - Answer-the fibrous membrane that covers the bones
how many tendons do most muscles have - Answer-2 each one attaching to a different bone
what is the one attachment site that is stationary/ immobile - Answer-muscle origin
what is the attachment site that is more mobile - Answer-muscles insertion
what is the relaxed or stretched muscle - Answer-antagonist
