HPEX 310 FINAL ACTUAL UPDATED
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Describe fuel utilization during exercise - CORRECT ANSWER - Low intensity, long
duration = fat fuel source
High intensity, short duration= carb fuel source
What does FITT stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER - Frequency, Intensity, Time, and
Type
What are the current health recommendations for Adults? - CORRECT ANSWER - 30
minutes of moderate exercise
Principle of Progression - CORRECT ANSWER - An extension of the overload principle,
the overload is increased gradually over the course of an exercise program
Principle of Specificity - CORRECT ANSWER - exercise training effect is specific to
those muscles involved in the activity
Principle of Recuperation - CORRECT ANSWER - Recovery periods between exercise
sessions allow adaptation to exercise stress
Principle of Reversibility - CORRECT ANSWER - the loss of fitness due to inactivity
Overload Principle - CORRECT ANSWER - Forcing the body under stress in order to
improve the physical fitness of the body
What are the benefits of exercise for aging populations? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Promote healthy mental status, improve memory, reduce back pain, reduce CVD
, Exercise response to altitude - CORRECT ANSWER - Altitude and air pollution reduce
the amount of oxygen that gets into the blood, meaning the body works harder
lower barometric pressure = less oxygen transported in blood, decreasing VO2max, and exercise
tolerance
Muscular strength vs muscular endurance - CORRECT ANSWER - Muscular strength is
the ability of your muscles to exert force while muscular endurance is the ability of your muscles
to contract repeatedly over time
Delayed onset muscle soreness vs acute muscle soreness - CORRECT ANSWER - AMS-
muscle discomfort/pain that develops during or immediately following an exercise session that
has been too long/intense.
DOMS: muscle discomfort/pain that develops within 24-48 hrs after an exercise session that is
excessive in duration or intensity.
shin splints - CORRECT ANSWER - refers to pain associated with injuries to the front of
the lower leg that is common among runners.
Cause: strain and irritation of one or several muscles and tendons located in the lower leg,
inflammation of tissue connecting the two bones of the lower leg (tibia, fibula).
RICE - CORRECT ANSWER - Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Cryokinetics - CORRECT ANSWER - rehabilitation technique involving ice application
followed by progressive active exercises.
