HPE 1 Test – Study Guide and Practice Questions Review
Aerobic Exercise:
a. Refers to any exercise that requires oxygen.
b. Is any continuous exercise involving repetitive use of large muscle groups.
c. Involves quick bursts of speed and strength.
d. Both a. and b. - ANS ✔✔B
Muscle Development Exercises:
a. An activity designed to improve the functioning ability of the muscles that control body
movement and posture
b. The ability of skeletal muscle to contract repetitively or to maintain a contraction for a long
period of time
c. The ability of a skeletal muscle to exert maximal amount of force during a single contraction -
ANS ✔✔A
Overload Principle:
a. A principle stating that too much strain on a body can result in injury or death
b. A conditioning process that uses an exercise workload greater than is normally performed to
cause the body's systems to adapt and enable the body to function at a higher level
c. A conditioning effect that acknowledges the variation in the conditioning response from
exercise due to a person's physical, psychological, and heredity makeup - ANS ✔✔B
Flexibility is...
a. Being able to move a joint through the full range of motion without discomfort or pain
b. Lowers your risk for injury
c. Ensures efficient body movements
, d. All of the above - ANS ✔✔D
Performance fitness:
a. The appropriate functioning body that allows quality living and longevity
b. The ability to perform normal daily activities
c. The ability to successfully participate in sporting activities that require coordination, agility,
and balance - ANS ✔✔C
List the four general categories of exercise and the benefits each has to different parts of the
body. - ANS ✔✔Aerobic (develops cardiorespiratory system, prevents heart disease and
improves immune system), muscle-development (control movement and maintain posture,
weight training), flexibility (improve or maintain joint range of motion, reduced risk of injury,
more efficient movement), anaerobic (develop performance fitness such as speed, agility, and
strength)
Physical Fitness

and balance - ANS ✔✔B
Cool-down
a. Is the fourth step in an exercising session
b. Is designed to bring the body back to near resting levels
c. All of the above - ANS ✔✔B
Health fitness
