KINES 314 - FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
& ANSWERS
Why does VO2 max decrease with age? - Correct Answers -1. Decrease in maximum
heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output in addition to negative changes in other
components of the oxygen uptake and transport systems.
2. As individuals grow older, they usually become less physically active.
3 weeks of Bedrest vs 30 years of aging - Correct Answers -Similar bodily effects
After 30 years men experience a lower - Correct Answers -Stroke Volume
After 30 years women experience a lower - Correct Answers -a-VO2-difference
Why is training good for aging - Correct Answers -Higher VO2 max, higher HDL, lower
LDL, cause lower blood pressure, quicker reaction time (helps prevent falls)
Sarcopenia - Correct Answers -the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function that
comes with aging
What part of Fick equation changes the most from aging, causing the most impact -
Correct Answers -Max Heart Rate
What part of Fick equation changes the most from detraining, causing the most impact -
Correct Answers -Stroke Volume
Why does oxidative capacity of muscles decrease? - Correct Answers -They go from
Type IIa fibers to Type IIx fibers, aka less mitochondria in muscle fibers
How efficient are our muscles? - Correct Answers -20-25% efficient
How do we lose heat - Correct Answers -Conduction, Radiation, convection,
evaporation
Increased Translational Efficiency vs Increased Translational Capacity - Correct
Answers -increased short term mps rates vs. increased mps at rest
Recommendations for workout variables (per week) - Correct Answers -volume: 15
sets, frequency: 2-3 times, load: 1RM 70 <, RIR: 1-3 RPE: 7-9
