AFAA Questions with Correct Answers
AFAA 5 Questions
1. What is the purpose of this exercise?
2. Are you doing that effectively?
3. Does the exercise create any safety concerns?
4. Can you maintain proper alignment and form for the duration of the exercise?
5. For whom is the exercise appropriate or inappropriate?
How can interval training improve aerobic performance?
increase degree of aerobic pattern
faster, minimizes boredom of continuous
3 Physiological adaptations that occur to improve exercise performance and
how or why improvement occurs?
1. increased maximal blood flow
2. increased oxygen delivery and Carbon dioxide removal
3. increased maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power
ATP
energy currency of muscle
Adenosine Triphosphate
Anaerobic pathway:
fuel soruce
intensity
duration
3 examples
,Creatine phosphate
high
brief 15-20secs
sprint jump throw lift
Lactic acid system:
fuel source
intensity
duration
3 examples
glucose
medium-high
45-90 secs
tennis rallies
gymnast prolonged sprints
aerobic pathway:
fuel source
intensity
duration
3 examples
carbs, fat, protein
low to moderate intensity
theoretically endless until all glycogen and fat stores are used
walking, biking, running
steady state
,oxygen uptake has reached an adequate legal to meet the oxygen demand of tissues
EPOC
excess post oxygen consumption
oxygen debit referring to oxygen uptake remaining elevated above resisting levels for several
mins during exercise recovery
Oxygen deficit
a period in which the level of oxygen is below what is needed for atp
anaerobic threshold
the point at which the body can no longer meet its demand for oxygen and aerobic
metabolism is accelerated
aerobic capacity
ability to remove oxygen from air and transfer it thru lungs and blood to working muscles
lactic adid
by product of anaerobic metabolism of glucose or glycogen in the muscle
stroke volume
the volume of blood ejected by each ventricle of the heart during a single systole
cardiac output
the volume of the blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute
venous return
the pumping action of the muscles in the extremeties and respirator system along with
vasoconstriction to move oxygen back to the heart
, blood pooling
condition caused by ceasing vigorous exercise too abruptly so blood remains in the
extremities and may not be delivered quickly enough to heart and brain
vital capacity
the greatest volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after the deepest inspiration
valsalva maneuver
holding breath agaist a closed glottis forming unequal pressure in the chest cavity, decreasing
blood flow to heart and brain
blood pressure norms
120/80 normal
140/90 hypertensive
joint
2/more bones articulate/meet where the movement occurs
ligament
connects bone to bone
tendon
muscle to bone
cartilage
white, semi opaque fibrous connective tissue that cushions and prevents wear on particular
surfaces
Anterior/posterior
