KAAP 180 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
Professional cycling has had much difficulty with cheating. Athletes and team doctors
have discovered a variety of unnatural and illegal ways to improve sport performance.
Cycling is highly aerobic which means oxygen is required to produce energy. If you
have more red blood cells, you can carry more oxygen to working muscles. There are
two methods of illegal blood doping to increase the number of red blood cells.
1. A few weeks before competition you would have some blood removed into a into a
bag like when people give blood. You freeze the blood. Your body will pretty quickly
replace the blood to normal levels. Before the race, you thaw and re infuse the blood.
Now you (the athlete) have more than normal amounts of red blood cells. You can now
carry more oxygen to yoru working muscles and have an unfair advantage.
2. You can also inject a hormone called erythropoetin (EPO) to stimulate the bone
marrow to make more r - Answers - endocrine & cardiovascular
Sometimes we we think about physiology at different levels that range from small to
large in scale. From molecules to cells, to tissues, to organs, to systems. What is this
organizational scheme called? - Answers - vertical integration
A field hockey player has a concussion. After a few weeks of recovery, her balance and
reaction time are still not good. Select two subdisciplines below that are most likely to
provide useful information about this problem. - Answers - athletic training
motor behavior
What physiological system does the Achilles tendon belong to?
No naming strategy is perfect. For example, bone marrow is where red blood cells are
made but bone is not considered part of the cardiovascular system.
In our class, we have named the main physiological systems that we will focus on
throughout the semester. However, we might need to modify or combine them at times.
Tendon is a tissue that connects muscles to bones. Among the modified system names
below, where would you categorize the Achilles tendon? - Answers - musculoskeletal
The right amount of physical activity (moderate amount and intensity) can help your
immune system to fight illness. - Answers - true
Some athletes have drink beet juice (yes, juice from beets) to improve their endurance
performance. Beet juice is known to contain high levels of a molecule called nitric oxide
(NO) which may improve blood flow from lungs to working muscles by causing the
dilation (widening) of blood vessels. Select the pair below that includes the most related
subdiscipline and physiological system. - Answers - sports nutrition / cardiovascular
Physics is a parent discipline of biomechanics. - Answers -
, You decide to train for a marathon. After about 6 weeks of successful training you notice
that your resting heart rate is lower when you wake up each this morning. Is this a
chronic adaptation or an acute response? - Answers - chronic
One of our former graduate students in KAAP did research on the amount of
mechanical force and head acceleration that results from different types of kicks in the
martial art called tae quan dao. This research can be best categorized as... - Answers -
biomechanics
An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or
reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen ... In rehabilitation, a person who
has survived a stroke and has some paralysis sometimes has to learn new ways of
performing activities of daily living (ADLs). They might see an occupational therapist to
get help with learning new movements. What subdiscipline of exercise science is most
related to this topic? - Answers - motor behavior (motor learning)
When a person lifts weights (resistance exercise training) to increase the size of muscle
cells (which increases muscle size and strength), growth hormone and testosterone are
involved. What two systems are involved in this? - Answers - endocrine system
muscle system
In research, there are ways to measure how fast a person can process information and
respond to it correctly. These are reaction time tests that involve decision making.
Example research topics include:
Older adults and driving ability.Comparisons of beginner and experienced airline
pilots.The effects of prolonged sleep loss on military personnel.
What subdiscipline of exercise science is this best aligned with? - Answers - motor
behavior
One of your readings names the two basic components of the study of exercise
physiology. They are the __________ response of the body to exercise in all its forms
and the adaptation of the body's systems to repeated or ____________ exercise, often
called exercise training - Answers - acute/chronic
endocrine - Answers - homone
energy - Answers - enzyme
In the PBS video about the marathon, the speaker discusses several pieces of
information about why humans are well equipped for running. The majority of his
support for this position comes from which discipline? - Answers - evolutionary biology
This is a headline from 2022. "Heavy smog blankets Beijing ahead of Olympics as
authorities pledge to clean up the air." Considering the chapter on Exercise Physiology
by Kenney and others, how would you categorize this topic? - Answers - Environmental
