KAAP180 FINAL QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS
In the book chapter titled Physical Activity by Strand and Rodahl, how much more food
did they estimate would be needed for a person who is working(or exercising) at
maximal capacity, compared to at rest? - Answers - four times as much food
In their chapter on physical activity, Astrand and Rodahl stated that "During exercise,
many of the hormone-producing glands are involved in the regulation of metabolic and
circulatory functions." select the three physiological systems below that are best aligned
with this statement(he regraded this one, so a combination of any of these is correct) -
Answers - cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, energy
In table 1 from the chapter on physical activity, organs were grouped as either
locomotor organs or service organs. According to this organizational scheme, how
would you categorize the heart? - Answers - service organs
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 - cardiovascular and endocrine
Sometimes 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 sub disciplines below that are most likely to
provide useful information about this problem. - Answers - athletic training and 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
Which statement below is most consistent with the results of the study by Gottschall and
Palmer on the bike to run transition in triathlon? - Answers - pedalling faster in an easier
gear just before you switch to running will result in a faster running speed
Over the summer your friend switched to something called a Paleo diet. She says that
she has more energy and that she has been able to lose weight without being hungry.
She wants you to consider the Paleo diet. What type of evidence is this? - Answers -
anecdotal
Some research hypotheses are really hard to test in humans. For example, three major
muscles cross the knee joint and produce force on the patellar tendon. We cannot really
take the living human apart to directly measure how much force ones from each muscle.
Which research approach below would be useful for learning about the contributions
from individual muscles? - Answers - computer modeling
Which of the studies below is the best example of applied science? - Answers -
Physicians do not know how many platelet rich plasma injections are needed for the
best recovery. This problem is investigated in two groups of mice that either get one
shot or two shots per week after a muscle injury
Early studies demonstrated that living at high altitude can improve performance in
endurance events like running. The researchers then wanted to learn the reason why
this would happen. They hypothesized an increased number of red blood cells. What
term best describes this type of research? - Answers - mechanistic
In peer-review process, which decides whether a paper will be published? - Answers -
the editor
In the reading assignment about how to read a scientific article, which goal was
emphasized in the text. - Answers - To become more efficient at reading scientific
papers by learning where certain information is located
Which of the following sub disciplines of exercise science is best aligned with the
research paper about triathlon transition T2? - Answers - biomechanics
In the results section of a scientific paper you can expect the author to explain whether
the hypothesis was supported by the study and how the new findings fit within the
current understanding of the topic. True or False - Answers - false
, Consider the equation below and select the correct statement about the kinematics of
running.
Running speed= stride frequency x stride length - Answers - if a stride frequency
increases, running speed can stay the same if the runner decreases their stride length
Today, the discipline of exercise science (or kinesiology) is not focused solely on peak
athletic performance. Rather, it examines the function of the human body throughout the
lifespan and in response to varying levels of physical activity, specific exercise training
practices and different modalities of physical rehabilitation or injury/disease prevention.
By studying peak performance and training practices, we can gain knowledge that is
applicable to clinical conditions. True or False - Answers - True
In chapter one- physical activity from Astrand and Rodahl(1977) the authors describe
the evolution of the human body for mobility beginning with single cells organisms and
finishing with our organ systems. What term below is best represents this scheme of
organization? - Answers - vertical integration
You are interested in the effects of anxiety on injury rates in competitive sports. Which
two sub disciplines are most likely to provide the information that you are looking for? -
Answers - -athletic training/sports medicine
- exercise and sport psychology
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
Which of the following items below is one of the main components of the endocrine
system? - Answers - hormones
Based on the graph below, one could conclude that prior bicycling cadence can affect
stance time immediately after the transition but this affect will wear off as the run
progresses. True or False (AQ1 go view graph) - Answers - True
The figure below is from Gottschall & Palmer(2002). Select the correct interpretations of
the figures below.(AQ1 go view graph) - Answers - -the independent variable is the
same in the two graphs
-knowing these two dependent variables would allow a person to make a conclusion
about running speed
-if we multiply a stride length of 3 m/stride by a stride frequency of 1.5 stride/s we will
get a running speed of 4.5 m/s
1The figure below is from Gottschall & Palmer(2002). Select the correct interpretations
of the figure below. Be sure that your interpretations are only based on the data in the
figure shown.(AQ1 go view graph) - Answers - -1throughout the 16 laps of running,
