NCSF Personal Training Unit 3 Questions
and Answers 2024 LATEST UPDATE
ATP - ANSWER Which of the following energy sources fuels maximal-effort muscular work lasting 1-3
seconds, such as a vertical jump?
3rm back squat - ANSWER The phosphagen system would be the primary energy system utilized during
which of the following
lactate - ANSWER Which of the following can be used as fuel by various tissues, including the heart, and
helps to buffer tissue acidity during anaerobic training?
fat burning zone - ANSWER
Intense work requires carbohydrate metabolism over fat, Adequate carbohydrate intake spares bodily
proteins from being pulled from muscles, Carbohydrates are the limiting factor for central fatigue -
ANSWER carbohydrates are vital for performance because
the glycolytic system - ANSWER supports moderate-intensity work lasting up to 90 seconds.
Energy systems interact and transition - ANSWER smoothly to continue performing work rather than
working in a segregated fashion.
excessive post-exercise oxygen consumption - ANSWER relates to the increase in oxygen consumption
and caloric expenditure for hours following strenuous activity due to an oxygen deficit created during the
bout.
hydrogen ions - ANSWER Ischemia and the burning sensation that progressively occurs at the end of an
anaerobic set is due to the accumulation of ____ within the working tissues.
Rest Period - ANSWER are used between sets of exercise
, recovery period - ANSWER are used in between separate exercise bouts to allow for adaptations.
immediate energy - ANSWER ATP and phosphagen system
growth hormone - ANSWER promotes anabolic activity, protein synthesis, and carbohydrate sparing in
response to stressful exercise.
Glucagon - ANSWER functions to help regulate blood glucose levels by stimulating glycogen breakdown
in the liver.
Testosterone - ANSWER is suppressed during high-intensity aerobic activity but increased with resistance
training.
Cortisal - ANSWER regulates numerous metabolic/cardiovascular functions and helps manage blood
pressure; it is released in response to exercise stress and low blood glucose concentrations to liberate
energy
Ephinephrine - ANSWER increases blood circulation, ventilation and carbohydrate metabolism to prepare
muscles for exertion in response to a perceived stress (a.k.a. adrenaline)
improved neural efficiency, vascular function, oxygen extraction, cardiac function, and musculoskeletal
function - ANSWER physiological impacts of eustress caused by hormonal responses.
increased platelet adhesion, cortisol production, blood LDL and triglyceride levels and susceptibility to
low-grade inflammation, and loss of the protein-sparing mechanism - ANSWER Identify at least two
physiological impacts of distress caused by hormonal responses
Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland, liver, pancreas, ovaries, testes, adrenal
glands, and placenta (during pregnancy) - ANSWER organs or glands included in the endocrine system.
Hemoglobin - ANSWER is found in red blood cells and functions to transport oxygen to all tissues?
