Claudication - CORRECT ANSWER-pain in the leg
is induced by exercise, usually because of an artery
obstruction.
Creatine Phosphate system - CORRECT ANSWER-
Small amounts of CP are stored within each cell.
Simple one-to-one trade off that allows for the rapid
production of ATP. ONLY for use during short bouts
of exercise. less that 10 seconds.
Anaerobic glycolysis - CORRECT ANSWER-No
oxygen required. NExt most immediate energy
source. break down carbs (glucose or glycogen) into
pyruvate. Used during medium-duration exercise. no
more than about 90 seconds.

Aerobic glycolysis (oxidative system) - CORRECT
ANSWER-Oxygen dependent. As exercise intensity
decreases allowing for longer duration activities, use
of the oxidative system increases. (Krebs cycle and
ETC). Produce ATP in the mitochondria of the cell--
requires oxygen. Lasts longer than 1-2 minutes.
What is VO2? - CORRECT ANSWER-The volume of
oxygen the body consumes. VO2 max is the highest
volume of oxygen the body can consume.
Define Stroke Volume - CORRECT ANSWER-the
volume of blood the heart ejects with each beat.
How does SV increase with workload? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Similar to HR, it increases as workload
increases but only up to ~40% to 60% of VO2max.
The percentages can be decreases in sedentary
individuals and increased with training.
What happens to resting HR as stroke volume
increases? - CORRECT ANSWER-it decreases, as

more blood being pumped per beat allows the heart
to beat less often.
What is cardiac output? - CORRECT ANSWER-a
measure of blood pumped per minute. The product
of stroke volume and heart rate.
What does Diastolic Blood pressure do during
exercise? - CORRECT ANSWER-Remains stable or
decreases slightly.
Physical Activity - CORRECT ANSWER-Any bodily
movement produced by contracting skeletal
muscles, with an increase in energy expenditure.
Exercise - CORRECT ANSWER-Planned,
purposeful, repetitive
Physical Fitness - CORRECT ANSWER-Attributes
or characteristics that individuals have achieved that
related to their ability to perform physical activity
3 metabolic pathways the body uses to creates ATP
- CORRECT ANSWER-1. Creatine Phosphate

2. anaerobic glycolysis
3. 0xidative system
What is rate pressure product? - CORRECT
ANSWER-serves as an estimate of myocardial
oxygen demand. Product of HR and Systolic BP. HR
X SBP
What is the Fick equation used to determine VO2
max? - CORRECT ANSWER-VO2max = HRmax X
SVmax X a-VO2 difference max (arteriovenous
oxygen difference)
What is the gold standard to measure
Cardiorespiratory fitness? - CORRECT ANSWER-
VO2 max during open circuit spirometry.
How does a submaximal exercise test work? -
CORRECT ANSWER-It estimates VO2 max from
the HR response to submaximal single stage or
graded exercise.
