Answers
Who said "If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not
too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health."? - correct answers
✔✔Hippocrates
With what are Physical Education and Sociology of Sport associated? (Exercise Science or
Kinesiology) - correct answers ✔✔Kinesiology
What does the Journal of Applied Physiology publish? - correct answers ✔✔Original papers that
deal with diverse areas of research in applied physiology, especially those papers emphasizing
adaptive and integrative mechanisms
What does Adaptive physiology include?
What does Integrative physiology include? - correct answers ✔✔1) a) inherent adaptations such
as those related to development, aging, and pathophysiological conditions and b) adaptations
to the external environment such as those occurring with exercise, microgravity, hypoxia, hypo-
and hyperbaria, and hypo- and hyperthermic conditions
2) a) horizontal integration across organ systems and b) vertical integration from molecule to
cell to organ. In all areas of applied physiology, the use of cutting-edge techniques including
molecular and cellular biology is strongly encouraged.
What are the 4 basic elements of Kinesiology?
Why are these 4 basic elements integrated? - correct answers ✔✔1) Biochemistry,
biomechanics, motor control, and physiology
2) To allow kinesiologists to address a wide variety of questions
,In recent years, how has the field of Kinesiology evolved? - correct answers ✔✔Toward less
emphasis on sport and a much stronger focus on an understanding of human movement and
the role of physical activity and exercise in health and disease
Why is Exercise Science all about elite physical performance?
Why is it not? - correct answers ✔✔1) No because elite athletes or performers represent only a
small percentage of our population
2) Yes because studying elite performance, high level adaptations and performance in
environmental extremes has taught us much of what we know about human physiology
What is our discipline?
What is the principle function of a discipline?
What is the principle function of a profession? - correct answers ✔✔1) Kinesiology
2) To develop a coherent body of knowledge that describes, explains and predicts key
phenomena from the domain of interest
3) Attempt to improve the conditions of society by providing a regulated service in which
practices and educational or training programs are developed in accordance with knowledge
available from one or more relevant disciplines
What do common occupational therapy interventions include? - correct answers ✔✔Helping
children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people
recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing
physical and cognitive changes
What is an indicator of a strong discipline or profession? - correct answers ✔✔Its
representation by a professional organization or a society
With what are societies usually accompanied? - correct answers ✔✔Journals
, What is the role of the American College of Sports Medicine in Exercise Science? - correct
answers ✔✔1) Developed as a "unique blend of physical education, medicine, and physiology"
2) Provides significant public outreach
3) Works to shape public policy
-Recommendations, position stands, comments; Provides expertise on important topics
4) Disseminates scholarly research
What are sources of information or evidence? - correct answers ✔✔1) Anecdotal
2) Marketing Claims
3) Testimonial or Endorsement
4) Scientific Evidence
5) Expert Opinion
What is the difference between testimonial and endorsement? - correct answers ✔✔The term
"testimonial" most commonly applies to the sales-pitches attributed to ordinary citizens,
whereas "endorsement" usually applies to pitches by celebrities
What is objectivity in science? - correct answers ✔✔A value that informs how science is
practiced and how scientific truths are discovered; It is the idea that scientists, in attempting to
uncover truths about the natural world, must aspire to eliminate personal biases, a priori
commitments, emotional involvement
What are the characteristics of scientists? - correct answers ✔✔1) Doubters
2) Objective and Impartial (they do not have any personal bias toward the observations they
make)
3) Deal with facts and make conclusions based on data (they do not make personal decisions
about what is good or what is bad)
4) Not satisfied with isolated facts (seek to put things known into an orderly system)
