CanFit Pro FIS Theory Exam UPDATED
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
ATP-CP System (Max effort - very short)
Lactic Acid or Glycolytic System (Hard effort)
Aerobic or Oxidative (Steady state effort) - CORRECT ANSWER 3 energy systems
Cardiorespiratory capacity
Muscular capacity
Flexibility - CORRECT ANSWER three primary components of fitness
• Decreased resting Heart Rate
• Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease
• Improved endurance
• Increased stroke volume & cardiac output - CORRECT ANSWER 4 benefits of training the
cardivoscular system
_____________ provides the ability to do physical work or perform a physical task. -
CORRECT ANSWER Energy
A stable state where all systems are in balance and the demand for energy is met by available
energy. - CORRECT ANSWER homeostasis
sarcomere - CORRECT ANSWER The smallest functional (contracting) unit of a muscle
isotonic concentric - CORRECT ANSWER muscle contracts with enough force to shorten the
muscle
isotonic eccentric - CORRECT ANSWER muscle lengthens as it exerts force
,isometric - CORRECT ANSWER static contraction - muscle exerts force to counteract
opposing force, no change in muscle length
false, the first few weeks give gains due to neural adaptation - CORRECT ANSWER true or
false - the gains made over the first few weeks of muscle conditioning are due to increased
muscle fibre size.
resting length, potential cross bridges - CORRECT ANSWER A muscle can generate its
greatest force at its ________________ _____________ because it's myofilaments are in a
position where their ______________ are exposed.
faster, slower.
So, always do the concentric part of the movement faster, but slow down the eccentric movement
to get the muscle closer to exerting its maximal force. - CORRECT ANSWER IN terms of the
speed of movement, __________________ contractions exert maximal force in a concentric
movement, whereas ____________ contractions exert more force in an eccentric movement.
increase in muscle fibre size
increase in contractile strength
improved muscular coordination and recruitment
improved tendon and ligament strength
increased bone strength (density) - CORRECT ANSWER 5 benefits of muscle conditioning
O - prevent osteoporosis
C -improve strength for cardiovascular activity
S - improved sport performance
M - maintain mass (offset age-related sarcopenia)
I -reduces injury from overuse
, W -helps body-weight maintenance
F -improves functionality for everyday activities
P - improves core strength and posture - CORRECT ANSWER 8 benefits of weight training
HINT: O, C, S, M, I, W, F, P
3 or more days per week - CORRECT ANSWER recommended muscle conditioning days per
week
rest - CORRECT ANSWER Coach participants on the need for ______________ between
muscle conditioning sessions.
Reps, sets, loads - CORRECT ANSWER Intensity is based on (3)
shorten the lever
skip reps
decrease loads - CORRECT ANSWER Options for less intensity (3)
4 or more - CORRECT ANSWER Flexibility training days per week
5 - 10 minutes - CORRECT ANSWER Length of flexibility training sessions (time)
relaxation and flexibility - CORRECT ANSWER flexibility moves must serve two functions
antagonist - CORRECT ANSWER a muscle that opposes or reverses a particular movement
synergists - CORRECT ANSWER type of muscle that reduces unwanted movements
(stabilizes movements)
