CardioV benefits from exercise
This cardiovascular adaptation improves blood ejection per heartbeat.
What is increased stroke volume?
This adaptation increases the mineral content and strength of bones.
What is increased bone mineral density?
the gold standard to measuring cardiorespiratory fitness
Vo2 max (met cart)
These exercises are prioritized because they recruit more muscle mass and improve training efficiency.
What are multi-joint exercises?
the increase in cell size
hypertrophy
This adaptation allows the heart to pump the same cardiac output with fewer beats at rest.
What is decreased resting heart rate (bradycardia)?
This adaptation contributes to reductions in fat mass over time.
What is improved body composition
This category of body composition assessment estimates body fat using equations derived from another method, such as hydrostatic weighing.
What is double indirect assessment?
this is the rep range needed to use in order to tone muscle
There is no magical rep range to tone muscle
in the first 1-6 weeks of strength training, strength gains come from ________ adaptations
neurological
This cardiovascular benefit directly contributes to reduced mortality risk.
What is improved cardiorespiratory fitness (VO₂max)?
the reduction of muscle mass
sarcopenia
This method uses X-rays to differentiate between bone, fat, and lean tissue.
What is DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)?
This rest interval range is most associated with metabolic stress and hypertrophy.
What is 30–60 seconds?
This adaptation increases the muscle’s ability to generate force quickly.
What is increased muscular power?
This peripheral adaptation improves oxygen delivery through increased capillary ___________ in skeletal muscle.
Density
the reduction of bone mass/density with age
osteopenia
This method estimates body composition based on electrical conductivity of tissues.
What is bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)?
This physiological change contributes most directly to declines in strength and power with aging.
What is loss of type II muscle fibers?
This combination of variables best reflects hypertrophy training according to ACSM.
What is moderate load, moderate reps, moderate rest?
This adaptation improves the extraction of oxygen from blood at the muscle level.
What is increased arteriovenous oxygen difference (a-vO₂ diff)?
This metabolic benefit improves the body’s ability to regulate blood glucose.
increased insulin sensitivity
This minimum number of practice assessments is recommended for a technician to reduce intra-tester error when performing this method
50, skinfold assesment
This long-term adaptation improves oxygen delivery at altitude.
What is increased red blood cell production?
This is the primary mechanism of heat loss during exercise in hot environments.
What is evaporation?
