The Spectrum of Physical Activity
According to government communication, this activity is considered the current generations new 'smoking' epidemic.
What is sitting?
True or False: Initial increases in strength primarily arise from structural adaptations and not neural adaptations within the skeletal muscle.
What is False?
True or False: Immediate post-exercise recovery within a hands-on-knees position may result in greater cardiorespiratory benefits compared to maintaining a hands-on-head position.
What is True?
This training concept promotes the benefits of altitude-induced adaptations for the optimization of athletic performance at sea level.
What is Live High, Train Low?
True or False: As a personal trainer who primarily works with older populations, you expect to observe reductions in fall prevention.
What is False?
True or False: Physically inactive individuals can be classified as sedentary individuals.
What is False.
Which of the FITT-VP factors is considered the most important for cardiorespiratory endurance improvement?
What is exercise intensity?
According to the NSCA, this recovery modality has the most evidence supporting its utilization in athletes.
What is sleep?
When treating a heat stroke victim with cold water immersion, Caroline will continuously swirl the water with a rod to enhance the cooling rate. Which heat exchange mechanism is she exploiting to maximize her treatment?
What is Convection?
An age-related loss in muscle strength.
What is Dynapenia?
Physical activity guidelines which recommend the performance of 60+ minutes of MVPA, comprised of both aerobic and strength exercises, over 3 or more days per week, would be most appropriate for which population?
Neuromuscular adaptations with strength training include increased motor unit recruitment, synchronization, rate coding, and overriding this self-regulated protective mechanism.
What is Autogenic Inhibition?
Fluid replacement guidelines suggest exercise-induced fluid losses should not surpass this % threshold in body weight loss to ensure safe participation.
What is fluid losses should not surpass the 2% threshold during exercise?
When core body temperatures fall below 29.5C, this body part loses its ability to regulate body temperature.
What is the hypothalamus?
This clinical change in bone structure presents with a non-severe lower than normal bone mineral density measurement.
What is Osteopenia?
70% of health benefits are induced with the weekly performance of this amount of exercise (hint: think METs!)
What is 8.25 MET-hours per week?
Calculate the 70% Training Heart Rate measurement for Hayden, a 35-year-old male client with a resting heart rate of 95 beats/minute, who has recently joined your gym thanks to the recently promoted 'New Year, New Me' discount.
What is 158 beats/minute?
Kyle is a 115 kg resistance-trained male whose goal is to increase functional strength and muscle size. In order to enhance his post-exercise protein synthesis response, he aims to consume 1.65 g/kg of protein per day. How much protein must he consume per day to meet this goal? (round answer to the nearest whole number)
What is 190 g of protein?
Which heat acclimation adaptation takes the longest to occur?
What is an increase in whole-body sweat rate?
Maximal aerobic capacity declines as we age, primarily due reductions in this cardiovascular variable, which unfortunately does not respond to exercise training.
What is maximal HR?
These two factors differentiate exercise from physical activity.
What is exercise is planned and goal-oriented?
This component was identified as a consistent limitation in both the Utilization Theory and Cardiovascular Theory regarding potential limitations in aerobic performance.
What is O2 transportation?
The concept of 'fats burn in a glycolytic flame' refers to this Krebs cycle intermediate which can be preferentially used for the gluconeogenic sustainment of glycolytic activity.
What is oxaloacetate?
Continuous altitude exposure stimulates the release of this hormone, resulting in the production of more red blood cells.
What is Erythropoietin?
Despite reductions in peripheral blood flow, arterial O2 saturation and localized O2 extraction are maintained during exercise within older adults, indicating a compensatory enhancement in this cardiorespiratory factor.
What is (a-v)O2 difference?
