Name the Hormone
What is the primary anabolic steroid hormone in men, released from the testes?
Testosterone
Hormones that stimulate tissue growth, protein synthesis, and increase muscle mass.
Anabolic Hormones
Chemical messengers that are synthesized, stored, and released into the blood by endocrine glands and certain other cells (made from proteins or lipids (cholesterol – based steroids)
Hormones
The term EPOC refers to:
Elevated postexercise oxygen consumption
Does NOT like to squat
Christian
If I could be a candy I would be a sour punch candy/straw.
Kory
Neuromuscular adaptations occur before hypertrophy
True: In the first few weeks of resistance training, most strength gains come from improved neural efficiency rather than muscle growth. Your brain and nervous system learn to recruit more motor units and coordinate muscles better.
Promotes breakdown of glycogen in the liver to increase blood glucose.
Glucagon
Hormones made of chains of amino acids (proteins); include insulin, glucagon, GH, and ACTH.
Polypeptide Hormones
Lactate can be transported in the blood to the liver, where it is converted to glucose.
Cori Cycle
In anaerobic glycolysis, pyruvate is converted into:
Lactate
Glycolysis breaks down which macronutrient to produce ATP?
Carbohydrate

After a workout, metabolism stays elevated as the body restores energy and repairs tissues.
True — This is known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).
What hormone is primarily catabolic, involved in glucose metabolism and breaking down proteins, and increases acutely in response to high-volume/high-intensity resistance training?
Cortisol
Hormones produced by the adrenal glands, including cortisol, aldosterone, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.
Adrenal Hormones
First type of bone to show effects of bone diseases (osteoporosis)
Trabecular bone
The magnitude of the acute hormone response to a standardized resistance exercise bout is often greatest in what population:
Beginner/untrained people
Stoney
If I could be a candy I'd be a Mike and Ike
Jacoby
Hormones like testosterone and growth hormone decrease after resistance exercise.
False — They often increase temporarily to support muscle repair and adaptation.
Hormone that maintains uterine lining and supports pregnancy.
Progesterone
Hormones that break down and mobilize energy; cortisol, glucagon, epinephrine, norepinephrine, adrenocorticotropic hormone
Catabolic Hormones
The end result of glycolysis
Pyruvate
Which organs (2) are responsible for the majority of hormone degradation and clearance from the blood?
Liver and Kidneys
Which molecule enters the Krebs Cycle after glycolysis?
Acetyl-CoA
If I could be a candy I'd be a peach ring
Avery
Performing only the concentric (lifting) phase of an exercise produces the greatest muscle growth.
False — The eccentric (lowering) phase creates more mechanical stress and contributes significantly to hypertrophy.
Increases sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys; regulates blood pressure.
Aldosterone
Which category of hormones includes the catecholamines, Epinephrine and Norepinephrine?
Amine Hormones
The breakdown of carbohydrates—either glycogen stored in the muscle or glucose delivered in the blood—to resynthesize ATP
Glycolysis
Which cardiovascular variable experiences the most significant increase acutely during aerobic exercise?
Cardiac Output (CO/Q)
Miss Higgs always thinks he's a thrower.
Princeton
If I could be a candy, I'd be a twix
Princeton
Lactic acid buildup is the main cause of muscle soreness experienced 24–48 hours after resistance training.
False — Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is primarily caused by microtrauma and inflammation, not lactic acid accumulation.
Stimulates adrenal cortex to release cortisol.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
Hormones that are made from cholesterol, are fat soluble, and passively diffuse across the cell membrane; cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone, estrogens, progesterone, calcitriol
Steroid Hormones
Body structures specialized for releasing hormones into the blood.
Endocrine glands
What rest interval range is typically associated with the greatest acute increases in Growth Hormone (GH) concentration post-resistance exercise?
30-60 seconds
Which enzyme catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate?
Lactate dehydrogenase
If I could be a candy I'd be a bit of honey or a tootsie roll.
Mrs. Higg
During resistance training, the primary signal for muscle protein synthesis comes from increased calcium ion release within the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
False — While calcium plays a role in muscle contraction, the main signal for protein synthesis is activation of the mTOR pathway, triggered by mechanical tension, amino acids (especially leucine), and hormonal signals.
