All 10 Questions
- A marathon runner transitions from a flat surface to a steep incline. Which physiological adaptation primarily allows them to maintain intensity without hitting their anaerobic threshold prematurely?A) Reduced systolic blood pressureB) Increased stroke volumeC) Decreased capillary densityD) Lowered mitochondrial respiration
- When an athlete performs a one-rep max (1RM) on a leg press, they are primarily utilizing ______, characterized by the recruitment of Type IIb muscle fibers.A) Muscular enduranceB) Hypertrophic densityC) Muscular strengthD) Isokinetic flexibility
- Hydrostatic weighing is considered a more valid measure of body composition than Body Mass Index (BMI) because it accounts for the difference between fat-free mass and adipose tissue.A) TrueB) False
Show all 10 questions
- Which of the following scenarios best demonstrates the concept of 'Functional Flexibility' as it pertains to injury prevention in high-impact sports?A) A static hamstring stretch held for 60 seconds after a cooldownB) The ability to reach the toes during a seated box testC) Active range of motion during a dynamic deep-squat warm-upD) Reflexive muscle guarding during an unexpected joint extension
- Muscular endurance is primarily measured by the total force a muscle can generate during a single, explosive isometric contraction.A) TrueB) False
- The ______ of the heart increases during chronic aerobic training, leading to a lower resting heart rate due to a more efficient delivery of oxygen.A) Right atriumB) Left ventricular volumeC) Aortic valve widthD) Pulmonary artery size
- If an athlete has a high percentage of lean muscle mass but a low level of cardiovascular endurance, which training principle should they follow to achieve 'Balanced Fitness'?A) Increase resistance training volumeB) Implement high-intensity interval training (HIIT)C) Focus exclusively on static flexibilityD) Reduce caloric intake to lower body composition
- An individual with an 'Android' body fat distribution pattern carries more weight in the abdominal region, which is statistically linked to a higher risk of ______.A) OsteoporosisB) Metabolic syndromeC) Hypokinetic flexibilityD) Muscle atrophy
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique that involves both stretching and contracting the target muscle group to enhance flexibility.A) TrueB) False
- A high-school athlete notices they can perform more push-ups than before, but their maximum bench press weight remains the same. Which component of fitness has improved?A) Muscular strengthB) Body compositionC) Power outputD) Muscular endurance
