    True or false: Older populations are unable to make significant gains in muscle mass and power from resistance exercise

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Older populations are unable to make significant gains in muscle mass and power from resistance exercise" is false. Research has shown that older individuals can indeed make significant gains in muscle mass and power through resistance exercise. Regular strength training can help older adults improve their muscle strength, increase muscle mass, and enhance their overall physical function and quality of life. It is important for older populations to engage in appropriate resistance training programs that are tailored to their abilities and goals.

  • 3. 

    When compared to men designing a resistance program for women should include_____

    • Additional upper body exercises

    • Less upper body exercises

    • Minimal upper body exercises

    Correct Answer
    A. Additional upper body exercises
    Explanation
    When designing a resistance program for women, it is important to include additional upper body exercises. This is because women generally have less upper body strength compared to men, and incorporating exercises that target the upper body can help to improve strength and muscle tone in these areas. By including additional upper body exercises, women can achieve a more balanced and comprehensive workout routine that targets all major muscle groups.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    ______________ is defined as the length of time an athlete has been resistance training.

    Correct Answer
    training age
    Explanation
    Training age refers to the length of time an athlete has been engaging in resistance training. It is a measure of the athlete's experience and familiarity with resistance training exercises and techniques. The training age is an important factor to consider when designing a training program as it can indicate the athlete's level of skill, strength, and conditioning. The longer the training age, the more advanced and experienced the athlete is likely to be in their training.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    When compared to relative muscle cross-sectional area, ______ differences in strength exist between genders.

    Correct Answer
    no
    zero
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "no, zero". This means that there are no differences in strength between genders when considering relative muscle cross-sectional area. In other words, regardless of the size of their muscles, men and women have the same level of strength. This challenges the common belief that men are generally stronger than women, highlighting the importance of considering other factors, such as muscle mass, in determining strength.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    True or false: It has been proven that the Valsalva maneuver is safe for seniors to perform

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because it has not been proven that the Valsalva maneuver is safe for seniors to perform. The Valsalva maneuver involves forcefully exhaling against a closed airway, which can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure. This can be dangerous for seniors who may already have underlying cardiovascular conditions or high blood pressure. It is important for seniors to consult with their healthcare provider before attempting the Valsalva maneuver to ensure their safety.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    With concern to body types which one responds easiest to resistance exercise

    • Ectomorph

    • Mesomorph

    • Endomorph

    Correct Answer
    A. Mesomorph
    Explanation
    Mesomorphs are individuals who have a naturally athletic and muscular body type. They typically have a higher percentage of lean muscle mass and lower body fat. Due to their genetic predisposition, mesomorphs tend to respond more easily to resistance exercise. This means that they are able to build muscle and strength relatively quickly compared to ectomorphs and endomorphs. Mesomorphs often have a naturally well-defined physique and can achieve their fitness goals more efficiently with resistance training.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which one of these do NOT pose a danger to youth athletes:

    • Epiphyseal plate injury

    • Over-use soft tissue injuries

    • Year round conditioning programs

    • Participating without a physical

    Correct Answer
    A. Year round conditioning programs
    Explanation
    Year-round conditioning programs do not pose a danger to youth athletes. While epiphyseal plate injuries, overuse soft tissue injuries, and participating without a physical can all potentially harm young athletes, year-round conditioning programs are designed to improve their overall fitness, strength, and endurance. These programs aim to prevent injuries by properly conditioning the body and preparing it for the demands of sports activities. Therefore, they are considered beneficial rather than dangerous for youth athletes.

    • Ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph

    • Mesomorph, endomorph, ectomorph

    • Ectomorph, endomorph, ectomorph

    • Endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph

    Correct Answer
    A. Endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph
    Explanation
    The correct answer is endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph. This is because the picture shows three different body types. The first person in the picture has a rounder and softer appearance, which is characteristic of an endomorph. The second person has a more muscular and athletic build, which is typical of a mesomorph. The third person appears to be lean and thin, which is common for an ectomorph. Therefore, the correct order is endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Peak strength in untrained women is usually obtained by age _______.

    Correct Answer
    20
    Explanation
    The peak strength in untrained women is typically reached by the age of 20. This is because during adolescence and early adulthood, women experience significant physical growth and development, including an increase in muscle mass and strength. After the age of 20, the rate of muscle growth and strength development tends to slow down, making it more challenging to achieve peak strength levels. It is important to note that individual variations and factors such as genetics, physical activity levels, and training can also influence the attainment of peak strength.

    • Optimizing dietary intake to maximize athletic performance

    • Decreasing body fat in order to be faster

    • Providing a longer off season to allow adequate recovery

    • Increasing resistance early and often

    Correct Answer
    A. Optimizing dietary intake to maximize athletic performance
    Explanation
    Optimizing dietary intake to maximize athletic performance is important in order to help prevent injuries to female athletes. This is because a well-balanced and nutritious diet can provide the necessary fuel and nutrients for the body to perform at its best, which can help reduce the risk of injuries. Proper nutrition can also support muscle recovery and repair, enhance bone health, and boost the immune system, all of which are crucial for preventing injuries and maintaining overall athletic performance.

    Growth cartilage in children is NOT located in the ___________.

    • Epiphyseal plates

    • Joint surface

    • Apophyseal insertions

    • Diaphysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Diaphysis
    Explanation
    The growth cartilage in children is located in the epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth. The joint surface is not considered growth cartilage, as it is the area where bones meet and move. Apophyseal insertions are also not growth cartilage, as they are attachment sites for tendons and ligaments. The diaphysis, which is the long shaft of a bone, does not contain growth cartilage.

     ______________ is a bone mineral density between -1 and -2.5 SVD from the young adult mean

    • Osteoporosis

    • Gout

    • Sacropenia

    • Osteopenia

    Correct Answer
    A. Osteopenia
    Explanation
    Osteopenia is a condition characterized by a bone mineral density that is between -1 and -2.5 standard deviations from the young adult mean. It is considered a precursor to osteoporosis, which is a more severe form of bone loss. Osteopenia indicates lower bone density than normal, but not to the extent that it meets the criteria for osteoporosis. Therefore, osteopenia is the correct answer in this case.

    True or false:  Men have a lower quantity of fat free mass when compare to women of the same height and weight

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Men generally have a lower quantity of fat-free mass compared to women of the same height and weight. This is because men typically have a higher percentage of muscle mass, while women tend to have a higher percentage of body fat. This difference in body composition is influenced by hormonal factors, such as higher levels of testosterone in men, which promotes muscle growth. However, it is important to note that individual variations exist, and there can be exceptions to this generalization.

  • 17. 

    Increasing ________________ is an important adaptation from resistance training for the older population suffering from osteoporosis

    Correct Answer
    bone mineral density
    Explanation
    Increasing bone mineral density is an important adaptation from resistance training for the older population suffering from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and a higher risk of fractures. Resistance training, which involves weight-bearing exercises, has been shown to stimulate bone formation and increase bone mineral density. By increasing bone mineral density, resistance training can help improve bone strength and reduce the risk of fractures in older individuals with osteoporosis.

    Loss of Type II muscle fibers in older populations can be directly associated with this

    Correct Answer
    physical inactivity
    lower activity levels
    detraining
    Explanation
    Loss of Type II muscle fibers in older populations can be directly associated with physical inactivity, lower activity levels, and detraining. This is because as individuals age, they tend to become less physically active, leading to a decrease in muscle use and stimulation. This lack of activity can result in a loss of Type II muscle fibers, which are responsible for generating power and strength. Additionally, detraining, which refers to a reduction or cessation of training, can also contribute to the loss of these muscle fibers. Therefore, it is important for older individuals to engage in regular physical activity to maintain muscle mass and function.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Preadolescent athletes strength benefits occur mostly from ______________ with resistance training not hypertrophy

    Correct Answer
    neurological factors
    improved neurological recruitement
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "neurological factors, improved neurological recruitment." Preadolescent athletes experience strength benefits primarily through neurological factors rather than hypertrophy. This means that their strength gains are mainly due to improvements in the nervous system, such as increased neural activation and coordination, rather than an increase in muscle size. Improved neurological recruitment refers to the ability of the nervous system to activate and coordinate muscle fibers more efficiently, leading to enhanced strength performance.
