  • 2. 

    It is acceptable to add a __________ station in your circuit training cycle in order to keep your heart rate in the aerobic zone.

    • Cardio

    • Training

    • Both a and b.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Cardio
    Explanation
    To keep the heart rate in the aerobic zone during circuit training, it is acceptable to add a cardio station. This is because cardio exercises, such as running, biking, or jumping rope, are known to elevate the heart rate and improve cardiovascular endurance. By incorporating a cardio station into the circuit training cycle, individuals can ensure that their heart rate stays within the desired aerobic zone, which is crucial for maximizing the cardiovascular benefits of the workout.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is it called where a particular exercise or activity is completed during circuit training?

    • Location

    • Station

    • Spot

    Correct Answer
    A. Station
    Explanation
    During circuit training, a particular exercise or activity is completed at a designated location called a station. This term is commonly used in circuit training to refer to the specific area or station where participants perform a specific exercise before moving on to the next station in the circuit. Each station typically focuses on a different muscle group or fitness goal, allowing for a comprehensive full-body workout.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which type of workout focuses on resistance training?

    • Circuit Training

    • Interval Training

    • Flexibility

    • Cardiorespiratory Endurance

    Correct Answer
    A. Circuit Training
    Explanation
    Circuit training focuses on resistance training by incorporating a series of exercises that target different muscle groups. It involves performing a set of exercises in a circuit format, with little to no rest in between. This type of workout helps to build strength, improve muscular endurance, and increase overall fitness levels. It typically involves using various types of equipment, such as dumbbells, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises, to challenge the muscles and promote strength development.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Interval training switches from various stations without a break

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Interval training involves alternating between periods of high-intensity exercise and rest or low-intensity exercise. It does not require switching from various stations without a break. Instead, it typically involves performing specific exercises or activities at a high intensity for a set amount of time, followed by a period of rest or lower intensity exercise. This pattern is repeated multiple times during an interval training session. Therefore, the statement that interval training switches from various stations without a break is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The average number of stations is ___________.

    • 1-4

    • 5-10

    • 6-8

    Correct Answer
    A. 5-10
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5-10. This range suggests that the average number of stations falls between 5 and 10. It implies that there are a significant number of stations, but not an excessive amount. This range is a reasonable estimate for the average number of stations.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    When performing the plank exercise, your shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles should be aligned in an "inverted V" position.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement that the shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles should be aligned in an "inverted V" position during the plank exercise is false. In the plank exercise, these body parts should be aligned in a straight line, creating a neutral and straight plank-like position. The "inverted V" position would imply a downward dog or pike position, which is a different exercise altogether.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Changing one aspect of an activity to include a harder period, then lower intensity recovery, followed by another harder period is an example of which type of training.

    • Muscular Strength

    • Circuit

    • Interval

    • Anaerobic

    Correct Answer
    A. Interval
    Explanation
    Interval training involves alternating periods of high-intensity exercise with periods of lower intensity or rest. In this case, changing the activity to include a harder period, followed by a lower intensity recovery, and then another harder period fits the definition of interval training. This type of training is effective for improving cardiovascular fitness, increasing endurance, and burning calories. It also allows individuals to push their limits during the high-intensity periods and recover during the lower intensity periods.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The plank exercise provides which type of training?

    • Core Strength

    • Core Stability

    • Neither

    • Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    The plank exercise provides both core strength and core stability training. The plank is a static exercise that targets the muscles in the core, including the abdominals, back muscles, and hip muscles. By holding the plank position, these muscles are engaged and strengthened, improving overall core strength. Additionally, the plank exercise requires maintaining a stable and aligned position, which helps to improve core stability. Therefore, the plank exercise provides both types of training.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    If you have any questions/comments you should contact, who?

    • Kimberly Vaccaro

    • Tiffany Hileman

    • Either

    • Neither

    Correct Answer
    A. Either
    Explanation
    The question is asking who should be contacted if there are any questions or comments. The correct answer is "Either" because it means that both Kimberly Vaccaro and Tiffany Hileman can be contacted for any inquiries or feedback.
