    Female athletes must have a different program design than male athletes of the same sport.

    Correct Answer
    False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because there is no inherent need for female athletes to have a different program design than male athletes of the same sport. While there may be some physiological and anatomical differences between males and females, these differences do not necessarily require separate program designs. The program design for athletes should be based on individual needs, goals, and capabilities rather than gender. It is important to consider factors such as strength, endurance, flexibility, and skill level when designing a program for any athlete, regardless of their gender.

    Cardiovascular adaptations to endurance training include all of the following except:

    • Increased cardiac output

    • Increase blood volume and red blood cell count

    • Improved thermoregulation

    • Increased submaximal heart rate

    • Enhanced blood flow to skeletal muscle

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased submaximal heart rate
    Explanation
    Endurance training leads to various cardiovascular adaptations that improve the efficiency of the cardiovascular system. These adaptations include increased cardiac output, which is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute, and increased blood volume and red blood cell count, which enhance oxygen-carrying capacity. Endurance training also improves thermoregulation by enhancing the body's ability to dissipate heat. However, increased submaximal heart rate is not a typical adaptation to endurance training. In fact, endurance training tends to decrease resting and submaximal heart rate, as the heart becomes more efficient and can pump more blood with fewer beats. Additionally, endurance training enhances blood flow to skeletal muscles, allowing for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery during exercise.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the age-predicted maximum heart rate of a 45 year old male who weighs 220 lbs with a resting heart rate of 65 beats/min?

    Correct Answer
    175
    Explanation
    The age-predicted maximum heart rate can be estimated using the formula 220 - age. In this case, the age of the individual is 45 years old. Therefore, the estimated maximum heart rate would be 220 - 45 = 175 beats per minute. The weight and resting heart rate of the individual are not relevant in determining the age-predicted maximum heart rate.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    __________ occurs whenthe athlete reduces the training duration or intensity or stops training altogether due to a break in the training program, injury, or illness.

    Correct Answer
    detraining
    Explanation
    Detraining refers to the process where an athlete reduces the duration or intensity of their training or completely stops training due to various reasons such as taking a break from the training program, experiencing an injury, or being ill. During this period, the athlete's fitness levels and performance may decline as they are not engaging in regular training. Detraining can lead to a loss of strength, endurance, and overall athletic performance.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Age contributes ____% of the variability of heart rate.

    • 100

    • 75

    • 50

    • 25

    • 0

    Correct Answer
    A. 75
    Explanation
    Age contributes 75% of the variability of heart rate. This means that age is responsible for 75% of the differences or changes in heart rate among individuals. Other factors, such as physical activity, genetics, and overall health, may also contribute to the remaining 25% of the variability. Age is known to have a significant impact on heart rate, as it tends to increase with age due to natural physiological changes in the cardiovascular system.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    _______ is a measure of the energy cost of activity at a given exercise velocity.

    Correct Answer
    Exercise Economy
    Explanation
    Exercise economy refers to the energy cost or efficiency of performing a physical activity at a specific exercise velocity. It measures how much energy is required to maintain a certain pace or movement during exercise. A person with good exercise economy can perform the same activity with less energy expenditure compared to someone with poor exercise economy. This can be influenced by factors such as biomechanics, muscle coordination, and cardiovascular fitness.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which type of aerobic endurance training is not matched with the correct Intensity?

    • Long, slow distance ~70% of VO2 max

    • Pace/Tempo--at the lactate threshold; at or slightly above race pace

    • Interval ~30% VO2 max

    • Repetition--Greater than VO2 max

    • Fartlek--Varies between LSD and pace/tempo training intensities

    Correct Answer
    A. Interval ~30% VO2 max
    Explanation
    Interval training is a type of aerobic endurance training that involves alternating periods of high-intensity exercise with periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. It is typically performed at intensities much higher than 30% of VO2 max. Interval training is known for its ability to improve anaerobic capacity and increase overall cardiovascular fitness. Therefore, the given answer stating that Interval training is matched with ~30% of VO2 max is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Respiratory adaptations to endurance training include all of the following except:

    • Enhanced O2 exchange in lungs

    • Improved blood flow through lungs

    • Increased submaximal respiratory rate

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased submaximal respiratory rate
    Explanation
    Endurance training leads to various respiratory adaptations that improve oxygen exchange and blood flow through the lungs. However, an increased submaximal respiratory rate is not a typical adaptation. Endurance training usually results in a decrease in resting and submaximal respiratory rates due to improved lung function and efficiency. Therefore, the correct answer is "Increased submaximal respiratory rate."
