  • 2. 

    ATP stands for: 

    • Associate of Television 

    • Adenosine triphosphate

    • Advanced triphosphate

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Adenosine triphosphate
    Explanation
    ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate. Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule that stores and releases energy for cellular processes. It is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell because it provides the energy needed for various biological reactions. ATP is composed of adenosine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. When one phosphate group is removed from ATP, it releases energy, and when a phosphate group is added back to ADP (adenosine diphosphate), it stores energy. Therefore, ATP plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and is essential for sustaining life.

    The sport of Shot Put relies primarily on what energy system?

    • ATP-CP

    • Lactic acid

    • Aerobic

    • Muscle energy

    Correct Answer
    A. ATP-CP
    Explanation
    The sport of Shot Put relies primarily on the ATP-CP energy system. This system provides immediate energy for short bursts of high-intensity activity, such as explosive movements involved in throwing the shot put. The ATP-CP system relies on stored ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and creatine phosphate to fuel muscle contractions. This energy system is anaerobic, meaning it does not require oxygen, and is quickly depleted, which is why shot putters require explosive power and strength.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is draw back of the ATP-CP?

    • It produces Lactic acid

    • It is not very powerful

    • It only lasts about 10 seconds

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. It only lasts about 10 seconds
    Explanation
    The drawback of the ATP-CP system is that it only lasts about 10 seconds. This means that it can provide energy for high-intensity activities, such as sprinting or weightlifting, but it cannot sustain energy production for longer durations. Therefore, for activities that require endurance or prolonged effort, the ATP-CP system is not sufficient and other energy systems, such as aerobic metabolism, need to be utilized.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The ATP-CP and Lactic acid systems both require oxygen. State true or false.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false. Both the ATP-CP (adenosine triphosphate-creatine phosphate) system and the lactic acid system are anaerobic systems, meaning they do not require oxygen. The ATP-CP system uses stored ATP and creatine phosphate to provide energy for short bursts of high-intensity activity, while the lactic acid system produces ATP by breaking down glucose without the need for oxygen.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is the effect that lactic acid has on performance?

    • Reduced

    • Nil

    • Advantages

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduced
    Explanation
    Lactic acid has a negative effect on performance as it is produced during intense exercise when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles. It leads to muscle fatigue, burning sensation, and reduced muscle contractions, ultimately decreasing performance.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What fuel source does the aerobic system use?

    • Creatine from glucose supplies

    • Glycogen only

    • Glycogen, fats, protein

    • Nutrition, carbohydrates

    Correct Answer
    A. Glycogen, fats, protein
    Explanation
    The aerobic system uses glycogen, fats, and protein as fuel sources. This means that during aerobic exercise, the body can break down and utilize these energy sources to produce ATP, which is the main energy currency of the cells. Glycogen is a stored form of glucose in the muscles and liver, while fats and proteins are also broken down to provide energy when needed. This combination of fuel sources allows the body to sustain prolonged physical activity and maintain energy levels.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What intensity does the ATP-CP operate in?

    • Maximal

    • Near maximal

    • Sub maximal

    • Minimum

    Correct Answer
    A. Maximal
    Explanation
    The ATP-CP system operates at a maximal intensity. This system provides energy for short bursts of intense activity, such as weightlifting or sprinting. It relies on the immediate availability of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and creatine phosphate to produce energy. At maximal intensity, the ATP-CP system is fully utilized to meet the high energy demands of the activity.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What sport relies predominantly on aerobic?

    • AFL

    • 400m

    • Cross country sking

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Cross country sking
    Explanation
    Cross country skiing relies predominantly on aerobic exercise. This sport involves long-distance skiing over varied terrain, which requires a continuous supply of oxygen to the muscles for sustained energy production. Aerobic exercise primarily uses oxygen to generate energy and is characterized by moderate-intensity, long-duration activities. Cross country skiing fits this description as it involves prolonged periods of skiing at a steady pace, making it a sport that heavily relies on aerobic endurance. AFL and 400m, on the other hand, may involve bursts of high-intensity activity and anaerobic energy systems, making them less reliant on aerobic fitness.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What fitness component matches the aerobic energy system?

    • Speed

    • Agility

    • Muscular endurance

    • Cardio-respiratory endurance

    Correct Answer
    A. Cardio-respiratory endurance
    Explanation
    The fitness component that matches the aerobic energy system is cardio-respiratory endurance. This is because the aerobic energy system primarily utilizes oxygen to produce energy for prolonged physical activity. Cardio-respiratory endurance refers to the ability of the heart, lungs, and circulatory system to efficiently deliver oxygen to the working muscles during exercise. It is a measure of how well the body can sustain aerobic activity over an extended period of time.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    A high aerobic capacity (cardio-respiratory endurance) is important for?

    • Increased muscle strength

    • Removal of lactic acid

    • Improved flexibilty

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Removal of lactic acid
    Explanation
    A high aerobic capacity is important for the removal of lactic acid. Lactic acid is produced during intense exercise when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles. Aerobic exercise helps to improve the body's ability to deliver oxygen to the muscles, which in turn helps to remove lactic acid more efficiently. This is why individuals with a high aerobic capacity are able to recover faster after intense exercise and experience less muscle soreness.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The beep test gives an indication of the efficiency of which system?

    • ATP-CP

    • Lactic Acid

    • Aerobic

    • Muscle energy

    Correct Answer
    A. Aerobic
    Explanation
    The beep test gives an indication of the efficiency of the aerobic system. This system is responsible for producing energy through the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats in the presence of oxygen. The beep test measures an individual's ability to sustain high-intensity exercise over a prolonged period, which primarily relies on the aerobic system to supply energy. By assessing performance in the beep test, one can gauge the efficiency and endurance of their aerobic system.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    What percentage of maximal heart rate does the aerobic energy system work in?

    • Maximal (95% onwards)

    • Near maximal (85-95%)

    • Sub-maximal (less than 85%)

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Sub-maximal (less than 85%)
    Explanation
    The aerobic energy system works at a sub-maximal level, which means it operates at less than 85% of the maximal heart rate. This indicates that the aerobic system is not fully exerted and is working at a moderate intensity. At this level, the body is able to sustain activity for a longer duration as it relies primarily on oxygen to produce energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which component of fitness would match the lactic acid energy system?

    • Aerobic capacity

    • Muscular power

    • Muscular endurance

    • Flexibility

    Correct Answer
    A. Muscular endurance
    Explanation
    The lactic acid energy system is primarily responsible for providing energy during high-intensity, short-duration activities, such as weightlifting or sprinting. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force or resist fatigue over an extended period of time. This matches the demands of the lactic acid energy system, as it requires the muscles to sustain a high level of effort for a prolonged period. Muscular power, flexibility, and aerobic capacity do not directly align with the characteristics of the lactic acid energy system.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What by-product does the aerobic system produce?

    Correct Answer
    Water carbon dioxide, CO2, carbon dioxide, H2O
    Explanation
    During aerobic metabolism, glucose and oxygen are utilized to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), carbon dioxide, and water. Carbon dioxide is released as a waste product into the bloodstream and eventually exhaled from the body through the lungs.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    What by-product does the ATP-CP system produce?

    • Creatine Phosphate

    • Adenosine triphosphate

    • Nothing

    • Water

    Correct Answer
    A. Nothing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "nothing" because the ATP-CP system does not produce any by-products. This system relies on the breakdown of creatine phosphate to produce ATP, which is the primary source of energy for muscle contractions. Unlike other energy systems, such as aerobic respiration, the ATP-CP system does not produce any waste products like carbon dioxide or lactic acid. Thus, the correct answer is "nothing" as there are no by-products generated by the ATP-CP system.
