Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Aerobic exercises use large ________ groups for movement.

    • A.

      Muscle

    • B.

      Strengthening

    Correct Answer
    A. Muscle
    Explanation
    Aerobic exercises use large muscle groups for movement. This is because aerobic exercises, such as running, swimming, or cycling, require continuous and repetitive movements that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. These exercises aim to increase cardiovascular endurance and improve overall fitness levels. By involving large muscle groups, aerobic exercises effectively elevate heart rate and oxygen consumption, promoting the efficient delivery of oxygen to the muscles and enhancing endurance.

    Correct Answer
    increase injuries
    make it hard to reach your THR
    strength
    Explanation
    Conditioning exercises improve muscle flexibility and strength. However, they can also increase the risk of injuries if not performed correctly or without proper warm-up. Additionally, these exercises can make it hard to reach your Target Heart Rate (THR) if they are not intense enough or if they focus more on flexibility rather than cardiovascular endurance.

    endurance
    Explanation
    The word "aerobic" is derived from the Greek word "aer" meaning air or oxygen. It refers to any activity or exercise that requires the use of oxygen to produce energy. Therefore, the correct answer is "with oxygen" as it accurately describes the meaning of the term "aerobic". Additionally, "stretching" and "endurance" are not synonymous with the term "aerobic" and do not accurately represent its meaning.

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. All of the above
    Explanation
    The given answer, "all of the above," is correct because all the mentioned activities (swimming, jogging, walking, rowing, skating, cross country skiing) are examples of aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercise is known to strengthen the heart by increasing its efficiency and endurance. It helps the heart reach and maintain a target heart range, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health. Engaging in any of these activities for at least 20-30 minutes can provide the necessary cardiovascular benefits.

      Resistance

    • B.

      Stretching

    • C.

      Walking

    Correct Answer
    A. Resistance
    Explanation
    Resistance exercise is the correct answer because it involves using weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight to create resistance against the muscles. This type of exercise helps to build muscle strength and endurance by challenging the muscles to overcome resistance, leading to muscle growth and increased stamina. Stretching and walking, although beneficial for overall health and fitness, do not specifically target muscle strength and endurance like resistance exercises do.

    Avoiding the use of pop, tobacco, and drugs will be beneficial for one's health and overall well-being. These substances can have detrimental effects on the body, leading to various health issues such as addiction, respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and even death. By abstaining from these substances, individuals can reduce the risk of developing these health problems and improve their quality of life. Additionally, avoiding the use of pop, tobacco, and drugs can also have positive social and economic impacts, as it can prevent financial strain, legal issues, and strained relationships.

    Body fat is needed to supply energy to the body.

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Body fat is an essential component of our bodies and serves as a source of energy. It provides a concentrated form of energy that can be utilized when the body needs it, such as during periods of fasting or intense physical activity. Additionally, body fat also plays a role in insulation, protection of organs, and hormone regulation. Therefore, it is necessary for the body to have a certain amount of body fat to ensure proper functioning and energy supply.

    Body fat is not needed to utilize certain vitamins.

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    This statement is incorrect because body fat is actually necessary for the absorption and utilization of certain vitamins. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, which means they require fat in order to be absorbed and transported in the body. Without sufficient body fat, these vitamins cannot be properly utilized, leading to potential deficiencies. Therefore, the correct answer is "no".

    • C.

      18- 28 %

    Correct Answer
    A. 7- 18 %
    Explanation
    Boys should have a body fat percentage ranging from 7-18% to be considered in the healthy zone. This range ensures that they have an adequate amount of body fat for normal physiological functions, while also maintaining a healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity-related health issues. Having too low or too high body fat percentages can lead to various health problems, so it is important for boys to strive for a percentage within this range.

    Women who lift weights will get bulky muscles.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because women who lift weights will not automatically get bulky muscles. Building bulky muscles requires a combination of factors such as genetics, high levels of testosterone, specific training programs, and a calorie surplus. Women typically have lower levels of testosterone compared to men, which makes it more difficult for them to gain significant muscle mass. Additionally, weightlifting can actually help women improve their strength, tone their muscles, and increase their metabolism without necessarily making them bulky.

    If you don't feel pain while exercising then your not making a difference.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Exercising does not necessarily have to be painful in order to be effective. Pain during exercise can indicate an injury or overexertion, but it is not a requirement for making a difference in your fitness level. Many forms of exercise, such as low-impact activities or stretching, may not cause pain but can still provide benefits like improved flexibility, cardiovascular health, and muscle strength. Therefore, the statement "If you don't feel pain while exercising then you're not making a difference" is false.
