KAAP180 Final Exam
You are interested in the effects of anxiety on injury rates in competitive sports. Which two
subdisciplines are most likely to provide the information that you are looking for? - ANS exercise and

A group of researchers forms a team to learn whether exercise can speed the recovery from covid in
young adults. The team consists of a respiratory physiologist, an immunologist, and a cardiovascular
physiologist. What physiological perspective is represented by the combined expertise of this team?
- ANS horizontal integration
What two physiological systems are involved when you "hit the wall"? - ANS nervous system and
energy system
what plane are you looking in this persons motion? - ANS sagittal
Once an action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction, there is a sequence of events that
result in muscle contraction. Place these events in the correct numerical sequence.
1. cross bridged form
2. acetylcholine is released
3. calcium is released
4 the binding cites for myosin heads are exposed
5. action potentials travel down t-tubules to the inner regions of muscle fibers - ANS 2, 5, 3, 4, 1
Select the option below that is the approximate mechanical power that an elite endurance bicyclist
can sustain for a 7-day continuous race. - ANS 165 Watts
Due to rising gas prices you begin riding a bicycle to class. There is one hill and you decide to time
yourself on the hill each day. After only one week you have reduced your time to climb the hill by 12
seconds. Which statement about mechanical energy is correct? - ANS you increased power
Yesterday was your first day of a weightlifting program. Today you are really sore in the muscles you
exercised and you notice that your urine is slightly brownish. What is the energy enzyme that is
probably leaking out of damaged muscle cells into your bloodstream? - ANS creatine kinase
, Select the two conditions below that contribute to hamstring injuries while sprinting - ANS eccentric
muscle contraction and the z-lines (or z-disks) are far apart
Why is it unlikely that a runner will bonk (hit the wall) within the first hour of a run? - ANS muscle
glycogen storage
Think about the condition of rhabdomyolysis from the integrated physiological systems perspectives
and the systems that are most severely affected. Select three terms below that are most related to
this condition. - ANS horizontal integration, muscle system, renal system
You and a friend decide to train your fitness for the upcoming intramural basketball season. You
decide to focus on improving your anaerobic glycolysis system so that you can maintain 30-45
second bouts of higher intensity effort with a little more power and stamina. Which test below
would be most appropriate for monitoring your training effect? - ANS The wingate test
In the paper that compared sprint interval training to traditional endurance training, which of the
following effects of training was observed? - ANS Both groups used less muscle glycogen during the
65% VO2 peak bike test
the sprint interval training group had an increase in citrate synthase activity.
Consider the mechanical properties of muscle. Which letter above marks the location where there is
too much overlap between actin and myosin to generate force? - ANS E
Appalachian Trail Through Hikers spend several months each year hiking from Georgia to Maine.
After this very long duration of exercise, what change below would be most likely - ANS an increase
in lipoprotein
Which image below shows the eccentric phase of a pull-up? - ANS panel A
You are 6 months into your training for your first marathon. You have been doing a cycling test every
two months to assess your respiratory quotient (RQ), a measure like RER. Unfortunately you caught
covid-19 and this has reduced your blood oxygen levels. After two weeks of rest and recovery, you
did another cycling test at the same power level (150 Watts). It still felt harder than usual and your
breathing was difficult. What do you predict about your RQ - ANS higher than the last test
16 weeks of endurance running training can elicit many cardiovascular adaptations, one being
increased left ventricular size and mass. What specific adaptations accompany an increase in left
ventricular size and mass? - ANS Increased stroke volume and decreased resting heart rate
