EXSC 410 FINAL EXAM GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Basic Principles and Guidelines-Test Organizations - Answer-Optimal testing order for
multiple health-related components of fitness and the importance of sufficient time
allowed for HR and BP to return to baseline between tests conducted serially
What are the components of a comprehensive health fitness evaluation? - Answer--
informed consent and exercise preparticipation screening
- preexercise evaluation
- resting measurements
- circumference measurements and body composition analysis
- CRF, muscular fitness and flexibility measurements
Muscular Fitness - Answer-- Muscular strength and endurance are health related fitness
components that may improve or maintain the following:
- Bone mass, which is related to osteoporosis
- Muscle mass, which is related to sarcopenia
- Glucose tolerance, which is pertinent in both the prediabetic and diabetic state
Muscular Fitness pt.2 - Answer-- Musculotendinous integrity, which is related to a lower
risk of injury including low back pain
- The ability to carry out the activities of daily living, which is related to perceived quality
of life and self-efficacy among other indicators of mental health
- FFM and resting metabolic rate, which are related to weight management
Muscular Fitness pt.3 - Answer-- Muscular strength refers to the muscle's ability to exert
force (3 < repetitions to fatigue)
- Muscular endurance is the muscle's ability to continue to perform successive exertions
or many repetitions (12>repetition to fatigue)
- Muscular power is the muscle's ability to exert force per unit of time
Rationale for testing - Answer-- Physical fitness tests of muscular strength and muscular
endurance before commencing exercise training or as part of a health/fitness screening
evaluation can provide valuable information on a client's baseline physical fitness level
- results can be compared to established standards
- results can serve as a bias for designing individualized exercise training programs
- results show a client's progressive improvements over time
General Principles of Exercise Prescription - Answer-- designed to meet individual
health and physical fitness goals
- the principles of exercise prescription are intended to exercise professionals in
development of an individually tailored Ex Rx for the apparently healthy adult whose
goal is to improve physical fitness health
, Methods to minimize CVD complications in older adults - Answer-- Following the
preparticipation health screening and evaluation procedures
- beginning a new program of exercise at light-to-moderate intensity
- employing a gradual progression of the quantity and quality
Ways to stimulate bone mineral density and enact Wolfe's Law - Answer-- Loading
exercises (weight bearing and resistance exercise)
- Know some examples
Muscular Fitness in Older Adults - Answer-- Older adults (>65 yr) , which component of
muscle performance declines the most rapidly with aging and is also associated with a
greater risk of falls / MSK injury/ declines in longevity and independence
Split Vs Whole Body Recommendations - Answer-- Split weight training routine should
be performed 4 days a week to train each muscle group 2 times a week
- Split and whole body methods are effective as long as each muscle group is trained 2-
3 days a week
- Be engaged 2-3 days a week with at least 48 h separating the exercise training
sessions for the same muscle group
Progression/Maintenance - Answer-- As muscles adapt to a resistance exercise training
program, the participants should continue to subject them to overload or greater stimuli
to continue to increase muscular strength and mass
- the most common approach is to increase the amount of resistance lifted during
training
- Other ways to progressively overload muscles include performing more sets per
muscle groups are trained
Most errors in measurement are biased towards what? - Answer-high number,
overestimating HTN
Specific Classifications of Hypertension - Answer-- 120 and < 80 = Normal or
normotensive
- 120-129 and < 80 = Elevated; Hypertension exists when BP consistently ≥ 130 and/or
80
- 130-139 or 80-89 = Stage 1 hypertension
- >140 or > 90 = Stage 2 hypertension
- > 180 and/or > 120 = Hypertensive urgency
- >180 and/or > 120 and target organ damage = Hypertensive emergency
Factors that Impact Blood Pressure Readings - Answer-- cuff is too small
- cuff over clothing
- back/feet unsupported
- stress
- not resting 3-5 minutes
