Questions With Solutions
cardiorespiratory fitness -determines how long you can continue a task, whether it is
climbing stairs, raking leaves, or running a race
-requires strength but also involves the cardiovascular and respiratory systems
musculoskeletal fitness -muscle strength and endurance enhance the ability to perform
tasks such as pushing or lifting
-increased by repeatedly using muscles in activities that require moving against a resisting force
-strength training or resisting training (weight lifting)
flexibility -determines range of motion
-being flexible may reduce the risk of pulled muscles and tendons
body composition -exercise builds and maintains muscle
-individuals who are physically fit have a greater proportion of lean body tissue than unfit
individuals of the same body weight
overload principle the more you do, the more you're capable of

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) -the energy carrying molecule in the body
-ATP must be generate continuously since muscles have only enough ATP for 1-3 seconds of
activity
, Chapter 13: Nutrition and Physical Activity
Questions With Solutions
-ATP provides energy for all body processes
What do muscles do after depleting ATP stores? they turn to other sources:
-Creatine phosphate (CR) stores some energy that can be used to make ATP
- Creatine phosphate stores enough energy for 3-15 seconds of maximal physical effort
(e.g. sprinting, jumping, for very brief periods of time)
During first 15s of exercise, what fuel is used? What happens after that? -ATP in muscles
is used for the first 1-3 s of activity
-then for the next 8-10s Phosphocreatine stores are used
-after the creatine phosphate stores have been used up, the lungs still haven't had enough time to
produce O2 so anaerobic metabolism must occur, this lasts for the first 2-3 min of exercise
-after his aerobic metabolism occurs
-both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism use carbohydrates to produce ATP
what is the primary carbohydrate used to generate ATP? glucose
