ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist ExamQuestions And Accurate Answers
Physical Activity - Answer Any bodily movement produced by contracting skeletal
muscles, with an increase of energy expenditure.
Exercise - Answer Planned, purposeful, repetitive
Physical Fitness - Answer Attributes or characteristics that individuals have achieved
that related to their ability to perform physical activity
3 metabolic pathways the body uses to creates ATP - Answer 1. Creatine Phosphate
2. anaerobic glycolysis
3. 0xidative system
Claudication -Answer pain in the leg is induced by exercise, usually because of an artery
obstruction.
Creatine Phosphate system -Answer Small amounts of CP are stored within each cell.
Simple one to one trade off that allows for the rapid production of ATP. ONLY for use
during short bouts of exercise. less that 10 seconds.
Anaerobic glycolysis -Answer No oxygen required. NExt most immediate energy source.
break down carbs (glucose or glycogen) into pyruvate. Used during medium-duration
exercise. no more than about 90 seconds.
Aerobic glycolysis (oxidative system) - Answer Oxygen dependent. As exercise intensity
decreases allowing for longer duration activities, use of the oxidative system increases.
(Krebs cycle and ETC). Produce ATP in the mitochondria of the cell--requires oxygen.
Lasts longer than 1-2 minutes.
,What is VO2? - Answer The volume of oxygen the body consumes. VO2 max is the
highest volume of oxygen the body can consume.
Stroke Volume - Fill in the volume of blood the heart ejects with each beat.
How does SV increase with workload? - Answer Similar to HR, it increases as workload
increases but only up to ~40% to 60% of VO2max. The percentages can be decreases in
sedentary individuals and increased with training.
What happens to resting HR as stroke volume increases? -Answer it decreases as more
blood being pumped per beat allows heart to beat less often.
What is cardiac output? -Answer a measure of blood pumped per minute. Product of
stroke volume and heart rate.
What does Diastolic Blood pressure due during exercise? -Answer remains stable or
decreases slightly.
What is rate pressure product? -Answer is an estimate of myocardial oxygen demand.
Product of HR and Systolic BP. HR X SBP
What is Fick equation that is used to find out VO2 max? -Answer VO2max = HRmax X
SVmax X aVO2 difference max (arteriovenous oxygen difference)
What is the gold standard measure Cardiorespiratory fitness? -Answer VO2 max during
open circuit spirometry.
How does a submaximal exercise test work? - Answer It estimates VO2 max from the HR
response to submaximal single stage or graded exercise.
,absolute oxygen consumption vs. relative oxygen consumption - Answer absolute is the
raw volume of O2 consumed by the body. Relative is the volume of O2 consumed relative
to body weight. Useful to compare fitness levels between individuals.
What is one of the largest components of PA-related energy expenditure? - Answer
Occupational Physical Ativity
5 Health related physical fitness components - Answer Cardiorespiratory endurance,
body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility
6 Skill (performance) related physical fitness components - Answer Agility,
coordination, balance, power, reaction time, and speed
cardiorespiratory endurance - Answer ability of circulatory system and respiratory
system to supply o2 during sustained physical activity
Body composition - Answer relative amounts of muscle, fat, bone, and other vital parts
of the body
Muscular strength - Answer Ability of muscle to exert force
muscular endurance - Answer ability of muscle to continue to perform without fatigue
flexibility - Answer ROM at a joint. as per the skeletal muscles and not any external
forces.
Agility - Answer ability to change position of the body in space with speed and accuracy
coordination - Answer the ability to use the senses together with body parts to complete
a task in a smooth and accurate manner
balance - Answer the maintenance of equilibrium while stationary OR moving
, reaction time - Answer the time between stimulation and the start of the reaction to said
stimulus
speed- Answer the ability to perform a movement in a short amount of time
The weekly/daily physical activity recommendations of ACSM - Answer 150 minutes
Moderate PA per week, (30 min or more most days of the week), 75 minutes of vigorous
intensity
Can most sedentary individuals safely begin a low-to moderate intensity PA Program
without the need for baseline testing or medical clearance? - Answer Yes indeed
Most common musculoskeletal injuries occur in what area of the body? - Answer lower
body- particularly the knee or foot
Who is most at risk for sudden cardiac death? - Answer Sedentary individuals
performing infrequent exercise
Light PA is defined as - Answer <3 MET's
Moderate PA is defined as - Answer 3 to <6 MET's
Vigorous PA is defined as - Answer >/=6 MET's
What is 1 MET? Why do we use METs? - Answer 1 MET = the relative oxygen
consumption at rest. or, 3.5 mL per kg per minute. It is a simple way for the general
public to estimate their exercise intensity. Also used to calculate energy expenditure
over time.
What is a kilocalorie? what is it also known as? - Answer AKA: Calorie. estimate of
