Exercise Physiology Class Quiz

An in-class activity involving practical application of course material.

Requires active participation and collaboration among students.

The evaluation plan for FTHP 212 outlining all the assessments and their respective weights.

A formal report based on one of the five labs in the course.

Requests for extensions must be submitted at least 48 hours before the due date. This applies to weekend due dates as well.

Late or missed assessments will not be accepted in FTHP 212. No make-ups or supplementary work will be provided.

Students must be physically present in class to submit associated in-class assessments.

Individualized Studies Plans (ISPs) need to be communicated to the professor by January 17th. Specific requests for accommodations require at least one week's advance notice.

The study of how the body's systems respond to and adapt to physical activity. It explores physiological changes during exercise and the impact of training on the body.

A state of equilibrium in the body's internal environment, maintained by various regulatory mechanisms.

A steady and unchanging state of a particular variable during exercise, although not necessarily at resting levels.

The use of specialized equipment to measure the body's response to exercise, such as treadmills, stationary bikes, or arm ergometers.

The total amount of energy expended by the body, measured in calories or joules.

The maximum force a muscle or muscle group can generate in a single contraction.

The ability of a muscle to repeatedly generate force over time.

The maximum weight that can be lifted in one complete repetition with proper technique.

A test that measures the maximum force a muscle can generate during a single contraction.

A test that measures the maximum force a muscle can generate during a controlled lengthening contraction.

A strength assessment involving multiple repetitions (6-10) of a weightlifting exercise to estimate your 1-Rep Max (1RM).

The maximum weight you can lift in a single repetition.

A method to assess your strength potential by measuring your ability to lift weights for a specific number of repetitions (6-10).

Prepping your body before the 6-10 RM test with lighter weights for 5-10 repetitions to warm up your muscles. This prepares your body for the upcoming heavier lifts.

The percentage of your 1RM that corresponds to a specific number of completed repetitions. This helps you understand how your strength varies based on the number of repetitions.

Calculating your estimated 1-RM based on the weight lifted and the number of repetitions completed during the 6-10 RM test, using a chart or formula for specific rep ranges.

A common example of a 6-10 RM test focusing on upper body strength, used to estimate an individual’s 1RM for the bench press exercise.

The process of finding your 1-RM through a series of increasingly challenging weightlifting sets, adjusting the weight based on your ability to complete a specific number of repetitions (6-10).

The product of strength and speed in a movement. The faster you can move a weight, the more power you produce.

The body's ability to remain contracted or contract repeatedly against a submaximal load.

A muscle that fatigues quickly has a low endurance capacity.

Type IIx (FG) fibers are best for power athletes because they contract quickly and generate a lot of force.

Using a moderate load and increasing the number of repetitions can improve muscular endurance.

Women often outperform men in endurance tests, especially at lower workloads.

Repeated contractions, sustained contractions, dynamic endurance tests, and relative load endurance tests are all ways to evaluate muscular endurance.

The ability of the body to produce ATP (energy) without oxygen.

The maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during exercise, reflecting cardiovascular fitness.

The amount of work performed, calculated as force multiplied by distance.

The rate at which work is performed, calculated as work divided by time.

The body's ability to regulate its temperature, involving responses like skin blood vessel dilation/constriction and sweating.

The process of maintaining blood glucose levels, involving the hormone insulin. Elevated blood glucose signals the pancreas to release insulin, causing cells to take up glucose.

The vertical displacement during treadmill exercise, calculated as the percentage grade multiplied by the distance traveled.
