Study Notes

Alveoli Function

Alveoli are critical for gas exchange but do not transfer all substances; option B is excluded.

Power Test Explanation

The standing long jump effectively measures power, exemplifying explosive strength; choice A represents the best explanation.

Skill Development

Skill development is essential in sports, with the brain managing actions through learned motor skills, emphasizing the importance of training.

Exercise Principle of Progression

Continuous running for three miles daily over 10 weeks does not exemplify the principle of progression; marked as false because it lacks variation.

Mental Commitment in Sports

Mental commitment is crucial for athlete performance under stress. It involves focus on objectives with four key components: concentration, confidence, control, and commitment.

Workout Routine and Overload Principle

To incorporate the overload principle, gradually increase the workout intensity:
- Week 1: Run 1 mile at 10 min/mile.
- Week 2: Run 1.2 miles at 10 min/mile.
- Week 3: Run 1.5 miles at 9.5 min/mile.
- Alternative: Increase weight lifted weekly (e.g., 50lbs to 60lbs).

One influence on skill-related fitness cannot be modified for improvement; option A indicates an unchangeable factor.

Healthy Diet Characteristics

An aspect that does not characterize a healthy diet is identified as option C.

Anaerobic Exercise

Weight lifting is categorized under anaerobic exercise, contributing to muscle development and strength.

Hypertension Outcomes

Potential results of hypertension are noted in option A, highlighting health risks.

Anaerobic vs. Aerobic Exercises

Both exercise types are vital: anaerobic focuses on muscle mass and strength while aerobic enhances endurance and cardio fitness.

Larynx Significance

The larynx, or voice box, enables speech and provides protection to the trachea, reinforcing its biological significance.

Healthy Blood Pressure Levels

Healthy blood pressure is defined by option C, establishing a baseline for cardiovascular health.

Reaction Time

The duration taken to respond to a stimulus is referred to as reaction time; represented by blank in the statement.

Cardiovascular System Structure

The cardiovascular system is a one-way transport system for blood, ensuring efficient circulation throughout the body.
