Question 1

Physical Activity

Answer 1

All body movements produced by skeletal muscles, resulting in substantial increases in energy expenditure

Question 2

Exercise

Answer 2

Planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement done to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness

Question 3

Sedentary

Answer 3

Activity that expends no more than 1.5 times the resting energy level with seated or reclined

Question 4

Physical Fitness

Answer 4

A balance of health-related attributes that allows you to perform moderate to vigorous physical activities on a regular basis and complete daily physical activities without undue fatigue

Question 5

Cardiorepiratory Fitness

Answer 5

The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply oxygen to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity.

Question 6

Aerobic Exercise

Answer 6

Prolonged exercise that requires oxygen to make energy for activity

Question 7

Aerobic Capacity (Power)

Answer 7

The functional status of the cardiorespiratory system; refers specifically to the volume of oxygen the muscles consume during exercise

Question 8

Muscular Strength

Answer 8

The maximal force that a muscle is capable of exerting in one contraction

Question 9

One Repetition Maximum (1 RM)

Answer 9

The amount of weight of resistance that can be lifted or moved only once

Question 10

Muscular Endurance

Answer 10

A muscle’s ability to exert force repeatedly without fatiguing or the ability to sustain a muscular contraction for a length of time

Question 11

Flexibility

Answer 11

The range of motion, or the amount of movement possible, at a particular joint or series of joints

Question 12

Body Composition

Answer 12

The relative proportions of fat and fat-free (muscle, bone, water, organs) tissues in the body

Question 13

SMART Goals

Answer 13

Specific
Measurable
Action-oriented
Realistic
Time-oriented

Question 14

FITT

Answer 14

The acronym for frequency, intensity, time, and type; the terms that describe the essential components of a program or plan to improve a health-related component of physical fitness

Question 15

Elements of FITT

Answer 15

Frequency - How many days
Intensity - How much effort is needed
Time - Duration of exercise
Type - What kind of exercises

Question 16

Target Heart Rate

Answer 16

The heart rate range of aerobic exercise that leads to improved cardiorespiratory fitness (i.e., 64 to 96 percent of maximal heart rate)

Question 17

Perceived Exertion

Answer 17

The subjective perception of effort during exercise that can be used to monitor exercise intensity

Question 18

Static Stretching

Answer 18

Stretching techniques that slowly and gradually lengthen a muscle or group of muscles and their tendons

Question 19

Dynamic Stretches

Answer 19

Controlled body movements performed with an active full range of motion, chosen to mimic function exercise or sport activities, and included in a safe and effective exercise warm-up

Question 20

Hyponatremia

Answer 20

An abnormally low concentration of sodium in the blood

Question 21

Water Intoxication

Answer 21

A potentially fatal form of hyponatremia

Question 22

Traumatic Injuries

Answer 22

Injuries that are accidental and occur suddenly

Question 23

Overuse Injuries

Answer 23

Injuries that result from the cumulative effects of day-today stresses placed on tendons, muscles and joints

Question 24

Heat Cramps

Answer 24

Involuntary and forcible muscle contractions that occur during or following exercise in hot and/or humid weather

Question 25

Heat Exhaustion

Answer 25

A heat stress illness cause by significant dehydration resulting from exercise in hot and/or humid conditions

Question 26

Heatstroke

Answer 26

A deadly heat stress illness resulting from dehydration and overexertion in hot and/or humid conditions

Question 27

Hypothermia

Answer 27

A potentially fatal condition caused by abnormally low body core tempurature

Question 28

What does RICE stand for?

Answer 28

Acronym for the standard first-aid treatment for most mild traumatic and overuse injuries:
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
