Question 2

The fundamental tasks needed to manage basic self-car activities, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation and feeding, and homemaking

Answer 2

Activities of daily living (ADL)

Question 3

The process and speed from which frequency, intensity, time and type are increased

Answer 3

Rate of progression

Question 4

The level of commitment to a behavior or plan of action

Answer 4

Adherence

Question 5

The state of having a disease

Answer 5

Morbidity

Question 6

The state or a risk of death or dying

Answer 6

Mortality

Question 7

The number of training sessions in a given timeframe

Answer 7

Frequency

Question 8

The level of demand placed on the body by a given activity

Answer 8

Intensity

Question 9

A mathematical formula used to estimate an individual’s maximal heart rate: 208 - (0.7 x age)

Answer 9

Tanaka formula

Question 10

A predetermined exercising heart rate

Answer 10

Target heart rate

Question 11

An aerobic test that measures the participant’s ability to talk or hold a conversation during an activity at carious intensity levels

Answer 11

Talk test

Question 12

The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch from predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production

Answer 12

Ventilatory threshold (Tvent)

Question 13

The point at which the body uses an equal mix of carbohydrate and fat as fuel sources

Answer 13

Ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1)

Question 14

The duration an individual is engaged in a given activity

Answer 14

Time

Question 15

The mode of physical activity in which an individual is engaged

Answer 15

Type

Question 16

Excessive frequency, volume, or intensity or training, resulting in reduction of performance, which is also caused by a lack of proper rest and recovery

Answer 16

Overtraining

Question 17

An exercise training method defined by intervals of near-maximal intensity broken up by relatively short rest periods

Answer 17

High-intensity interval training (HIIT)

Question 18

Aerobic exercise that remains at a relatively constant intensity, including a stable heart rate and oxygen consumption

Answer 18

Steady-state (SS) aerobic exercise

Question 19

The amount of pleasure derived from performing a physical activity

Answer 19

Enjoyment

Question 20

The total amount of work performed in each timeframe, typically 1 week

Answer 20

Volume

Question 21

Energy expenditure through daily activities outside of structured exercise, such as walking, completing household chores, and taking the stairs

Answer 21

Nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)

Question 22

The way an exercise program advances in intensity and/or volume to continually challenge the individual

Answer 22

Progression

Question 23

Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise immediately following

Answer 23

General warm-up

Question 24

Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those to be included in the more intense exercise immediately following

Answer 24

Specific warm-up

Question 25

Refers to the intensity level halfway between ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1) and ventilatory threshold 2 (VT2)

Answer 25

Midpoint

Question 26

Process by which oxygen is transferred to the muscles from the lungs

Answer 26

Ventilation

Question 27

The process of contracting the inspiratory muscles to move air into the body

Answer 27

Inspiration
