6
Q
The fitness program’s goal is to motivate year-roundphysical conditioning. What does the program emphasize?(425)

What are the five major components of fitness? (425)
A
1) Cardiorespiratory endurance; 2) body composition; 3)muscular strength; 4) muscular endurance; and 5) flexibility.(Warm-up and cool-down are also essential components of acomplete physical fitness program.)
8

What is cardiorespiratory endurance? (425)
A
Sometimes called aerobic fitness, it is the ability to performlarge muscle, dynamic, moderate-to-high intensity exercisefor prolonged periods.
9

A
Three to five.
15
Q
Fitness leaders must be aware of the dangers of__ since the risk of injury increases with increasingworkout duration and intensity. (425)
A
Overtraining.
16
Q
Improvements in cardiovascular fitness are directlyrelated to the __ of the exercise performed. (425)
A
Intensity
17
Q
What is the minimum training intensity required inan exercise session? (425)
A

18
Q
The Target Heart Rate (THR) corresponds to anintensity sufficient to achieve cardiorespiratory improvement.T/F (425-426)
A
True.
19
Q
In cardiovascular training, how do you calculateyour Target Heart Rate (THR)? (426-Fig)
A
Subtract your age from 220. Then multiply by .7 to find thebottom THR and by .9 to find the top THR.

A
50 to 85%.
21
Q
__ is the time spent exercising with the most benefitoccurring in the Target Heart Rate (THR) zone. (426)
A
Duration. (The more intense the activity, the shorter the timeneeded to produce or maintain the training effect.)
22
Q
Only sustained activities requiring a large amount ofexercise using large muscle groups will improve cardiovascularfitness. Give several examples. (426)
A
Running, rowing, jogging, vigorous walking, jumping rope,stationary cycling, swimming and stair climbing.
23

Successful muscular strength and endurance programsemploy what five principles? (426)
A
he principles of I) specificity; 2) regularity; 3) recovery; 4)balance; and 5) variety.
24
Q
The principle of ___ dictates you provide resistanceto the muscle groups that need to be strengthened.(426)
A
Specificity. (Strengthening muscles used m work-relatedmovements can improve job performance.)
25
The principle of specificity states: if an Airman wishesto improve performance for a work-related task, thenstrengthening the identified muscles will ensure maximumcarryover value for his or her __ tasks. (426)
Warrior tasks.
26
Exercise must be done regularly to produce a trainingeffect. How many workouts per week produce optimalgains in strength? (426)
Three workouts per week.
27
Can an Airman maintain a moderate level ofstrength by doing proper strength workouts only once aweek? (426)
Yes, for a short period of time, if he or she has already establisheda strong baseline level of muscular fitness.
28
An Airman who exercises three times per weekachieves optimal muscle strength gains when exercising different muscle groups at each workout. T/F (426)
False. (Gains will be minimal as the principle ofregularity is violated.)
29
How many times a week should an Airman exercisethe same muscle group? (426)
A minimum of two times a week.
30
Why should there be at least a 48-hour recovery periodbetween working the same muscle groups? (426)
So the muscles have time to adapt.
31
Consecutive days of hard resistance training for thesame muscle group can be __ . (426)
Detrimental. (Strength training can be done every day, butonly if muscle groups are rotated so the same muscles are nottrained consecutively.)
32
Normally, the recovery time between sets in muscularstrength training should be between __ to __seconds. (427)
30 to 180.
33
The principle of __ states that a strength-trainingprogram should work all major muscle groups in boththe upper and lower body. (427)
Balance.
34
The principle of balance indicates that you shouldwork opposing muscle groups during strength training.Why? (427)
It ensures good muscle strength balance and may reduce therisk of injury. (For example, follow an overhead press with alat pull down exercise.)
35
In a strength-training program, exercises shouldtarget larger muscle groups first. T/F (427)
True. (If smaller muscle groups are worked first, they will beexhausted and too weak to handle the resistance needed tooverload the larger muscle groups.)
36
What is the principle of variety in strength and enduranceprograms? (427)
Enhance results by using different types of equipment andexercises and altering volume and intensity.
37
To enhance variety, change your muscular conditioningto __ -resisted exercises or another form ofresistance training. (427)
Partner-resisted.
38
While adding variety to a strength-training programcan be beneficial, why should Airmen avoid frequentwholesale changes? (427)

39
Prevent injury and muscle soreness with a good__ at the beginning and __ at the end of exercise.(427)
Warm-up and cool down.
40
During the warm-up, perform slow joint rotationexercises. This will help increase the joint's __ of__ .(427)

42
When is the best time to improve your flexibility bystretching? (427)
After exercising, when your muscles are warmest.
43
Hold stretching positions forconds during cool-down. (427)
10 to 15 seconds. (Relax the stretch, then repeat for maximumbenefit.)
44
What are the two most important factors in maintaininga positive body composition and losing excessivebody fat? (427)
Exercise and diet.
45
A realistic weight loss goal is one to two pounds aweek. How is this best accomplished? (427)
By reducing caloric intake and increasing energy expenditure.
46
Why is dieting without exercise an ineffective way tolose weight? (427)
Your body may believe it is being starved and attempt toconserve its fat reserves by slowing its metabolism.
47
Airmen should minimize their daily caloric intakeyet consume all major food groups. What is the minimumcaloric intake for Airmen not under medical supervision?(428)
At least 1,500 calories for men or 1,200 for women.
48
Why don't fad diets and devices or skipping mealsproduce long-term fat loss? (428)
Most weight lost is water and lean muscle tissue, not fat.(Safely losing fat takes time and patience.)
49
In addition to burning calories, exercise helps thebody maintain muscle mass. T/F (428)
True. (It may also keep the body's metabolic rate high.)
50
__ exercise, which uses lots of oxygen, is the bestto burn fat. (428)
Aerobic. (Anaerobic act1v1t1es like sprinting and liftingheavy weights bum little, if any, fat.)
51
Why is exercise alone ineffective for losing weight?(428)
Exercise does not bum enough fat on its own to cause significantweight loss.
52
What activities are included in a good dynamicwarm-up before vigorous exercise? (428)
Airmen should take five to seven minutes slowly 1) joggingor walking; 2) rotating joints; and 3) mimicking the activitiesto be performed.
53
Why is it important to slowly return the body to itsresting state after exercise? (428)
Stopping suddenly after vigorous exercise can potentiallylead to health complications.
54
How should you cool-down after exercising? (428)
1) Repeat the dynamic warm-up activities; 2) be careful notto overstretch; and 3) hold stretches for 15-30 seconds ormore to improve flexibility.
55
Do not limit __ training to cool-down periodsonly. (428)
Flexibility. (Stretching takes very little time relative to thebenefits gained and can easily be done at home or work.)
56
A job that requires repetitive movements, or is moresedentary, decreases tension in specific muscle groups.T/F (428)
False. (Tension increases in the specific muscle groups andmild stretching throughout the day can help.)
