25
Q

What is another name for epinephrine and norepinephrine

A

Adrenaline and Noradrenaline

26
Q

When does norepinephrine increase markedly

A

During activities that exceed 50% VO2 Max

27
Q

When does epinephrine stay constant

A

During activities under 60% VO2 Max

28
Q

True or False:

Epinephrine is good for anaerobic exercise

29
Q

True or False:

Epinephrine does not help with glycolysis

30
Q

True or False:

Cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine are big in fuel source regeneration

31
Q

When is cortisol used anaerobic high intensity or aerobic low intensity exercises

A

Aerobic low intensity exercise

32
Q

What does insulin do (3)

A
  1. Store glycogen
  2. Promotes glucose entry in cells
  3. Helps with protein synthesis
33
Q

What does glucagon do (3)

A
  1. Increases blood glucose levels
  2. Breakdown of glycogen and glucose
  3. Mobilization of glycogen and glucose
34
Q

What happens to [insulin] as [cortisol] increases

A

It should decrease

35
Q

True or False:

Men and women had the same response to exercise when it came to epinephrine, norepinephrine, insulin, and cortisol

36
Q

Which hormone concentrations increased with exercise epinephrine, insulin, norepinephrine, or cortisol

A

Epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol

37
Q

Which hormone concentrations decreased with exercise epinephrine, insulin, norepinephrine, or cortisol

38
Q

What happens to the magnitude of hormonal response to a standard exercise load with endurance training

A

It decreases

39
Q

What accounts for the decrease in hormonal response due to endurance training (2)

A
  1. Improved target tissue sensitivity

2. Improved responsiveness to a given amount of hormone

40
Q

Who has a greater hormonal response maximal exercise trained subjects or untrained subjects

A

Trained subjects

41
Q

True or False:

Trained individuals release more hormones than untrained individuals

42
Q

What is GH’s response to endurance training

A

No effect on resting values, but less dramatic rise during exercise

43
Q

What is cortisol’s response to endurance training

A

Slight elevation during exercise

44
Q

What is epinephrine and norepinephrine’s response to endurance training

A

Decreased secretion at rest and at the same absolute exercise intensity after training

45
Q

What is insulin’s response to endurance training

A

Increased sensitivity to insulin; normal decrease in insulin during exercise is greatly reduced with training

46
Q

What are the hormonal factors that are responsible for exercise induced changes in muscle size and function during resistance training (3)

A
  1. Changes in hepatic and extra hepatic hormone clearance rates
  2. Differential rates of hormone secretion
  3. Altered receptor site activation via neurohumoral control
47
Q

What are the 2 main hormones that affect adaptions to resistance training

A
  1. GH

2. Testosterone

48
Q

Was there a difference in testosterone levels between 5 RM load with 3 min rest and 10 RM with 1 min rest before, during, or after exercise

A

Same before and after

Slight increase during for 10 RM with 1 min rest

49
Q

Was there a difference in hGH levels between 5 RM load with 3 min rest and 10 RM with 1 min rest before, during, or after exercise

A

Same before

Increased during and after for 10 RM with 1 min rest

50
Q

True or False:

The amount of white blood cells produced increases with exercise

51
Q

True or False:

Exercise causes neutrophil production to mimic that of a person with infection

52
Q

How does moderate exercise affect immune functions

A

It boosts natural immune functions and host defenses for up to several hours

53
Q

How does exhaustive exercise affect immune functions

A

It severely depresses the body’s first line of defense against infection

54
Q

True or False:

As we age our ability to produce immune cells decreases

55
Q

True or False:

There is never a point where exercise is bad for the immune system

56
Q

True or False:

The appropriate dose of exercise is beneficial for the immune system

57
Q

How does aerobic train affect natural immune function in young and old individuals and obese persons during weight loss

A

Positively

58
Q

What are the positive effects seen with aerobic training (3)

A
  1. Enhanced functional capacity of natural cytotoxic immune mechanisms
  2. Diminished age related decrease in T-cell function
  3. Diminished age related decrease in cytokine production
59
Q

Motivation

A

Don’t quit now you are almost home free!!!!!
