Physiology

Question 0

What are the “anaerobic energy systems”

Answer 0

The Phosphagen System & The Lactic Acid System

Question 1

The body needs a constant supply of ___________________ to provide the needed energy for muscle contraction.

Answer 1

ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

Question 2

Activities that rely on this system include short-term (up to 20 sec), intense activities. (e.g., short sprints, high jumping, heavy weight lifting, etc.)

Answer 2

Phosphagen System (ATP-CP system)

Question 3

This system supplies energy for moderate- to high-intensity activity that results in fatigue after about 45-90 sec. (e.g., running, swimming). In kickboxing, powerful punch and kick combinations sustained for 1-2 min.

Answer 3

Lactic Acid System

Question 4

This source of energy is the primary muscle fuel for long-duration exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming laps, etc. Low- moderate intensity choreography with punch and kick style movements also rely on this system.

Answer 4

Aerobic System

Question 5

One MET is equal to resting VO2 (oxygen consumption) which is approximately 3.5 ml/kg/min

Answer 5

Metabolic Equivalent

Question 6

The demands placed on a body system to systematically and progressively increase over time to cause physiological adaptation.

Answer 6

Overload

Question 7

The ratio of carbon dioxide output (VCO2) to the volume of oxygen consumed (VO2). This ratio is used to estimate the percent contribution of carbohydrates or fat to the energy metabolism

Answer 7

RER (Respiratory Exchange Rate)

Question 8

Exercise programs must be aimed at desired results; a training program must be specific to obtain desired results.

Answer 8

Specificity of training (SAID principle - Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands)

Question 9

Physiological adaptations to overload

Answer 9

Training Effect

Question 10

The fat and nonfat components of the human body

Answer 10

Body Composition

Question 11

The ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to the working muscles.

Answer 11

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

Question 12

The ability of a muscle to exert submaximal force over a long period of time (static) or repeatedly over time (dynamic).

Answer 12

Muscular Endurance

Question 13

The ability of a muscle to move through its full range of motion

Answer 13

Muscular Flexibility

Question 14

The ability of a muscle to exert maximal force

Answer 14

Muscular Strength

Question 15

The ability to change body position and direction quickly and efficiently

Answer 15

Agility

Question 16

The ability to maintain the body in equilibrium

Answer 16

Balance

Question 17

Integration of the nervous and muscular systems to produce correct, graceful, and harmonious body movements

Answer 17

Coordination

Question 18

Work accomplished per unit of time; the product of strength and speed of movement; the ability to produce maximum force in the shortest time.

Answer 18

Power

Question 19

The time required to initiate a response to a given stimulus

Answer 19

Reaction Time

Question 20

The ability to propel the body or part of the body rapidly from one point to another

Answer 20

Speed
