Which of the following physiological changes does NOT occur when a client improves aerobic
capacity?
A. The muscles will be able to extract more oxygen from the blood.
B. Total lung volume will increase in proportion to the total accumulated time of high-intensity
exercise.
C. The oxygen carrying capacity of the blood will increase.
D. The amount of air the lungs can take in will increase because of increases in the rate and depth
of breathing.
Answer: B
As the intensity of dynamic exercise increases, which of the following sets of responses occurs?
Heart rate and systolic blood pressure increase, diastolic pressure remains unchanged.
From a seated position, with dumbbells to the sides, raising the dumbbells laterally to shoulder
level with elbows slightly flexed, exercises primarily the _______:
