Which of the following statements is true regarding progression of exercise?
Group of answer choices
For older or less fit clients, it is better to increase exercise intensity instead of exercise duration.
Increase frequency and duration at the same time while keeping the intensity at the same level in order to minimize the risk of injury.
For continued improvement, the cardiopulmonary system must be systematically overloaded with periodic increases in frequency, duration, and intensity of the exercise.
With an older adult, it is more beneficial to use the metabolic equivalent (MET) levels when progressing his exercise prescription.
For continued improvement, the cardiopulmonary system must be systematically overloaded with periodic increases in frequency, duration, and intensity of the exercise.

Which of the following are correct general indications for terminating a graded exercise test in low-risk adults?
red face or excessive perspiration, leg cramping, heart rate increase of more than 10 beats per minute with increased intensity
physical signs of severe fatigue, rise of diastolic pressure to 105 mmHg, client report of mild heart “fluttering” sensation

dizziness, increase in systolic blood pressure of greater than 5mmHg from baseline blood pressure, nausea
a client’s request to stop, a drop in systolic blood pressure of >10 mmHg from baseline blood pressure despite increase in workload, onset of angina-like symptoms

speed, body weight, and age
resting energy expenditures, sex, and incline
metabolic baseline expenditures, work rate, and grade
grade, resting energy expenditures, and speed

Which statement is correct regarding the submaximal treadmill exercise tests?
Submaximal tests assume a linear increase in heart rate with successive increments in workload.
The multistage model is much more accurate than the single-stage model of submaximal testing.
Individuals who have low cardiorespiratory fitness levels perform a greater amount of work at a given submaximal heart rate than those who are well conditioned.
VO2max can be predicted using only the multistage model of submaximal exercise testing.
Submaximal tests assume a linear increase in heart rate with successive
During a graded exercise test, what other criteria may be used to indicate the attainment of a true VO2max?
failure of the heart rate to increase with increased exercise intensity
rating of perceived exertion (RPE) greater than 15 using the original Borg scale (6-20)
venous lactate concentration exceeding 6 mmol/L
respiratory exchange ratio (RER) lower than 1.15
failure of the heart rate to increase with increased exercise intensity
According to the ACSM (2018), the appropriate initial exercise intensity for healthy adults is _____ to <90% VO2R or HRR, if the client has an initial cardiorespiratory fitness classification of fair to excellent.

65%
50%
40%
not 65 maybe 40
The target volume of exercise for adults as recommended by ACSM is _______ MET min/wk?

> 5,000
> 1,500 to 3,500
> 150 to 400
> 500 to 1,000
What is the correct order and time period for the stages of progression in an exercise program?
initial training (1 to 4 weeks), ramped progression (2 to 4 months), plateau (6 to 8 months), and maintenance (regular long-term basis)
initial conditioning (1 to 6 weeks), performance enhancement (4 to 8 weeks), and preservation (lifetime commitment)
initial conditioning (1 to 4 weeks), improvement (4 to 6 weeks), and maintenance (8 weeks and beyond)
initial conditioning (1 to 6 weeks), improvement (4 to 8 months), and maintenance (regular long-term basis)
initial conditioning (1 to 6 weeks), improvement (4 to 8 months), and maintenance (regular long-term basis)
High-intensity interval training may be better suited for ____________ and ______________.
maintaining exercise adherence for the general population; stimulating long-term (e.g., 8-week) improvements
adding variety to the exercise program; stimulating short-term improvements
individuals initiating an aerobic exercise program; lower aerobic endurance
improving strength in the lower extremity; improving lactate acid threshold training
adding variety to the exercise program; stimulating short-term improvements
Which statement regarding discontinuous training is correct?
ACSM recommends the use of discontinuous training for symptomatic individuals who are able to tolerate only low-intensity exercise for short periods.
Exercise modes listed as type A, type B, type C, or type D are suitable for discontinuous training.
Because of the intermittent nature of this form of training, the exercise intensity and total amount of work performed is typically lower than with continuous training.
Discontinuous training is not widely used for improvements in athletes’ performance.
Exercise modes listed as type A, type B, type C, or type D are suitable for discontinuous training.
