Question 6

Answer 8

increases, increases

Question 9

Glucagon can have which of the following effects: anabolic , permissive , catabolic

Answer 9

permissive
catabolic

Question 10

Vertical jump performance is heavily reliant on recruitment of __________ muscle fibres.

Answer 10

2B

Question 11

ATP stores are ____________ at the __________ of a Wingate test.

Answer 11

highest, beginning

Question 12

Assessment of muscular fitness:

i. Name one component of neuromuscular fitness assessed by the Shuttle Run test? (1 mark)

ii. (a) When testing lower limb neuromuscular performance in an elderly and/or clinical population, would it be better to use the Shuttle Run test or the Timed Up-and-Go test? (1 mark)

(b) Provide one reason to explain your answer to (a). (2 marks)

Answer 12

i. Acceleration, deceleration, agility, hand-eye coordination, balance, etc.

ii.

(a) Timed Up and Go test

(b) - The Shuttle Run test is only appropriate to be administered in a young, healthy AND fit/athletic population as a large floor effect can be observed when implemented outside of this demographic.

• The Timed Up and Go test would be considered the most appropriate test to administer in an ageing, clinical and/or falls-risk population as there is a lot of reference data and diagnostic cut-points for it.
