Question 5

The development of which 3 aspects of human behaviour seem to be closely linked in terms of their evolutionary history?

Answer 5

Tool use

Language

Cognition

Question 6

Which class of lever has evolution typically favoured in relation the mechanical configuration of our skeletal muscles?

Answer 6

class 3

Question 7

statements regarding the force-velocity curve for human muscle contraction are TRUE?

Answer 7

As As the load increases the velocity of muscle shortening decreases.

As At some load, no shortening will occur, and at loads higher than this only lengthening (negative velocities) will occur.

Question 8

statements about human evolution that you feel are true.

Answer 8

Fossil evidence indicates a relationship exists between the rapid evolution of brain size, language and tool-use

Human bodies have evolved to be excellent all-rounders (i.e., good at different types of movement)

Human bodies are well adapted for endurance running in hot environments

Question 9

Which of the following practice strategies effectively improve motor learning

Answer 9

Post-practice sleep (via neural consolidation)

Distributed practice scheduling

High contextual interferenc

Question 10

How does activity tracking using accelerometers improve on the energy expenditure estimation compared to simple pedometers?

Answer 10

The acceleration profile can identify activity type

Intensity can be more accurately represented

Question 11

what is the largest component of daily energy use?

Answer 11

basal metabolism.

Question 12
