All of the following are true about exercise except:

No pain, no gain.

Exercise comes with an inherent risk linked to intensity and frequency.

Risks associated with exercise are lower than those associated with not exercising.

Whether you are exercising or not, your body is producing heat.

Exercise cannot cause a cardiac event unless there is underlying heart disease.

The Exercise Prescription Model (EPM) is a guideline for:

Cardiorespiratory exercise for children

FITT individuals

Individuals beginning a new exercise program

American adults

Frequency, intensity, time, and type of cardiorespiratory exercise (FITT)

Cardiorespiratory fitness is especially effective:

For increasing a person's capacity to work

For reducing the risk of Type II diabetes

For reducing the risk of heart disease

All of the above

All of the following are true of interval training except:

It increases cardiorespiratory fitness in less time than traditional exercise.

It has the potential to improve the working of the parasympathetic nervous system.

It is an appropriate program for even the average person.

It involves keeping your pulse as high as possible between intervals.

It can be broken up into segments during the day.

The overload principle means that:

Stress is required to improve the cardiorespiratory system

Overloading on exercise leads to the principle of reversibility

Weight training is the best way to increase endurance

Being overweight keeps you from being active

You should carry weights when you jog or walk

All of the following are true of the cool-down after exercise except:

It discourages hypotension, dizziness, and fainting.

It may decrease the risk of cardiac irregularities in high-risk individuals.

It reduces heart rate and temperature.

It decreases lactic acid levels and promotes recovery from fatigue.

It facilitates the venous movement of blood from the heart.

NSAIDs are

Designed to increase levels of serotonin

Steroids designed to increase testosterone levels

Imbued with 10 times the amount of caffeine found in a soda

Associated with increases in stomach and kidney problems

A crucial component to functional fitness

All of the following items are benefits of appropriate cardiorespiratory activities except:

Strengthened heart muscle for more efficient pumping

Development of more blood vessels

Increased resting heart rate

Increased level of good cholesterol (HDL)

Increased metabolism

Neurogenesis, the development of new neurons:

Improve one's metabolic rate

Is essential to improved mental health

Results in improved cardiorespiratory fitness

Results from mental exercises to improve the brain

Is linked to regular physical activity and exercise

Cardiorespiratory fitness improves fitness in all of the following ways except:

Functional fitness helps correct dysfunction by:

Functional fitness is proper muscular strength and endurance designed to:

Of the various inadequacies in performing the functional fitness assessments, which should be addressed and remedied first?

Muscle weakness in lifting exercise

Imbalances or asymmetries between left and right sides

Deviations in posture assessment

Heels coming off the ground when performing a deep squat

Cardiorespiratory fitness

Good posture is:

Balance of the left and right hips

Proper alignment of the musculoskeletal system

Proper alignment that feels stiff

Proper alignment of the head and back

Balance of the left and right shoulders

Compared to men, progressive resistance training by women:

Results in women exceeding the muscle mass for men

Increases their strength but not to the extent in percentage or amount seen in men

Can result in a greater percentage increase in arm and leg strength

Results in a superior resting metabolic rate

Produces changes that are essentially the same as those seen in men

The amount of exercise needed to maintain muscular fitness gains is _________ the amount it takes to achieve it.

Muscles burn calories and help maintain normal body weight:

The minimum amount of resistance or overload needed to ensure progression is what percentage of the maximum force that a muscle or muscle group can exert during one repetition?

Muscular fitness can help hypertensive individuals:

Lower diastolic blood pressure

Lower systolic blood pressure

Raise both systolic and diastolic blood pressure

Raise systolic and lower diastolic blood pressure

Lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure

A strength training session can affect RMR by:

The fundamental principles included in any health-related fitness program are the principles of progression, overload, reversibility, and:

A healthy level of muscular strength and endurance can:

Cool down after a bout of strength training by:

Consuming a high protein drink

Taking a cold shower

Light stretching for 10 minutes or more

Taking a hot shower

Resting until the heart rate reaches its resting rate

A basic guideline for breathing properly while lifting includes:

Holding your breath during the eccentric phase and exhaling during the concentric phase

Inhaling during the eccentric phase and exhaling your breath during the concentric phase

Holding your breath throughout the lift

Inhaling during the eccentric phase and holding your breath during the concentric phase
