HEA 230 FINAL EXAM REVIEW | 2026 UPDATE | RATED A+
Medial - (ANSWER)Toward the midline of the body
Lateral - (ANSWER)Away from the midline of the body
The right ventricle pumps blood to the - (ANSWER)lungs
The left ventricle pumps blood to the - (ANSWER)body
frontal plane - (ANSWER)divides body into front and back; actions in plane include jumping jacks, side
shuffles and lateral raises
saggital plane - (ANSWER)divides the body into a right and left side; actions in plane include flexion
and extension, running and walking
transverse plane - (ANSWER)horizontal division of the body into upper and lower portions; actions in
plane include rotational movements
Flexibility - (ANSWER)ROM around a joint; affected by age, gender and scar tissue
Shoulder Shrugs/Upright Row - (ANSWER)strengthen trapezius, levator scapulae
pull ups (chin ups) - (ANSWER)strengthen latissimus dorsi/biceps bracchi
phosphagen system (ATP-CP) - (ANSWER)creatine phosphate helps create ATP in muscles; lasts about
10 seconds
aerobic glycolysis - (ANSWER)slower rate of ATP production; lower-intensity, longer- duration
activities; produces CO2 as waste product
, HEA 230 FINAL EXAM REVIEW | 2026 UPDATE | RATED A+
anaerobic glycolysis - (ANSWER)Glucose is broken down without oxygen to make 2 ATP; produces
lactic acid
active straight leg raise test - (ANSWER)used to assess hamstring flexibility and hip range of motion
long term adaptations to cardio exercise - (ANSWER)increased blood lipid and glucose control,
decreased resting heart rate, increased stroke volume
Type I muscle fibers - (ANSWER)slow twitch and have a high oxidative capacity
Type IIa muscle fibers - (ANSWER)most adaptable of fibers; respond to different training methods by
becoming either more oxidative or increasing speed
Type IIx fibers - (ANSWER)Anaerobic fibers, fast glycolytic muscle fibers
Agonist muscle - (ANSWER)muscle primarily responsible for movement
antagonist muscle - (ANSWER)The muscle opposite the agonist, which must relax and lengthen during
contraction of the agonist.
synergist muscle - (ANSWER)Muscle that assists a prime mover
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) - (ANSWER)A method of assessing body composition by
running a low-level electrical current through the body.
SA node - (ANSWER)pacemaker of the heart; found in the right atrium
3 skinfold sites for women - (ANSWER)Triceps, thigh, suprailium
diastolic pressure - (ANSWER)Blood pressure that remains between heart contractions.
