GLPTI- CANFIT PRO THEORY CERTIFIED QUALITY EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2026/27 ASSURED SUCCESS
What is structural tolerance?
Suggests that the strengthening of joints (tendons, ligaments,
and so on) will result in the ability to sustain greater stresses
in training and have greater resistance to injury
Which of canfitpro's nine training principles is best
demonstrated by the example of programming that includes
exercises that target the ankles, knees, hips, and back for a
client who has a goal of running a marathon?
Structural tolerance
What is bioenergetics?
The study of how energy flows through out the human body.
What is energy?
The ability to do work
Define metabolism.
The sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body that
either use or create energy
,When do you reach homeostasis?
When the demand for energy is comfortably met by the supply
available ATP, all body functions can occur with relative ease
and the body is in a state of balance
What is ATP used for?
To store and release energy. It is the body's currency for
energy.
Where would creatine phosphate be used?
It is used in the ATP-CP System. This is the fastest way to
synthesize ATP and provides 10 sec of max intensity! Creatine
Kinase splits the Creatine Phosphate to add phosphate to the
ADP to make ATP for the body.
How does lactate threshold accumulate?
Once the glycogen stores in the muscles are depleted, the
body pulls glucose from the bloodstream but breaks down
pyruvate to form lactic acid. The point at which the body begins
to form beyond what it can metabolize with oxygen present is
LT
,How fast is anaerobic glycolysis?
This system uses glycogen and glucose to fuel the production
of ATP for up to two minutes at max intensity. The body can
break down glucose to make 2 ATP and glycogen to make 3
ATP
What happens in aerobic glycolysis?
Is when glucose breaks down to pyruvate which enters the
mitochondria for the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain
to produce 38-100+ ATP
What are the work-to-rest ratios for the different energy
systems?
ATP-CP- 1:3 or 1:6 so that would 10 sec of work for 30-60 sec
of rest
Anaerobic- 1:2 or 1:5
Aerobic- 2:1 or 1:1
When does the energy continuum change?
It changes depending on the demand for energy and the
particular movement/activity will dictate which process will be
more dominate
, What is an oxygen deficit?
Is when the body does not have enough oxygen to maintain
homeostasis and meet the increased level of activity
What is excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)?
This is the oxygen uptake that takes place during exercise to
repay the oxygen debt created during the session
The ATP-CP system produces ___ ATP per molecule of creatine
phosphate
1
Fatty acid oxidation is fueled by ___ and produces up to ___ ATP
per unit of fuel
Fat and 100
What is the difference between pulmonary circulation and
systemic circulation?
Pulmonary circulation is when the right pump (right atrium +
right ventricle) collects deoxygenated blood from tissue and
moves it to the lungs for waste and reoxygenation. Systemic
Circulation is when the left pump (left atrium + left ventricle)
