KNH 188 LATEST 2026 EXAM STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔The science of objectively monitoring physical activity with step counting or
accelerometry is now considered to be the methods of choice to best assess daily levels
of physical activity with the best cost. - ✔✔true
✔✔Physical activity/exercise interventions alone are as effective in weight loss and
weight maintenance as physical activity/exercise with diet interventions. - ✔✔false
✔✔From an clinical perspective, BMI is not the best gauge of an individual's level of
overweight and/or obesity and the health concerns thereof. - ✔✔true
✔✔Which of the following descriptions best defines the term exercise? - ✔✔physical
activity that is planned and repeated for a specific purpose
✔✔Total caloric expenditure is not influenced by the volume (i.e., intensity, duration) of
training (physical activity or exercise) that one accumulates over time. - ✔✔false
✔✔To lose 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat, theoretically, you would need to restrict or maintain
energy intake while expending more kilocalories in physical activity and exercise, to the
equivalent of _____ kilocalories. - ✔✔3,500
✔✔The environment in which an individual resides has little influence on his or her
caloric intake. - ✔✔false
✔✔Body mass index (BMI) is limited as a measure of body composition because it does
not take into account lean muscle mass or fat mass of individuals. - ✔✔true
✔✔What is the most changeable component of total energy expenditure (TEE)? -
✔✔physical activity energy expenditure
✔✔Self-reporting instruments are not always reliable because it is difficult for subjects
to recall their activity over an extended time; response bias is introduced because
subjects may want to appear more active than they really are. - ✔✔True
✔✔Adults with chronic conditions should engage in regular physical activity because
doing so can improve their quality of life and reduce the risk of developing new
conditions. - ✔✔true
✔✔O2 consumption (VO2) and energy expenditure (Kcal) are directly related. What is
the constant we use to quantify this relationship? - ✔✔5 Kcal/L O2
, ✔✔It takes about 23.5 hours of physical activity/exercise to get the myriad health
benefits. - ✔✔false
✔✔Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of the ratio between an individual's weight and
height. - ✔✔true
✔✔The minimal amount of body fat needed for normal body function in females is -
✔✔about 12%
✔✔The minimal amount of fat needed for normal body function in males is - ✔✔3% to
5%
✔✔An exercise program that does not result in weight loss does little to protect an
overweight person against premature death. - ✔✔false
✔✔Several research studies have shown that appropriate volumes of physical
activity/exercise, alone, is as effective for weight loss as diet, alone. Moreover, physical
activity/exercise was the primary factor in the prevention of weight regain over time. -
✔✔true
✔✔When evaluating the health of a person of overweight or obese condition which is
the best metric - ✔✔visceral fat
✔✔Initial fitness level is not the the primary factor to determine when setting an exercise
prescription for individuals. - ✔✔false
✔✔ The leading causes of death in the U.S. today are largely lifestyle-related. - ✔✔true
✔✔Smoking:
Increases Heart Rate
Increases Blood Pressure
Irritates the Heart
Decreases HDL-Cholesterol - ✔✔true
✔✔Blockage of arteries supplying the heart is - ✔✔coronary heart disease
✔✔Changing of public health through the legal system or regulatory system or both
include immunizations and prohibition of smoking in public places is an example of
implementation of which pillar of Public Health? - ✔✔Health Administration and Policy
✔✔An individual can be both physically active and physically inactive (leisure time
inactive) on a daily basis. - ✔✔true
