When training aerobically, which chamber of the heart most increases in volume and
wall thickness?
a. left ventricle
b. right atrium
c. right ventricle
Give this one a try later!
ANSWER:
a. left ventricle
EXPLANATION:
The left ventricle hypertrophies the most because of the repeated forceful
contractions to increase blood flow during exercise. With aerobic training,
the heart increases its cardiac output (stroke volume x heart rate), which
primarily is due to increased stroke volume (blood ejected with each beat).
The parasympathetic tone (part of the autonomic nervous system) will
attempt to keep the heart rate low. Due to the heart rate wanting to remain
, low, the stroke volume becomes the reason for the cardiac output. When
the stroke volume increases, it will cause an increase in the left ventricle's
size.

A strength and conditioning department has a mandate to educate all athletes on the
importance of good nutrition for affecting health and performance. Which of the
following does this statement describe?
a. program objectives
b. program policies
c. program goals
Give this one a try later!
ANSWER:
a. program objectives
EXPLANATION:
Program objectives are the specific means of achieving the goals of a
program. They should encompass all areas of the program to ensure that
the goals are attained. Objectives should help a strength and conditioning
professional to handle the job. For example:
- Design strength, flexibility, aerobic, plyometric, and other training
programs that reduce the likelihood of injury.
- Develop training programs to account for biomechanical and
physiological differences between individual athletes
- Recognize acute and chronic physiological responses and adaptations to
training and their implications for the design of sport-specific training
programs.
- Educate athletes on the importance of good nutrition as well as sleep and
their role in health and performance.
- Educate athletes about the effects of performance-enhancing substances
and their abuse, relevant school policy and legislation.

Which of the following amino acids are all considered essential?
a. proline, serine and valine
b. lysine, methionine and alanine
c. histidine, isoleucine and leucine
Give this one a try later!
ANSWER:
c. histidine, isoleucine and leucine
EXPLANATION:
Nine of the amino acids are denoted as "essential" because they cannot be
manufactured by the body; therefore, they must be included in the diet.
Essential amino acids include: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine,
methoionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. It should be
noted that while some people can synthesize histidine on their own, it is an
essential amino acid for most people.

"Design and administer strength, flexibility, aerobic, plyometric and other training
program that reduce the occurrence of injuries and improve athletic performance" is a
good example of what aspect of a program?
a. objective
b. mission
, c. goal
Give this one a try later!
ANSWER:
a. objective
EXPLANATION:
Program objectives are the specific means of attaining a program goals.
Merely stating program goals but failing to designate the objectives that
will fulfill those goals may result in athletes failing to achieve them. All areas
of the program should be addressed in program objectives to ensure that
goals are attained.

After a hard training session, an athlete observes a decrease in her vertical jump
height. Which phase of the adaptive process is she experiencing?
a. alarm
b. exhaustion
c. resistance
Give this one a try later!
ANSWER:
a. alarm
EXPLANATION:
General adaptation syndrome (GAS) has a three-stage response to stress:
alarm, resistance, and exhaustion GAS states that any time the body
experiences a new or more intense stress than one previously applied, it is
in the alarm phase, which is an accumulation of fatigue, stiffness, or
reduction of energetic stores that results in a reduction in performance
capability. Depending on the stress, this response may last several hours,
