COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
ANSWERS
◉ Aggressive or excessive training leads to what muscular
phenomena?
Answer: Muscle damage/breakdown. What results is that neither
the muscle nor the nervous system adapts, and the muscle is then
prone to repeated injury because the scar tissue decreases the blood
flow to the area.
◉ What are the three types of muscle pain associated with a
workout?
Answer: 1. soreness during and immediately after a workout/cardio
due to lactic acid buildup during anaerobic effort. Lactic acid buildup
normally dissolves within 30-60 minutes
2. DOMS (post-exercise soreness) - develops within 24-48 hours
after ending a normal training session.
3. Muscle and joint soreness - develops within a few hours after a
workout
◉ How much of body heat is produced by muscular contraction?
Answer: approximately 85%
, ◉ What are the two types of skeletal muscle fibers?
Answer: Type 1- slow twitch (depend more on fats for energy
[aerobic friendly])
Type 2 - fast twitch (depend more on glucose [anaerobic friendly])
(ignore type 2a on chart)
◉ True or False: All body movements result from the contractions of
muscles
Answer: False. Almost all body movements do occur via muscle
contraction. In fact, there are only 3 exceptions: cilia action,
flagellum on sperm, and ameoboid action of several kinds of white
blood cells.
◉ The cardiorespiratory system consists of what 2 systems?
Answer: the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system
◉ The Cardiovascular system consists of what three components?
Answer: heart, blood vessels, and the blood itself
◉ What 7 functions does the cardiovascular system play in the
human body?
Answer: 1. transportation of blood
