anterior/posterior deltoid
✔✔Which metabolic system yields the highest amount of ATP for the working muscle? -
✔✔Oxidative system
✔✔Protein is broken down into ______________ - ✔✔amino acid
✔✔Define the all-or-none principle - ✔✔All of the muscle fibers in a motor unit contract
or none contract

✔✔When initialing exercise the time of inadequate oxygen supply is called __________
- ✔✔oxygen deficit

fitness as - ✔✔threshold of training
✔✔Name 3 types of muscle actions that skeletal muscle can generate -
✔✔isotonic/isometric/isokinetic
,✔✔How is radiation from convection in heat dissipation? - ✔✔Radiation is heat loss
Convection is transfer of heat through movement of liquid or gas between areas of
different temperature
✔✔What are possible problem associated with performing verticle exercise in water
under 80 degree F - ✔✔Physiological responses will be altered; take longer to warm up;
participants might chill; With reduced blood flow to the extremities, there is greater
chance for musculoskeletal injuries.
✔✔Ideal tempt range for aqua fitness - ✔✔83-86
✔✔depth range for shallow aquatic fitness - ✔✔mid rib cage or armpit
3-5 feet
✔✔Primary irritation in chlorinated pool - ✔✔chloramines
✔✔A participant cannot dissipate heat by sweating in the pool while exercising (T or F) -
✔✔False. In the water the body dissipates heats through peripheral vasodilation
(radiation) and sweat.
✔✔The physiological responses to water immersion are effected by: body composition,
intensity of exercise; age; gender; and disease (True or False) - ✔✔True
✔✔Benefits of wearing aqua shoes - ✔✔1. protection on soles of feet
2. traction
3. cushioning shock absorbent
4. additional weight and resistance
5. safety entering and exiting pool
✔✔By adding the element of travel in aquatic choreography, you are increasing
intensity using which law? - ✔✔inertia
✔✔What is the difference between linear and rotational movement? - ✔✔Linear is
movement of the entire body forward/backward or left/right
Rotational is motion at a joint
✔✔Friction between the molecules of a liquid or gas is referred to as - ✔✔viscosity
✔✔Which is more intense wide jog traveling forward or wide jog traveling sideways? -
✔✔Wide jog traveling forward
✔✔increasing speed in the water reduces range of motion (T or F) - ✔✔T
, ✔✔moving arms forward while forward jogging decrease or increase intensity -
✔✔increase
✔✔sink or float if you weigh more than the water you displace? - ✔✔sink
✔✔What is the primary force that causes resistance in the aquatic environment -
✔✔water viscosity and drag
✔✔Incorporating impeding or assisting arms movements applies physical law to alter
exercise intensity in water? - ✔✔action and reaction
✔✔Two important factors to consider when applying the inertia in aquatic exercise
programing - ✔✔1. participant fitness skill and level
2. acoustics of pool environment (if participants cannot understand hear the verbal
cues).
✔✔5 factors to consider when selecting aquatic equip - ✔✔1. usability
2. population appropriate
3. storage and transportation
4. durability and maintenance
5. suitable for pool
6. bring in additional participants
✔✔When movement is facilitate by properties of the equipment it is considered to
___________movement. - ✔✔assisted
✔✔When performing a land standing leg curl knee flexion is _______action of the
hamstring muscle and extension is a ________ action of the hamstring muscle. -
✔✔concentric - shortening or contract
eccentric - elongated or extend
✔✔When performing a front kick in the water, hip flexion is _________ action of the
iliopsoas muscles, and extension is a ________________action of the gluteus maximus
muscles. - ✔✔concentric
concentric
✔✔When incorporating drag equip, a lateral arm raise is _______ up and __________
down - ✔✔resisted - concentric
resisted - concentric
✔✔Describe how the anchor point affects muscles use when working with rubberized
equip. - ✔✔Any movement away from the anchored point is resisted; any movement
toward the anchored point is facilitated, or assisted, by the equipment.
