| | | | | | | | |
strength
what type of stretching activates the muscle spindles, specialized
| | | | | | | | |
receptors in the muscle that monitor muscle length change and the
| | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
reserve - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-maximal heart rate is the highest heart
| | | | | | | | | |
rate a person can achieve. it is measured with a max HR test or
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
estimated with 220- age. Heart rate reserve is your maximal HR minus
| | | | | | | | | | | |
your resting heart rate.
| | |
,how does compression lower your heart rate in the water? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-water compresses all the body systems, including the | | | | | | | |
vascular system, causing a smaller venous load to the heart, reducing
| | | | | | | | | | |
heart rate. |
what is the ACSM (2018) recommended frequency for resistance
| | | | | | | | |
training? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-two to three days/week for each
| | | | | | | | |
major muscle group | |
define body composition - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the body's relative
| | | | | | | |
percentage of fat as compared to lean tissue (bones, muscles, and
| | | | | | | | | | |
organs)
list five benefits of regular exercise - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-improves
| | | | | | | | |
physical appearance, increases functional capacity, heart becomes
| | | | | | |
stronger, strengthens the walls of the blood vessels, improves strength
| | | | | | | | | |
and endurance,
|
when calculating exercise intensity, a popular method is the Karvonen
| | | | | | | | | |
Formula, which is also known as the ____ - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | |
Heart Rate Reserve method
| | |
____ is a subjective method of assessing effort, strain, discomfort, and
| | | | | | | | | | |
fatigue experienced during exercise. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-rating of
| | | | | | | |
perceived exertion |
, The skeletal system provides our bodies with support, protection, and
| | | | | | | | | |
_____. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Structure
| | |
During the cardiac cycle, ____ is the active contraction of the heart
| | | | | | | | | | | |
muscle and ___ is the relaxation of the heart muscle. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Systole, Diastole |
Which characteristic of muscle allows it to shorten and thicken -
| | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Contractility |
The ____ muscle group flexes the leg at the knee. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Hamstrings
What is a motor neuron - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Efferent neurons that
| | | | | | | | | |
relay outgoing information from the central nervous system to the
| | | | | | | | | |
muscle cells |
Describe the valsalva maneuver - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Holding one's
| | | | | | | |
breath while exerting. Creates unequal pressure in the chest, causing
| | | | | | | | | |
blood pressure to drop and decreasing blood flow to the heart.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Resuming normal breathing creates a surge of blood flow to the heart,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
causing a sharp increase in blood pressure.
