While above practices can help managing soreness and make Francis feel better
temporarily, it remains unclear whether they actually help speed up recovery rate.
According to the recent National Health Survey, the proportion of Australians
meeting the physical activity guidelines is:
15%
Which of the statements below is FALSE?
Generally, free weights are dangerous and are more likely to cause injuries to
exercisers than machine weight.
Which statement about fat is FALSE?
A unit of fat contains 4 times as much energy as carbohydrate and proteins, which is
why it is the preferred fuel for the body.
Following three months of endurance running training, which of the following
scenarios could be expected?
While at rest, the increased stroke volume of the heart means that it does not have to
contract as frequently to maintain cardiac output.
Which of the following statements is false?
Range of movement is directly related to injury risks and performance. The greater
range of motion one has, the better!
Which of the following statement is the most appropriate advice for beginners in
regards to exercise selection
Exercisers should use a combination of compound and isolated exercises to ensure that
the exercise program is well-rounded and suits individual needs.
Which of the following food does not provides a complete list of essential amino
acids?
Almonds
The most commonly cited barrier for physical activity is
Lack of time
You are conducting a health and fitness assessment for all students in
SSEH1103. which of the following body composition test would be most
appropriate if the purpose is to screen for cardiovascular health risks?
BMI
At the end of the football season, James was told by his coach that he should
spend the off-season working on getting stronger so he can stand his ground on
the field. However, the resistance training program for the first 6 weeks requires
the exercises to be completed for 4 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions, which James
knows isn't optimal for developing maximum strength - James learned form his
Sport Science lectures that the intensity needs to be high! Should James ignore
the program that the coach set for him and perform 4 sets of 5 repetitions
instead?
, No, because this initial 6 week program will allow him to accumulate some muscle
mass, which in turn increases his capacity to generate force during his heavy strength
work later on.
Even though it had only been 3 weeks since Rachel started her resistance
training program, she noticed a significant improvement in how much weight she
could lift. Which of the adaptations below would be the most likely explanation
for this improvement?
As she became familiar with the exercises, the prime-movers, the synergists, the
antagonists and the stabilisers are better coordinated so her movement became more
efficient and effective.
The action of the infraspinatus and subscapularis can be described as:
Synergists
A person who is physically well tend to:
Possess good physical fitness and useful motor skills
James has been learning the proper squat technique and found that his heels
keep coming off the ground as he squats which compromises his stability. As
James' instructor, what should you do?
Check his technique. It is likely that he is trying to keep his trunk upright and does not
push his hips back far enough.
Frank cannot run because he has a knee problem, which of the following would
be a good advice for Frank?
If Frank can walk, fast walking can ensure high energy expenditure without placing
significant impact on his knees
The "female athlete triad" has long been recognised as a syndrome that has the
potential to affect female athletes and consists of three inter-related disorders.
They are:
Menstrual dysfunction, low energy availability (with or without an eating disorder), and
decreased bone mineral density
It has been estimated that an endurance athlete requires 1.2 - 1.6 grams of protein
per kg body weight / day. How much protein is required daily by a strength
training athlete?
Generally about the the same amount. This ensures optimal condition for muscular
hypertrophy.
In a static stretch in which the muscles and tendons are slowly stretched to
maximum tolerable length and then held for a period of time, it would be expected
that:
Over time, the force required to maintain the stretch would decrease
What does VO2 Max refer to?
The maximum rate of oxygen utilisation by the body for ATP production
Which of the statements below is FALSE?
Intensity is directly related to duration and as training intensity increases, so should
training duration.
Wolff's law relates to:
the relationship between the thickness and shape of a bone being dependent on
stresses placed upon it.
