NAFC: FITNESS ASSESMENT EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
100% CORRECT ANSWERS!!
Activities of daily living
Behaviors that drive people to perform normal functions in life
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
High energy compound the body uses for immediate energy
Aerobic
Exercise that requires oxygen to produce the necessary energy (ATP) to carry out a
given activity
Alveoli
Air sacs in the lungs where oxygen is taken up and carbon dioxide is released from the
blood
Anaerobic
Exercise that does not require oxygen to produce the necessary energy (ATP) to carry
out activity
Anaerobic threshold
Highest percentage of maximal oxygen uptake that an individual can exercise for an
extended time without accumulating high levels of lactic acid
Android obesity
Obesity pattern seen in people who store fat in the trunk or abdominal area
Anthropometric measurement
Techniques used to measure body girths at different sites
Arterial-venous oxygen difference
Amount of oxygen removed from the blood as determined by the difference in oxygen
content between arterial and venous blood
Body composition
Fat and non-fat components of the human body
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Technique to determine thinness and excessive fatness that incorporates height and
weight to estimate critical fat values to determine risk for disease
Cardiac output
Amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute
Cardio-respiratory endurance
Ability of the lungs, heart, and circulatory system to deliver adequate amounts of oxygen
to the cells to meet the demands of prolonged physical activity
Circuit training
Alternating exercises by performing them in sequence of three to six or more, rest
between sets is minimal and cardio-respiratory exercise is used at times
Contraindicated exercises
Exercises that are not recommended because they may cause injury. The risk
outweighs the benefit from performing such exercises
Dynamic training
Strength training method referring to an isotonic muscle contraction
