HES 202 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS LATEST
UPDATE
Define physiology and exercise physiology.
Physiology: Study of the function of cells, tissues, organs, and systems
Exercise: Study of how acute and chronic exercise influences the function of cells,
tissues, organs, and systems
List at least five career opportunities for students with a bachelor's degree in
exercise physiology, kinesiology, or health & exercise science and graduate
school programs a degree in one of these fields would prepare a student for.
bachelor's degree:
- Personal training (coach or business owner)
- Fitness facilities (owners and managers)
- Nutrition or wellness coaching
further education:
-physical therapy or PTA
-Occupational therapy
List and describe the steps in the scientific process.
Describe and perform the process of using a research search engine to search
the literature for research studies on a specific topic related to exercise
physiology and explain and use Boolean search terms.
or-more
and-less
Describe, put in order of strength of evidence, and provide examples of each of
the types or levels of evidence: reviews, experimental studies, observational
studies, case studies/case reports, expert opinions. Read research articles and
identify which type of study they are.
review, scientific review, case study, expert opinion
Describe the concept of exercise efficiency (or economy).
Describe indirect and direct calorimetry.
direct calorimetry measures heat and indirect calorimetry measures volume of oxygen
consumed .
Define the terms homeostasis and steady state.
Homeostasis - maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment (resting
conditions).
Steady State- a steady and unchanging level of some physiological variable (Heart
Rate).
Explain the homeostatic control systems for thermoregulation, blood glucose
regulation, and hematocrit regulation.
Explain the terms adaptation, acclimation, and changing of a set point and how
these relate to exercise.
adaptation-• Change in structure and function of cells or tissue• Result: better ability to
maintain homeostasis• Note: many adaptations occur within cells
