FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE
Effects of Aerobic Training on Pulmonary Adaptations
1. more efficient use of oxygen by the respiratory musculature 2. decreased ventilatory
needs
Effects of Aerobic Training on Cardiovascular Adaptations
1. lower resting and working HR 2. increased stroke volume and cardiac output 3.
increased shunting of blood to working muscles 4. increased number of capillaries to
working muscles
Effects of Aerobic Training on Metabolic Adaptations
1. increased size and number of mitochondria 2. increased amount of mitochondrial
enzymes 3. increased lipolysis during submaximal exercise and resting 4. prolonged
OBLA in blood due to more efficient use of lactate
Reasons to do an Aerobic Exercise Test
Gives information about functional status, helps generate appropriate exercise
prescription, demonstrates progress, helps with prognosis
Units of Absolute VO2 Max
L/min or mL/min
Units of Relative (to Body Weight) VO2 Max
, ml/kg/min
Range of Normal VO2 Max
15-75 ml/kg/min (sedentary with disease to young endurance runner)
Respiratory Exchange Ratio
=VCO2/VO2, varies with fuel substrate (fats, carbs, protein)
Respiratory Quotient for Carbohydrates
=1
Respiratory Quotient for Fats
=range from 0.69-0.73
Respiratory Quotient for Proteins
=0.818
Fuel Substrate Consumption for Moderate Exercise
Half carbohydrates and half fats
Conditions where Respiratory Exchange Ration is >1
1. during anaerobic exercise? 2. hyperventilating
1 L of O2 Consumed Expends this much Energy
5 kcal
VO2 Peak
Highest VO2 measured in a maximal test where physiologic criteria are not met but test
must be stopped due to client factors (e.g. leg fatigue limits work)
Field Submaximal VO2 Tests
1. step test, can be modified to seated step test 2. fixed distance test (i.e. time it takes
to walk 1 mile) 3. fixed time test (i.e. how far can you walk in 6 minutes)
