PTS Canfitpro Exam ,Questions And Correct Answers
Name the four ATP energy systems and how long they provide energy for. - ✔✔ ATP-CP - 1-10 sec's at
very high intensity \nGlycolytic - high intensity 10 secs - 2-3 min\nOxidative - mid to low intensity +2
min\nFatty Acid Oxidation - low intensity +2 min
How many units of ATP does each ATP energy system deliver? - ✔✔ ATP-CP: 1 unit of ATP/ unit of CP
Glycolytic: 2-3 ATP/unit of glucose
Oxidative: 38 ATP/ unit of glucose
Fatty Acid Oxidation: 100 ATP/unit of fatty acid
What is EPOC? - ✔✔ excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
What is the lactate threshold? - ✔✔ The point at which the aerobic system cannot supply enough ATP
for the needs of the body
What type of fuel does the ATP-CP energy system use? - ✔✔ Stored ATP
what type of fuel does the glycolytic system use? - ✔✔ blood glucose, muscle glycogen
what type of fuel does the oxidative system use? - ✔✔ blood glucose, muscle glycogen
what type of fuel does the fatty acid oxidation system use? - ✔✔ fatty acids in the blood stream
What is the work to rest ratio for ATP-CP interval training? - ✔✔ 1:3-1:6
,What is the work to rest ratio for glycolitic system interval training? - ✔✔ 1:2-1:5
What is the work to rest ratio for oxidative system interval training? - ✔✔ 1: .5 - 1:1
Why do you not use work relief to train ATP-CP system? - ✔✔ Adequate rest is needed to replenish
ATP in the cells
Why would you use work relief to train glycolytic system? - ✔✔ Blocks ATP replenishing of ATP
Body relies on lactic acid
Oxidative interval training, why rest relief? - ✔✔ If lactic acid not cleared from the system the glycolic
system is less able to provide energy therefore giving a stronger training stimulus to the oxidative
system
How much rest should be between ATP-CP training interval sets? - ✔✔ 5-10 min
How much rest should be between glycolytic training interval sets? - ✔✔ 10-12 min
How much rest should be between oxidative training interval sets? - ✔✔ 10-15 min
What is the definition of energy? - ✔✔ The body's ability to do work
What is anaerobic metabolism? - ✔✔ without oxygen
What is aerobic metabolism? - ✔✔ with oxygen
What is the function of the right atrium and right ventricle? - ✔✔ Collect blood from the tisues and
move it through the lungs
, What is the function of the left atrium and left ventricle? - ✔✔ receive blood from the lungs and
moves it to the tissues of the body and back to right side of heart
Veins carry blood into or away from the heart? - ✔✔ into
Arteries carry blood into or away from the heart? - ✔✔ away
Oxygenated blood leaves the heart via the? - ✔✔ aorta
How many liters of blood typically circulate in an adult every minute? - ✔✔ 5L
Blood pressure is the result of? - ✔✔ Blood being pumped out of the heart and pressing against the
arterial walls
What is an average resting blood pressure? - ✔✔ 120/80 (mmHg)
What is name of function of the top number with regards to blood pressure? - ✔✔ systolic, the
pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries as the heart contracts
What is name of function of the bottom number with regards to blood pressure? - ✔✔ diastolic, the
pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries as the heart relaxes
During exercise what happens to systolic blood pressure? - ✔✔ Rises quickly to about 200 mmHg then
levels off
During moderate exercise what happens to the diastolic blood pressure? - ✔✔ remains relatively
stable
During what kind exercise might blood pressure spike to higher levels then 200 mmHg? - ✔✔
weightlifting as the muscular contractions compress the arteries and resist blood flow
