PROMOTING HEALTHY POPULATIONS
EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Defining Physical Activity in Health - ANS Bodily movement that is produced by the
contraction of skeletal muscles and that substantially increases energy expenditure
- Sports
- Recreational activities
- Exercise training
define exercise - ANS planned structured and repetitive body movement to improve physical
fitness
define aerobic exercise - ANS activity using large muscle groups to improve oxidative energy-
producing system and improve cardiorespiratory status
what's the fuel for aerobic exercise? - ANS adipose tissue
what's anaerobic exercise? - ANS high-intensity, short-duration activity --> improve muscles
strength, power, and reactivity
what's the fuel for anaerobic exercise? - ANS glucose-glycogen & phosphagens

, examples of aerobic exercise? - ANS walking, swimming, cycling, kickboxing, running,
rumping rope, dance
examples of anaerobic exercise? - ANS HITT, lifting, circuit training, strength training
define physical fitness. - ANS ability to perform physical activity without under fatigue injury
define flexibility. - ANS adequate muscle length and joint mobility to allow free and painless
movement (wide range of motion)
define muscular fitness. - ANS strength and endurance of muscles permitting ADL's without
injury
Health People 2020 Objectives

10% of people exercise enough for cardiovascular fitness
30.3% age over 18 report no leisure-time physical activity
Health People 2020 Objectives
Goal - ANS Goal: improve health, fitness, and quality of life through physical activity
Fifteen physical activity/fitness objectives
