Define exercise physiology .......Answer.........Exercise physiology
is the science that describes, explains, and uses the body's
response and adaptation to exercise training to maximum
human physical potential.
It includes the interaction of the heart, lungs, and muscles, and
how they respond to exercise.
Define optimal fitness .......Answer.........Optimal fitness refers to
the best functioning level of fitness a Marine can attain. At the
optimal level, the body of the Marine functions as efficiently as
it can.
,age 2 of 64
Which factor measures a Marine's optimal fitness?
.......Answer.........Optimal fitness can be measured by
accomplishing missions without undue fatigue.
The ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly without fatiguing.
.......Answer.........Muscular Endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to work efficiently over an
extended period of time and provide oxygen to the working
muscles. .......Answer.........Cardiopulmonary Endurance
Refers to the muscular and fat make-up of the body.
.......Answer.........Body Composition
The ability to move your joints comfortably through a full range
of motion. .......Answer.........Flexibility
,age 3 of 64
The amount of force a muscle can produce.
.......Answer.........Muscular Strength
Blood is pumped to the lungs by the (blank) side of the heart
and pumped to the body by the (blank) side of the heart.
.......Answer.........Right; Left
Identify six adaptations of the heart and blood vessels in
response to exercise. .......Answer.........(1) The size of the heart
increases making it able to pump more blood with more force.
(2) The amount of blood the heart pumps with each contraction
increases. This is due to a combination of an increase in the heart
size and a decrease in pulse that allows more blood to enter the
heart between beats.
, age 4 of 64
(3) There is a decrease in the resting and training heart rate.
(4) The heart rate recovers to resting levels more rapidly after
training has stopped.
(5) More capillaries form to supply the working muscles with
oxygen rich blood.
(6) Blood pressure decreases.
Cpl Jones participates in endurance training 3 times per week
while Cpl Jefferson participates once a week. What effect may
this have on both Marines' lungs. .......Answer.........Cpl Jones'
body is effectively using a large amount of oxygen better than
Cpl Jefferson.
The molecule that provides the energy for muscle contraction is?
.......Answer.........adenosine tri-phosphate
