Exam 15: Aerobic Exercise Prescription

Which of the following is a benefit of interval training?

Which of the following is a major advantage of interval training in endurance athletes?

The transition in exercise intensity from moderate intensity (Zone 1) to heavy intensity (Zone 2) is identified by the:

Which of the following is not a variable that can be manipulated during interval training?

The O₂ cost relative to the amount work performed during an exercise task is referred to as:

In which exercise intensity zone does blood lactate NOT reach a steady state?

_____________ training allows for a significant quantity of normally exhaustive exercise to be performed.

Exercise in the __________ intensity domain results in exercise termination in about 2 to 14 minutes depending on the specific power output.

Strength and power training can improve mechanical efficiency, so aerobic exercise performance can be improved indirectly by the effect of strength/power training on mechanical efficiency.

Maximal oxygen consumption is limited by:

____________ is likely important in endurance events where a "kick" or sprint typically occurs at the end of the event.

____________ is the progressive increase in HR at a constant work rate that occurs at higher work rates and in challenging environmental conditions such as training at altitude and in hot environments.

________________ training refers to loosely structured training generally performed on cross-country trails.

List and describe the variables that can be manipulated during interval training.

What is the primary factor affecting aerobic exercise performance?

Continuous training is designed to increase an athlete's:

The general preparation phase should focus on:

Fractional utilization is a way to quantify the intensity of aerobic exercise, primarily from a metabolic perspective.

Which of the following best describes fartlek training?

Interval training is also known as long, slow distance training and overdistance training.
