Exam 13: Exercise Science in the Twenty-First Century

The primary objectives of the __________ was to examine the role of the human genotype in the cardiovascular and metabolic responses to aerobic exercise training and the changes brought about by regular exercise for several CVD and diabetes risk factors.

The clarification of optimal learning and practice strategies for individual and team sports will be an important objective for:

__________ is a research investigation conducted to identify factors that affect the health and disease of populations.

Metabolomics is the study of compounds that are produced and released through physiologic processes at both the cellular and systemic levels.

Improvements in sport and athletic competition require a coordinated and integrated effort of the various components that make up exercise science including physical, psychological, and nutritional aspects.

A clinical trial is the study of the causes, distribution, and control of disease in specifically defined populations.

__________ allows local, state, and federal agencies to detect the extent to which various health problems and risk factors have changed in the United States population over time.

The __________ is an example of a national and local-based intervention program developed to improve the health and well-being of our nation's population.

Physical inactivity is considered a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

The poor health of our population is creating considerable economic burden on our nation's health care system.

The overarching vision of __________ is to make physical activity and exercise a standard part of a disease prevention and medical treatment paradigm in the United States.

Framingham Heart Study has produced many major discoveries and understanding of the development and progression of CVD and its risk factors.

__________ is a process whereby the quality of proof relative to the risks and benefits of treatment is determined.

Epidemiology is the process of enabling people to increase their control over and improvements in their health.

Examining and analyzing performance during the sporting event or athletic competition provides the complete picture of how to enhance performance success in an athlete.

__________ is the comparison test of a medical intervention versus a control condition, placebo condition, or the standard medical treatment for a patient's condition.

The primary objective of the Framingham Heart Study was to identify the common factors or characteristics that contribute to CVD by following its development over a long period of time in a large group of participants.

Information derived from epidemiologic research studies is often used to guide future health promotion and disease prevention strategies by public and private organizations.

Which of the following risk factors for cardiovascular disease can be positively modified through participation in a regular program of physical activity?

The Framingham Heart Study demonstrated that genetic factors explain almost one-half of the individual variations in cardiorespiratory fitness.
