Exam 11: Assessment and Equipment in Exercise Science

Sending a safe low-voltage level electric current through the body is an example of which body composition measurement technique.

__________ is an assessment technique that allows for the measurement and recording of the electric activity of skeletal muscles at rest and during contraction.

The measurement of brain activity is best accomplished using:

If used properly, a metabolic measurement cart can assess which of the following.

Standardized warm-up and practice procedures are usually not needed in order to obtain valid and reliable results from testing.

__________ is used to measure muscular force production by muscles at a constant contraction velocity.

Qualitative assessments provide a deep understanding of the individual and personal factors that give meaning to why an individual believes and acts in a specific manner when participating in an exercise or sport setting.

? Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry can be used to measure body composition and assess bone mineral density.

A 10-lead ECG uses electrodes that are attached to an individual's chest providing 12 different views of the electrical activity of the heart.

? Electromyography (EMG) is an assessment technique that allows for the measurement and recording of the electric activity of skeletal muscles at rest and during contraction.

If an individual performs walking as the primary activity for enhancing fitness, that individual's cardiovascular fitness would be best measured:

? Most drugs and medications used by the individual undergoing testing will usually not affect the testing results.

A metabolic measurement cart measures the volume of expired air from an individual's mouth, analyzes the air for oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations and produces assessments of the amount of oxygen consumed, and the type of fuel source used to produce energy during rest and exercise.

A laboratory test is a measurement procedure that is conducted while the individual is performing in an actual competitive sport or athletic situation.

? Performance varies more in the field setting than in the laboratory environment.

The measurement of obstructive lung disease can be most easily obtained using:

The assessment of energy expenditure during resting and nonresting conditions can be performed using a metabolic cart as measurement and a measure called the respiratory exchange ratio (RER).

Which of the following is used to measure the oxygen concentration in the blood?

An electronically braked cycle ergometer allows the resistance to be automatically adjusted so that the workload remains constant at different cycling speeds.

The assessment and evaluation of physical, physiologic, and psychological attributes can provide insight into an individual's health status, the risk for certain diseases and illnesses, and the responses to training and rehabilitation programs.
