Exam 4: Exercise Physiology

The Harvard Fatigue Laboratory was instrumental in promoting the development of exercise physiology.

Acute system responses to exercise are typically done to bring the body back to homeostasis.

Consuming a beverage or meal high in carbohydrates immediately prior to exercise will:

An increased formation of lactic acid by skeletal muscle during exercise does not contribute to muscle fatigue.

Athletes attempting to increase lean body mass should consume a level of daily protein intake:

When the systems of the body respond to a single bout of physical activity or exercise, this is referred to as:

Muscle fiber hypertrophy describes the change in muscle fibers that is a result of:

Which of the following terms describes the condition of the various systems of the body when the body is in a resting state?

A reduced level of muscle glycogen may result in a reduced exercise intensity during prolonged exercise.

During exercise, it is important to match fluid and electrolyte intake to water loss in order to prevent dehydration.

Osteoporosis is a disease condition affecting the skeletal system and is characterized by:

The phrase "chronic adaptations to physical activity and exercise" refers to the changes that occur in the systems of the body in response to one bout of physical activity or exercise.

A ______ reduction of body weight is the lowest level of body weight loss that can significantly improve health by decreasing blood lipids, blood pressure, and factors related to the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

Which of the following sources provides the most energy during the performance of low intensity exercise?

Glucose enters the muscle cell by interacting with the glucose transport protein 4.

_________________ is the process where larger molecules or compounds are built from smaller molecules or compounds.

When an individual performs physical activity or exercise in hot and/or humid environmental conditions, the primary response of the body is to increase blood flow to the skin to assist with temperature regulation.

Exercise physiology is the study of how the systems of the body individually and collectively respond to acute and chronic bouts of physical activity and exercise.

Eating a meal high in carbohydrate content prior to exercise will decrease the use of blood glucose as an energy source during submaximal intensity exercise.

The chronic adaptations to exercise improve various functions of the body while at rest and during both submaximal and maximal exercise.
