ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer Exam with correct Answers |

Already Graded A+



training effect - ✓✓An increase in functional capacity of muscles and other bodily

tissues as a result of increased stress (overload) placed upon them.

Homeostasis - ✓✓The automatic tendency to maintain a relatively constant

internal environment.

Metabolism - ✓✓The total of all the chemical and physical processes by which the

body builds and maintains itself (anabolism) and by which it breaks down its

substances for the production of energy (catabolism).

Glucose - ✓✓Principal circulating sugar in the blood and the major energy source

of the body.

ketone bodies - ✓✓Bodies produced as intermediate products of fat metabolism.

lactic acid - ✓✓A by-product of glucose and glycogen metabolism in anaerobic

muscle energetics.

Amino acid - ✓✓The building blocks of protein. There are 24 amino acids, which

form countless number of different proteins.

fatty acids - ✓✓Any of a large group of monobasic acids, especially those found

in animal and vegetable fats and oils.

,Anabolism - ✓✓The building up in the body of complex chemical compounds

from simpler compounds (e.g., proteins from amino acids).

Catabolism - ✓✓The breaking down in the body of complex chemical compounds

into simpler ones (e.g., proteins to amino acids).

Metabolic set point - ✓✓The base rate of metabolism that the body seeks to

maintain; resulting in basal metabolic rate.

basal metabolic rate (BMR) - ✓✓The minimum energy required to maintain the

body's life function at rest; usually expressed in calories per hour per square meter

of the body surface.

thermic effect - ✓✓The heat liberated from a particular food; it is a measure of its

energy content and its tendency to be burned as heat. This process of heat

liberation is also commonly referred to as "thermogenesis"

Calorie - ✓✓A unit of heat; specifically, it is the amount of energy required to

raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius at 1 atmosphere.

kilocalorie (kcal) - ✓✓A unit of measurement that equals 1,000 calories, or 1

Calorie. Used in metabolic studies, it is the amount of heat required to raise the

temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree Celsius at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.

The term is used in nutrition to express the fuel (energy) value of food.

,Respiratory Quotient (RQ) - ✓✓A method of determining the "fuel mix" being

used, giving us a way to measure the relative amounts of fats, carbohydrates, and

proteins being burned for energy.

Oxidation - ✓✓The chemical act of combining with oxygen or of removing

hydrogen.

Maximal oxygen uptake (vO2 max) - ✓✓The highest rate of oxygen consumption

which a person is capable.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) - ✓✓The amino acids L-leucine, L-

isoleucine and L-valine, which have a particular molecular structure that gives

them their name and comprises 35 percent of muscle tissue. The BCAAs,

particularly L-leucine, help increase work capacity by stimulating production of

insulin, the hormone that opens muscle cells to glucose. BCAAs are burned as fuel

during highly intense training and at the end of long-distance events when the body

recruits protein for as much as 20 percent of its energy needs.

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - ✓✓An organic compound found in muscle

which, upon being broken down enzymatically, yields energy for muscle

contraction.

Creatine phosphate (CP) - ✓✓A high-energy phosphate molecule that is stored in

cells and can be used to immediately resynthesize ATP.

, Strength/power - ✓✓Energy coming from immediate ATP stores. Examples

include shot put, powerlift, high jump, golf swing, tennis serve, and a throw.

Activities last about 0 to 3 seconds of maximal effort.

Sustained power - ✓✓Energy coming from immediate ATP and CP stores.

Examples include sprints, fast breaks, football lineman. Activities last about 0 to

10 seconds of near-maximal effort.

Anaerobic power/endurance - ✓✓Energy coming from ATP, CP, and lactic acid.

Examples include 200- to 400-meter dash and 100-yard swim. Activities lasting

about 1 to 2 minutes.

aerobic endurance - ✓✓Energy coming from the oxidative pathway. Activities last

over 2 minutes.

ATP/CP pathway - ✓✓ATP and CP provide anaerobic sources of phosphate-bond

energy. The energy liberated from hydrolysis (splitting) of CP re-bonds ADP and

Pi to form ATP.

Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) - ✓✓An organic compound in metabolism that

functions in the transfer of energy during the catabolism of glucose, formed by the

removal of a phosphate molecule from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and

composed of adenine, ribose, and two phosphate groups.
