HLT 110 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
ALL CORRECT ANSWERS
What are the principles of exercise training? - Answer- · Principle overload: to improve
one must be challenged or stressor repeatedly
· Principle of reversibility: When one stops exercising, they will return to retraining levels
· Principle of specificity: training effects are specific to each exercise
· Principal of individual differences: large variability from one person to the next in both
natural fitness level and rate of improvement.
What are the components of health-related fitness and how are they distinct? - Answer-
· Cardiorespiratory- lowers risk of premature death from heart disease and stroke
· Musculoskeletal-increases bone density, muscle mass, and joint health which lowers
risk of osteoporosis, and degenerative joint disease
o Strength
o Muscular endurance
o flexibility
· Body composition - obesity and diabetes
