AFAA Primary Group Exercise
Certification v4 UPDATED Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
List eight (8) health benefits associated with regular participation in physical activity -
CORRECT ANSWER- Lower risk of early death; lower risk of coronary heart disease; lower
risk of stroke; lower risk of high blood pressure; lower risk of type 2 diabetes; lower risk of
colon, breast, lung and endometrial cancer; prevention of weight gain; improved
cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness; reduced depression; increased bone density; improved
sleep quality
How can interval training improve aerobic performance? - CORRECT ANSWER- It can
increase aerobic endurance and anaerobic power; also maximizes aerobic power especially
for athletes preparing for competition.
List three (3) physiological adaptations that occur to improve exercise performance and state
how or why improvement occurs. - CORRECT ANSWER- 1) Increased Maximal Blood
Flow - enlarges the left ventricle to be able to pump large volumes of blood creating maximal
cardiac output.
2) Increased Oxygen Delivery and Carbon Dioxide Removal
It saturates the blood coming through the lungs with oxygen very efficiently as well as
removing CO2 at a higher rate and better maintaining an appropriate acid/base balance.
3) Increased Maximal Oxygen Uptake and Aerobic Power
The higher % of capillaries in muscle fibers provides a richer supply of oxygen and nutrients,
removal of carbon dioxide and other wastes more rapidly, allowing for a higher maximal rate
of aerobic energy production.
Define energy and its food source - CORRECT ANSWER- Energy is simply the ability to do
work. The source of energy comes from the sun. The sun's energy is absorbed by green plants
through a process called photosynthesis. We derive this energy by ingesting these plants and
our body uses it as a fuel source.
Define ATP - CORRECT ANSWER- Adenosine Triphosphate
It possesses a significant amount of stored energy that is necessary to be released for
muscular contraction
,Anaerobic Pathway
ATP - CP system/phosphagen system
1. Fuel Source =
2. Intensity =
3. Duration =
4. List three (3) examples of activities that utilize this system. - CORRECT ANSWER- 1)
Fuel Source = Chemical sources Creatine, Phosphates
2) Intensity = Very high intensity
3) Duration = 15 - 20 seconds
4) Examples = 100-200 meter running sprints, 50 meter swimming sprints, high jump and
long jump, shot put and discus and power lifting.
Lactic Acid System
1.Fuel Source
2. Intensity =
3. Duration =
4. List three (3) examples of activities that utilize this system. - CORRECT ANSWER- 1)
Fuel Source = Glucose, the usable form of carbohydrate in the body
2) Intensity = high intensity
3) Duration = 45 - 90 seconds;
4) Examples = 400 - 800 meters running; 100 - 200 meters swimming; 1000 - 2,000 meters
cycling; rallies in soccer, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, tennis,
badminton, gymnastics floor routine
Aerobic Pathway
Aerobic System
1. Fuel source =
2. Intensity =
3. Duration =
4. List three (3) examples of activities that utilize this system. - CORRECT ANSWER- 1)
Fuel Sources = Carbohydrates, fats and proteins
2) Intensity = Low to moderate intensity
Define: Aerobic - CORRECT ANSWER- Means literally, with oxygen or in the presence of
oxygen.
Define: Anaerobic - CORRECT ANSWER- Requiring no oxygen; usually short-spurt, high -
energy activities.
Define: Steady State - CORRECT ANSWER- After the first 3 - 4 minutes of exercise, oxygen
uptake has reached an adequate level to meet the oxygen demand of the tissues; heart rate,
cardiac output and pulmonary ventilation have attained fairly constant levels.
Define: Excess Post-Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) - CORRECT ANSWER- Excess post-
exercise oxygen consumption, traditionally known as oxygen debt, refers to oxygen uptake
remaining elevated above resting levels for several minutes during exercise recovery.
Define: Oxygen deficit - CORRECT ANSWER- A period in which the level of oxygen
consumption is below what is necessary to supply appropriate ATP production (energy
releasing compounds) required of any exercise.
Define: Anaerobic Threshold - CORRECT ANSWER- The point at which the body can no
longer meet its demand for oxygen and anaerobic metabolism is accelerated.
Define: Aerobic Capacity - CORRECT ANSWER- The ability of the body to remove oxygen
from the air and transfer it through the lungs and blood to the working muscles; related to
cardiorespiratory endurance.
Define: Lactic Acid - CORRECT ANSWER- The by-product of anaerobic metabolism of
glucose or glycogen in muscle.
AEROBIC
1. Complete breakdown of glucose
2. Can utilize carbohydrates, fats, or protein as fuel
3. Long-duration activity
, 4. Smaller EPOC
5. Submaximal work (moderate intensity)
6. CO2 and H2O are end products
7. Uses Oxygen in chemical breakdown - CORRECT ANSWER- ANAEROBIC
1. Partial breakdown of glucose
2. Can only use carbohydrates as fuel
3. Short-duration activity
4. Greater EPOC
5. Maximal output (high intensity)
6. Lactic acid is the by-product
7. Doesn't need O2 in chemical breakdown
Cardiorespiratory System - CORRECT ANSWER- ...
Define: Stroke Volume - CORRECT ANSWER- The volume of blood ejected by each
ventricle of the heart during a single systole.
Define: Cardiac Output - CORRECT ANSWER- The volume of blood pumped by each
ventricle in one minute.
Define: Venous Return - CORRECT ANSWER- The 'pumping action' of the muscles in the
extremities and respiratory system along with venoconstriction to move oxygen-poor blood
back to the heart.
Define: Blood Pooling - CORRECT ANSWER- A condition caused by ceasing vigorous
exercise too abruptly so that blood remains in the extremities and may not be delivered
quickly enough to the heart and brain.
Define: Vital Capacity - CORRECT ANSWER- The greatest volume of air that can be
forcibly exhaled after the deepest inspiration.
Define: Valsalva Maneuver - CORRECT ANSWER- A dangerous condition that can occur if
an individual holds his or her breath, causing the glottis to close and the stomach muscles to
contract, forming an unequal pressure in the chest cavity, reduced blood flow to the heart, and
