PAUL Exam 1Questions with Answerslactate - Correct Answer Byproduct of glucose utilization by muscle cells during
anaerobic glycolysis
Lactate Acid - Correct Answer a chemical byproduct of anaerobic respiration
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) - Correct Answer a compound consisting of an
adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups, present in all living tissue. The
breakage of one phosphate linkage (to form adenosine diphosphate, ADP) provides
energy for physiological processes such as muscular contraction.
Which system produces the most ATP? - Correct Answer Oxidative System
Factors related to performance - Correct Answer 1. VO2max
2. Lactate threshold
3. Exercise economy
4. Muscle fiber type
VO2max - Correct Answer · the max amount of oxygen the body can take in AND
utilized during one minute of high intensity exercise
· is expressed mathematically as the amount of O2 consumed by the body in a minute
divided by body weight in kg
Lactate threshold - Correct Answer · The intensity of exercise at which lactate begins
to accumulate in the blood at a faster rate than it can be removed.
Exercise economy - Correct Answer · Relates to the quantity of oxygen (ml/kg/min)
required to move at a given speed or generated a specific amount of power and
influenced by a number of factors including: neuro-muscular co-ordination, percentage
of type I muscle fibers, elastic energy storage, and joint stability and flexibility.
Muscle fiber type - Correct Answer o Slow-twitch (Type-I): better suited for long
duration, low-intensity activities such long distance running.
o Fast-twitch (Type-II): suited for short duration, high-intensity activities such as
resistance training and sprinting
Compare VO2max to lactate threshold as a predictor of performance - Correct Answer
· Athletes with the same VO2max but higher lactate thresholds will perform better in a
race
Which type of muscle fibers tend to perform better at longer endurance events? At
sprints? - Correct Answer · Endurance events = type I
, · Sprints = type II
Which type of training combines elements of other types listed in this chart? - Correct
Answer Fartsomethig
Define the 3 measures of intensity for endurance training. - Correct Answer 1.
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR):
2. Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE):
3. Talk Test
Max Heart Rate (MHR) - Correct Answer the max number of beats made by the heart
in 1-minute during physical exercise
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) - Correct Answer a quantitative measure of how an
individual perceives exertion during physical activity
Talk Test - Correct Answer · a simple way to measure the exercise intensity. In
general, moderate-intensity activity you can talk, but not sing. During vigorous-intensity
activity, you will not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath.
o Easy: %25 - carry on a conversation
o Moderate: %50 - complete sentences
o Hard: %75 - short phrases
o Breathless %100 - no more words
Explain the 3 guidelines for selecting shoes - Correct Answer 1. Determine where you
plan on running
2. Determine the desired level of cushioning
3. Determine the desired level of support
Determine where you plan on running - Correct Answer a. Road-running shoes -
Designed for runs on pavement, sidewalks, treadmills, and tracks
b. Trail-running shoes- Designed for off-road that may include the presence of rocks,
mud, roots, and/or obstacles
c. Cross-training shoes - Designed for strength training, cross-training, and/or other
activities where thinner shole shoes are preferred
Determine the desired level of cushioning - Correct Answer a. Maximum cushion
i. offer the thickest and softest foam and may be best suited for runners participating in
long distance or multi-dry runs
b. Moderate cushion
i. Offer a degree of cushioning between that of max and min cushion shoes
c. Minimal cushion
i. Offer a min amt of cushioning and may be best suited for who prefer the ability to feel
the ground under them
d. Barefoot
