BBH 101 Exam 4 Penn State Study
Questions and Correct Answers
Physical movement ✅bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles
Physical exercise ✅planned, repetitive, and purposeful physical activity (improves or
maintains one or more aspects of physical fitness)
Aerobic/anaerobic exercise ✅two broad categories of physical exercise
Aerobic exercise ✅light-to-moderate intensity exercise performed for extended periods
of time
Swimming, cycling, running ✅examples of aerobic exercise
Anaerobic exercise ✅high-intensity exercise performed for short periods of time
Weight training, sprinting ✅examples of anaerobic exercise
Resistance training (strength training) ✅to build muscle, muscles must work against
some form of resistance
Physical fitness ✅includes set of attributes or characteristics that people have or
achieve that relates to ability to perform physical activity
Cardiorespiratory fitness ✅the ability of your heart rate and lungs to effectively deliver
oxygen to your muscles during prolonged physical activity (the foundation of all other
areas of fitness)
Muscular strength ✅the maximum force your muscles can apply in a single maximum
effort of lifting, pushing, or pressing
Results of muscular strength training ✅-skeleton properly aligned
-aids balance
-protects your back
-boosts athletics performance
-increases metabolic rate
-results in higher bone mineral density and stronger bones
Muscular endurance ✅the capacity of muscles to repeatedly exert force, or to maintain
a force over a period of time
, Static muscular endurance ✅how long you can hold a force that is motionless
Dynamic muscular endurance ✅how long you can sustain a force in motion
Flexibility ✅the ability of joints to move through their full ranges of motion
Benefits of flexibility ✅-relief of muscle tension
-reduction of joint/back pain
-improved posture
Yoga, pilates, taichi ✅ways to improve your flexibility
Body composition ✅the relative proportions of the body's lean tissue and fat tissue
Excessive body fat in abdominal area ✅increases risk of heart disease, cancer, and
stroke
Ghrelin ✅appetite stimulant produced by the stomach
Peptide YY (PYY) ✅appetite suppressant
Lower ghrelin ✅during aerobic and resistance exercise
Elevated PYY ✅after aerobic exercise
Preventing osteoporosis ✅increasing physical strength help maintain bone density with
regular exercise
Benefits from physical activity (chronic illnesses) ✅reduction of cardiovascular disease,
cancers, diabetes, and metabolic syndromes
Benefits from physical activity (well-being) ✅improved mood increases buffer against
stress, anxiety, and depression
Benefits from physical activity (cognitive) ✅reduced risk of dementia, and Alzheimer's
disease
Metabolic syndrome (mets) ✅cluster of conditions that include increased blood
pressure, high blood sugar level, abdominal obesity, low HDL cholesterol level and a
high triglyceride level
Causes of mets ✅obesity, lack of physical activity and insulin resistance
Results of active older adults ✅benefits associated with lower morbidity and mortality
