essential body fat for men is
3%
the body will expend about ____ calories for every liter of oxygen consumed
5
pre and post tests are recommended to be a minimum of _____weeks apart
8
technique used to determine thinness and excessive fatness
BMI
bio-electrical impedance is most frequently used in research and by medical facilities to determine body composition
F
the health fitness standard is set higher than physical fitness standard and requires a more vigorous exercise program
F
the one repetition maximum technique is usually used to determine muscular strength because it does not require a basic skill level to administer
F
A waist circumference of more than 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women indicates a higher risk for cariovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes
T
android obesity is the obesity pattern seen in individuals who tend to store fat in the trunk or abdominal area
T
attaining the health fitness standard requires only moderate amounts of physical activity
T
in comparison to referencing BMI, bodily composition and wait-to-hip ratios are better procedures to determine health risk and recommended body weight
T
nonresponders constitute less than 5% of exercise participants
T
strength is valuable in improving personal appearance and self-image
T
when comparing two individuals whose maximum oxygen uptake is 3.5L/min (absolute value), the person with the lesser body mass will have higher relative value
T
which of the following variables is used to estimate V02max in the 1.0 Mile Walk Test
all of the above
benefits of a cardio-respiratory program include
all of these choices
referring to the trunk of the abdominal area
android and gynoid
the physical fitness standard is most accurately described as
being able to perform vigorous recreational activites
which is the most important health-related component of physical fitness
cardio-respiratory endurance
_____is not a very important reason to do fitness testing for a comprehensive program
comparison of personal results to other participants in the program
achievable range of motion at a joint
flexibility
the modified sit and reach test measures
hamstring and low back flexibiltiy
strength training _____ for the older adult
is a great benefit
the 1.5 Mile Run Test
is used most often to determine cardio-respiratory endurance
nonfat component of body composition
lean body mass
the exercise for men in the muscular endurance test include the
modified dip
the exercises for women in the muscular endurance test include the
modified push-up
good flexibility programs do not directly improve
muscle tone
the ability of a muscle to exert submaximal force repeatedly over time is called
muscular endurance
the ability of a muscle to exert maximum force against resistance is called
muscular strenth
cardio-respiratory endurance is the body capacity to deliver _____ to the exercising tissues
oxygen
the finger touch test is used to assess
shoulder flexibiltiy
aerobic activities include all of the following except
softball
_____ is not a factor that directly affects flexibility
the flexibility of another joint
which is true about exercise nonresponders
they often improve by engaging in a lower body strength-training program
maximal amount of resistance a person is able to lift in a single effot
1 RM
five reasons for fitness testing in a comprehensive program
1. educated yourself regarding fitness components 2. assess fitness level 3. identify areas of weakness 4. motivate to exercise 5. evaluate progress
list four benefits of a cardio-respiratory program
1. higher cardiac strength 2. lower resting heart rate 3. lower risk for disease 4. lower blood lipids
each year, the average american adult gains about 1 to 2 pounds of
body weight
