319 Exam 2

A client is given a drug that increases testosterone levels. It would result in

an increased activity of AKT and mTOR causing an increase in protein synthesis leading to skeletal muscle hypertrophy

In the first 6-8 weeks of a resistance training program, the gains in strength are due primarily to

neural adaptations

An example of training specificity would be

training for a cyclist race and doing mostly cycling training

Approximately how much strength measurement gain is attributable to "learning" or exercise familiarization from the first set to the fifth set during 1RM testing?

11%

When using a 1-20 RPE scale, which of the following range is considered the ACSM recommendation to improve cardiorespiratory fitness?

12-16

Your desire is to train your athletes to increase muscular strength. The recommended rest periods between sets would be?

3 minutes

If a client of yours who has been consistently showing up to exercise 5 days per week for 16 weeks decides to stop training. How long would it take before the individual lost most if not all of the benefits?

4 weeks

A gymnast needs to improve the muscular size (hypertrophy) of her upper body. What repetitions would maximize her goal, assuming rest periods of 60 - 90 seconds

8-12

Which is NOT a primary cause of muscle fatigue?

ATP depletion

Which is NOT correct about the Valsalva maneuver?

Higher cardiac output

Under which of the following conditions might it be appropriate to wear a weight belt?

Deadlift: 5 sets of 2 at 97% of 1RM

After the first four weeks of a resistance training program, a previously sedentary client experiences a 15 lb. (7 kg) increase in her 1RM bench press and a 25 lb. (11.5 kg) increase in her 1RM leg press. Which of the following is primarily responsible?

Increased motor unit recruitment

You are experiencing DOMS after doing a very challenging resistance training session. Which IS NOT correct about causing DOMS?

Lactic acid buildup

A personal trainer designed an upper and lower body resistance training program. Which of the following is the most appropriate programming?

Upper body Saturday & Wednesday, lower body Sunday & Thursday

The overload principle of physical conditioning means exercising

at intensities greater than normal

A person is given a drug that increases the activity of FoxO (forkhead b). The person would have

atrophy due to increased protein breakdown

When an athlete stops training, the training effect is quickly lost. This illustrates the concept of

detraining

The 2-2 rule states that

if athlete can perform 2 or more reps over assigned rep goal in last set in two consecutive workouts for a certain exercise, weight should be added for next training session.

Cardiovascular adaptations to endurance training are

increased cardiac output

Which is most important in preventing detraining

intensity

An athlete has injured their left arm (non-dominant arm) but can still move their other limbs without pain. As a coach you would advise the athlete to

perform resistance training exercises on the right arm as some benefit can occur to improve strength in the left arm.

Physiologic changes associated with aerobic training include increases in all of the following EXCEPT __________

reaction time

The term overload, when used in conjunction with a sport conditioning program, means to

stress the system above a level to which it's accustomed

An RER of 0.9 indicates that

the main energy source is carbohydrates

The manipulation of specific training variables such as volume, intensity, exercise selection, frequency of training, rest intervals, and speed of movement is known as:

variation for progressive overload
