Q

The disadvantage of anaerobic glycolysis in high-intensity muscle contractions is that

A

ATP production cannot be sustained for long events.

17
Q

When conditions in the exercising muscle are anaerobic, metabolism of glucose results in

A

the formation of lactate.

18
Q

A good way to determine the intensity of exercise is to measure the amount of oxygen a person consumes.

19
Q

In order for an individual to maintain an exercise regimen it helps if

A

the exercise is built into a daily routine.

20
Q

At very high intensities of exercise, most of the energy the body uses is supplied by

A

muscle glycogen.

21
Q

Thirst is an excellent indicator of fluid needs during exercise.

Q

Glucose is stored in muscle tissue as

23
Q

According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans substantial health benefits occur when adults engage

A

in 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week.

24
Q

During muscle-building regimes, how much protein should athletes consume?

A

1.5g-1.7g/kg

25
After 1½ to 2 hours of exertion, drinks with 10% to 20% solution of carbohydrates
take longer to absorb and are not recommended.
26
Restoration of muscle glycogen occurs when _____ grams of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight are consumed 30 minutes after exercise and again 2 hours after exercise.
1.0 - 1.5
27
The majority of stored energy in the body is in the form of
triglycerides.
28
Hyponatremia is a condition caused by
overconsumption of water.
29
The benefits of participating in different types of exercise are
strengthening a variety of muscle groups. reducing the chances of injury. promoting activities that are more interesting and thus more likely to be continued. All of these responses are correct
30
A response called hypertrophy occurs when
muscles enlarge after being made to work repeatedly
31
Training and exercise are beneficial because they
increase the number of mitochondria in muscle cells.
32
Fluids should be consumed _________ an athletic event.
before, during, and after. all are correct
33
The best exercise is one you want to continue to do.
true
