Back (Answer)

Increase

#9
Front (Question)

Cardiac output is calculated as:

Front (Question)

With endurance training, we see adaptations in the muscle including:

Back (Answer)

(B, C, and D are correct) • Increased myoglobin • Increased number of mitochondria • Increased size of mitochondria

#11
Front (Question)

Endurance training should aim to improve:

Back (Answer)

Front (Question)

The ___ is an estimation of the heart’s oxygen demand

Back (Answer)

Rate pressure product

#15
Front (Question)

Respiratory exchange ratio ___ due to ___ with endurance training

Back (Answer)

Decreases; Increased utilization of free fatty acids

#16
Front (Question)

Blood flow to exercising muscle increases due to ___

Back (Answer)

(All the above) • Increased capillarization of trained muscle • Increased mitochondrial density • Increased enzyme activity

Back (Answer)

Stroke Volume

#19
Front (Question)

A gradual decrease in stroke volume while seeing a subsequent increase in heart rate describes:

Back (Answer)

Cardiovascular drift

#20
Front (Question)

Sympathetic nervous system triggers he release of the ___, which increases heart contractility.

Back (Answer)

Catecholamines

#21
Front (Question)

Normal resting heart rate is between 60-100 bpm and a HR above 100 is called tachycardia

Back (Answer)

True

#22

According to the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines, adults need 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week in a minimum of 10 minute bouts

Back (Answer)

False

#23
Front (Question)

Changes in blood flow resistance result from contraction/relaxation of the capillaries

Back (Answer)

False

#24
Front (Question)

High pressure is in the venous side of blood flow because it is closer to the driving force and closer to the heart

Back (Answer)

False
