Question 1

Which of the following methods of assessment is often considered inaccurate when testing physically active individuals?&#10;A)Body Mass Index (BMI)&#10;B)VO&#173;&#173;2&#173; Max&#10;C)Body Fat Percentage&#10;D)Vertical Leap

Accepted Answer

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is often considered an inaccurate method of testing when dealing with physically active individuals. BMI only takes into account height and weight and fails to consider body composition.

Question 2

VO? Max testing is commonly used to measure what physiological quality?&#10;A)Strength&#10;B)Speed&#10;C)Anaerobic Power&#10;D)Aerobic Capacity

Accepted Answer

VO? Max testing is used to measure a person's aerobic capacity. The results reflect the individual's maximum oxygen uptake and allow us to determine the limits of his/her aerobic system.

Question 3

Which of the following is not considered part of the hamstring?&#10;A)Semimembranosus&#10;B)Biceps Femoris (long head)&#10;C)Rectus Femoris&#10;D)Semitendinosus

Accepted Answer

The rectus femoris is not part of the hamstring, it is a knee extensor and hip flexor, and is part of the quadriceps. The semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and the short and long heads of the biceps femoris are all part of the hamstring.

Question 4

The sternocleidomastoid is located in what part of the body?&#10;A)Neck&#10;B)Thigh&#10;C)Calf&#10;D)Lower Back

Accepted Answer

The sternocleidomastoid is located in the neck. It acts in the flexion and rotation of the head.

Question 5

Commonly performed on a cycle ergometer, the Wingate test is used to measure what?&#10;A)Aerobic Capacity&#10;B)Flexibility&#10;C)Anaerobic Power&#10;D)Maximal Strength

Accepted Answer

The Wingate test is used to measure an individual's anaerobic power. It is a maximal effort test usually done on a cycle ergometer, most commonly lasting 30 seconds.

Question 6

When discussing sports periodization, a period of training lasting approximately a month is known as what kind of cycle?&#10;A)Macrocycle&#10;B)Mesocycle&#10;C)Microcycle&#10;D)Megacycle

Accepted Answer

A mesocycle refers to a training cycle lasting roughly one month. Mesocycles are part of yearly plan known as the macrocycle.

Question 7

During intense physical effort, the accumulation of which ions will negatively affect performance?&#10;A)Hydrogen&#10;B)Bicarbonate&#10;C)Potassium&#10;D)Sodium

Accepted Answer

Intense effort raises the amount of positive hydrogen ions, which decreases performance by altering the ph in the muscles.

Question 8

A 30-second hockey shift mainly solicits which energy system?&#10;A)Beta-Oxidation&#10;B)Creatine Phosphate&#10;C)Glycolysis&#10;D)Adenosine Triphosphate

Accepted Answer

A 30 second hockey shift mainly solicits glycolysis as an energy system. The duration of the effort exceeds what can be effectively provided by the ATP/ CP system, and the effort exceeds the capacity of the beta-oxidation system.

Question 9

When training for an Olympic lifting event, which energy system should be most carefully considered?&#10;A)Lactate&#10;B)Beta-Oxidation&#10;C)Glycolysis&#10;D)ATP/CP

Accepted Answer

Olympic lifts are performed only once at a time in competition and require maximal strength and power, they therefore depend on the ATP/CP energy system.

Question 10

The quadriceps crosses the knee joint, allowing us to extend it. Unlike the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and vastus intermedius, the rectus femoris also crosses the hip joint. What extra function does this allow it to perform?

A)Hip Extension
B)Hip Flexion
C)Knee Flexion
D)B and C

Accepted Answer

The rectus femoris crosses the hip joint and acts as a hip flexor. It, however, does not contribute to knee flexion.
