Question

1. Success in sport competition such as a 220-yd sprint run requires a highly trained:

aerobic energy system

lactic acid energy system

ATP-CP energy system

b and c

2. For the average human, blood lactate:

begins to accumulate significantly at a point that is about 55-65% of Vo2 max

begins to accumulate significantly only when the Vo2 max is reached

can be used as an energy fuel by the heart and skeletal muscles

a and c

3. Which of the following is false concerning the RER?

RER for carbohydrate is 1.00

RER for lipid is 0.90

RER for 50% CHO and 50% lipid is 0.85

a, b, and c are all false

4. RER is computed as:

CO2 produced x O2 consumed

CO2 produced x O2 consumed x N2 correction factor

CO2 produced ¸ O2 consumed

O2 consumed ¸ CO2 produced

5. As a result of long term aerobic training the body tends to depend more on __________ as a substrate for metabolism

a. fat

b. carbohydrate

c. protein

d. there is no change in substrate

6. As a result of aerobic training, the lactate threshold occurs at:

a higher percentage of maximal O2 uptake

a lower percentage of maximal O2 uptake

c.    a higher velocity of running (absolute exercise intensity)

d.    both a and c

7. Lactate threshold during a graded exercise test is best used as a predictor of:

muscle strength

muscle endurance

distance running performance

sprint performance

8. The single best indicator of one's ability to sustain high intensity aerobic exercise is:

Maximal oxygen debt

Maximal oxygen deficit

VO2 max

Maximal Ventilation

Explanation / Answer

1. b and c

For short sports immediate energy is required. Lactic acid system is anaerobic respiration and ATP CP system provides energy.

2. a and c

When lactic acid reaches a certain level lactate starts to form and this lactate is used as energy source in various tissues.
