Total lung volume will increase in proportion to the total accumulated time of high-intensity exercise.

The oxygen carrying capacity of the blood will increase.

The amount of air the lungs can take in will increase because of increases in the rate and depth of breathing.

As the intensity of dynamic exercise increases, which of the following sets of responses occurs?

Heart rate and systolic blood pressure increase, diastolic pressure remains unchanged.

Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure increase.

Heart rate and systolic blood pressure increase, diastolic pressure remains unchanged.

Heart rate and systolic blood pressure increase, stroke volume and cardiac output remain the same.

Stroke volume decreases, heart rate and cardiac output increase.

Have a high capacity to generate energy from fat.

Are recruited at a higher percentage of maximum force than Type I fibers.

Have high endurance capabilities.

Which of the following is a normal blood pressure (BP) response to aerobic exercise?

Systolic BP increases proportionately to increases in workload and diastolic BP remains unchanged or decreases slightly.

Both systolic and diastolic BP increase proportionately to increases in workload.

Systolic BP increases and diastolic BP decreases.

Systolic BP increases proportionately to increases in workload and diastolic BP remains unchanged or decreases slightly.

Systolic and diastolic BP both decrease at the onset of exercise, then increase in proportion to the increase in intensity.
