Question 44

Which of the following physiological changes does NOT occur when a client improves aerobic capacity?
The muscles will be able to extract more oxygen from the blood.
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.
Question 45

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

bicep brachii and latisimus dorsi
posterior deltoid
anterior deltoid and triceps brachii
middle deltoid.

Biceps femoris
Gluteus maximus
Question 48

A subject with elbows held at 90 degrees of flexion is handed a 150 lb (68.1kg) barbell. Even though he exerts maximal tension, the barbell causes the joint angle to increase to 170 degrees. Which one of the following describes the muscle action during the extension?
Isotonic concentric

Question 49

Type II muscle fibers:
Have a high capacity to generate energy through the electron transport system.
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.
Question 50

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