Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

1. A type-1 skeletal muscle fiber - found in abundance in endurance athletes.






2. The difference between maximal heart rate and resting heart rate.






3. A disease characterized by a significant decrease in bone density.






4. Divides the body into left and right halves.






5. The structural unit of the lung; tiny air sacs where exchange of respiratory gases with the capillaries takes place.






6. The range of motion of a joint.






7. A study which observes the same subjects over a long period of time.






8. Beneficial physiological changes that occur as a result of exercise training.






9. The arteries which supply the heart muscle with oxygen.






10. A small - dense lipoprotein composed mainly of protein. Often termed the 'good' cholesterol. High levels are associated with a lowering of risk for CAD.






11. Movement of a limb away from the mid-line of the body. For the shoulder joint - the arm continues to the vertical.






12. A chronic elevation of arterial blood pressure which is a primary risk factor for CAD and stroke; any resting value consistently greater than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg is considered a hypertensive value. (Hypertension)






13. A myth which says that fat can be reduced from one specific area of the body through a specific exercise.






14. Long term physical training.






15. A stretch which is held for at least 15 seconds.






16. A blood vessel which takes blood from the tissues to the heart.






17. With Oxygen






18. An indicator of dysfunction - illness - or disease that can be felt but not seen.






19. The process by which fatty acids are broken down to make acetyl CO-A - which then enters the Krebs Cycle.






20. Sole of the foot turned inward - lifting its medial border.






21. A graded exercise test to exhaustion - during which the ECG and blood pressure responses are carefully monitored. The purpose of a maximal treadmill exercise test is to determine cardiorespiratory fitness level and/or diagnose coronary artery disease






22. A solution with a lower concentration of solutes than body fluids.






23. 3.5 ml/kg/min






24. A process by which risk is determined.






25. Taking steps to begin to change a behavior.






26. Under the skin.






27. The method by which liability is determined.






28. The maximal amount of oxygen that the body can utilize per kilogram of body weight per minute. Also called max VO2 - VO2 max - cardiorespiratory fitness level - aerobic power.






29. A behavior or characteristic which increases probability for disease.






30. Relating to the heart and blood vessels






31. Length of time.






32. Rapid heart beat.






33. The pressure in the arteries when the heart is between beats.






34. The minimum energy required to maintain the body's life functions at rest.






35. The study of the function of the body.






36. A nerve cell which conducts impulses from the central nervous system to a group of muscle fibers to produce movement.






37. A subnormal hemoglobin content or number of red blood cells.






38. The muscle most involved in producing a movement.






39. Inactive.






40. Recommendation that a person see a qualified medical professional to review their health status.






41. A resting heart rate less than 60 beats per minute.






42. A type of drug used to treat angina - hypertension - or arrhythmias.






43. The maximal amount of oxygen that the body can utilize per kilogram of body weight per minute. Also called max VO2 - VO2 max - cardiorespiratory fitness level - aerobic power. (Maximal Oxygen Uptake)






44. A condition in normal healthy individuals where the blood glucose level falls below 70 mg/dl. Can also occur in diabetics as a result of injecting too much insulin or not eating. (Low Blood Sugar)






45. The product of anaerobic glycolysis; closely related to fatigue during high intensity exercise.






46. Pertaining to the kidneys.






47. A hormone produced by the adrenal gland.






48. The difference in the amount of oxygen between the arteries and the veins. Represents how much O2 has been used by the tissue.






49. A large lipoprotein composed mostly of cholesterol; elevated LDL levels are strongly related to increased CAD risk.






50. A tiny blood vessel where exchange of nutrients and wastes occurs between the bloodstream and the tissues.
