What effect does vasoconstriction have on arteries?

• Makes them larger

• Makes them smaller

• Makes them longer

• Makes them wider

How do you calculate your maximum heart rate?

• 220 + Age

• 220 - Age

• 200 - Age

• 200 + Age

What is one reason an athlete's heart rate may be higher before exercise?

• They have eaten a large meal

• They have completed a warm-up

• They are feeling sleepy

• They are watching TV

What is one physiological response to excitement before a race?

• Decreased heart rate

• Increased heart rate

• No change in heart rate

• Heart rate becomes erratic

What happens to the heart rate when adrenaline is released?

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It increases

• It stops

For the anaerobic training zone, what should you multiply the maximum heart rate by?

• 0.5

• 0.6

• 0.7

• 0.8

What is the first step in determining the anaerobic training zone?

• Calculate resting heart rate

• Multiply maximum heart rate by 0.8

• Calculate maximum heart rate

• Subtract age from 220

What is the second step for calculating the aerobic training zone?

• Multiply maximum heart rate by 0.5

• Multiply maximum heart rate by 0.6

• Multiply maximum heart rate by 0.7

• Multiply maximum heart rate by 0.8

Why is it important to calculate heart rate training zones?

• To improve sleep quality

• To enhance exercise effectiveness

• To reduce food intake

• To increase blood pressure

What is the primary function of the aerobic respiratory system?

• Producing energy during high-intensity exercise

• Producing energy while at rest or during low-intensity exercise

• Producing energy only during sleep

• Producing energy for short bursts of activity
