The rate at which you use energy when you are completely at rest is called ___________.
heart rate
advanced metabolic rate
calorie
basal metabolic rate
The overload principle in fitness and exercise states:
the body will adapt or change based on the specific type of training it receives.
in order to benefit from training, you need to go from more general exercises to more specific exercises.
in order for a muscle to become stronger, more flexible, or gain more endurance, it has to be put under stress or forced to work.
a person can lose the effects of training once the training is stopped.
What is a measure of heat energy released when nutrients are burned or broken down?
BMR
calorie
endurance
digestion
Which of the following factors affect basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
age
gender
weight
body shape
True or False: The more calories that a food has, the more heat energy it contains.
True
False
The specificity principle states that:
the body will adapt or change based on the specific type of training it receives.
in order for a muscle to become stronger, more flexible, and have more endurance, it has to be put under stress.
the effects of training will be lost once training ends.
no two individuals will benefit the same way from training.
The number of calories a person needs in a day are affected by:
the amount of activity that a person will do.
the air temperature.
basal metabolic rate (BMR).
none of the above.
The reversibility principle in exercise states:
in order for a muscle to gain strength, more flexibility, or more endurance, it has to undergo stress.
a movement has to be reversed in order for the muscle to become stronger, more flexible, or gain more endurance.
a person can lose the effects of training when he/she stops training.
no two individuals will benefit the same way from training unless they reverse their training and start at the same point.
The exercise principle that states that you need to go from general training or activities to exact skills that are needed in a particular activity is:
the overload principle
the reversibility principle
the individuality principle
the specificity principle
The type of training that involves groups of exercises done back-to-back with little to no rest in between is called:
endurance training
interval training
circuit training
flexibility training
In the acronym, F.I.T.T., what does the "I" stand for?
Interval
Intensity
Indurance
"I" don't know the answer.
One of the benefits of circuit training is:
it's a good way to exercise when you don't have a lot of time.
it allows you to have breaks.
it allows you to always work with a partner.
it always involves the same movements so that learn the routine faster.
In the acronym, F.I.T.T., the "F" stands for:
fast.
fitness.
frequency
flexibility.
