WorksheetsChronic Physiological Adaptations of Exercise - Aerobic
Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
Aerobic/Cardio exercises cause cardiac hypertrophy, which is:
the decrease in muscle mass of the heart
the increase in muscle mass of the heart
the increase in muscles around the lungs
the increase in muscle mass around the body
With exercise, the growth of the heart muscles occur mainly in which area?
The right atrium
The right ventricle
The left ventricle
The left atrium
What is Stroke Volume?
The volume of blood stored in the left ventricle of the heart
The increase in size and strength of the heart muscles
The number of contractions of the heart in a minute
The volume of blood ejected from each ventricle due to the contraction of the heart muscle
Compared to an untrained person, the stroke volume of a trained person will:
Increase
Decrease
Stay the same
None of the above
Which of the following affects a person's resting heart rate?
fitness level
stress
medication
weather
all of the above
The average human heart beat per minute is
0
10-50
60-100
110-150
Systolic blood pressure is the blood pressure of the arteries when the heart contracts/beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the blood pressure of the arteries when the heart relaxes.
True
False
What happens to our blood pressure (during rest) if we're consistent with exercise?
Increase
Decrease
Stay the same
Explodes. BOOM!
Exercise causes this change in the lungs. Which of the following best describes this image?
Increase in nerves around the alveoli
Increase in capillaries around the left ventricle
Increase in capillaries around the alveoli
Increase of blood flow to the rest of the body
The increase in capillaries around the alveoli causes
quicker and more efficient exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
slower and poorer exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
more efficient blood flow to the heart
less efficient blood flow to the heart
