WorksheetsAcute Responses To Exercise
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
Identify the term for the following definition: The maintenance of body temperature and the heat exchange that occurs between the body and the environment
Thermoregulation
Homeostasis
Hypothemia
Acute responses
Vasodilation is...
When the blood vessels contrict
When a blood vessel shortens in length
The decrease of blood flow to the tissues
The widening of the blood vessels
Which best defines heart rate?
The rate in which the blood travels through the heart
The amount of blood the heart pumps per minute
The number of times the heart contracts or beats per minute
The number of times the heart contracts or beats per second
When we exercise, cardiac output increases due to the increase in both...
Stroke volume and steady state
Heart rate and stroke volume
The amount of blood being pumped from the heart
Blood volume and blood flow redistribution
Systolic blood pressure...
Decreases when we participate in physical activity
Causes the diastolic blood pressure to significantly increase when exercising
Increases when we participate in physical activity
The redistribution of blood flow during exercise increases to the:
Kidneys
Liver
Brain
Muscles
A result of participating in a bout of high intensity exercise, which statement is most correct
Increase lactic adic levels, decrease muscle temperature
Decrease lactic acid levels, decrease muscle temperature
Increase lactic acid levels, increase muscle temperature
Decrease lactic acid levels, decrease muscle temperature
Acute respiratory responses to exercise do not include:
Ventilation
Cardiac Output
Tidal Volume
Pulmonary Diffusion
Movement of O2 and CO2 from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is:
Ventilation
Redistribution of blood flow
Pulmonary diffusion
Increased blood flow to working muscles
Which of the following is not an acute respiratory response to increased exercise intensity?
Increased tidal volume
Increased stroke volume
Increased gaseous exchange at the lungs
Increased intercostal muscle contractions
During continuous exercise the heart rate increases and the force of contraction is also greater. This results in:
An increase in diastolic blood pressure.
An increase in systolic blood pressure.
An increase in diastolic and systolic blood pressure.
No change to systolic blood pressure.
The arteriovenous oxygen difference
Decreases in response to increased exercise loads
Increases in response to increased exercise loads
Plateaus when VO2 max is achieved
Is primarily fuelled by the aerobic energy system
The level of response of acute physiological changes within the body systems when participating in physical activity is dependent on:
duration of the activity
intensity of the activity
type of activity
all of the above
