True
false
The skeletal system experiences short term effects of exercise.
True
False
Which is the correct calculation for Cardiac Output?
Stroke volume x Tidal volume
Heart rate x Breathing rate
Stroke volume x Heart rate
Tidal volume x Breathing rate
What does the body need more of to break down lactic acid?
Glucose
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen
Which is the correct calculation for minute ventilation?
Stroke volume x Tidal volume
Heart rate x Breathing rate
Stroke volume x Heart rate
Tidal volume x Breathing rate
What is vascular shunting?
The redistribution of blood to the working muscles
The supplying of muscles with glucose
An increase in the size of the heart
The heart pushing blood around the body
Why do breathing rate, breathing depth & heart rate remain elevated after exercise?
To prevent the athlete feeling tired
To repay the oxygen debt
Because the athlete is unfit
To speed up the removal of oxygen
Which of the following is NOT a benefit of cardiac hypertrophy?
Increased resting heart rate
Decreased resting heart rate
Increased resting stroke volume
Quicker rate of recovery
Which of the following is NOT a long term effect of exercise on the respiratory system?
Increased aerobic capacity
Stronger diaphragm & Intercostal muscles
More efficient CO2 removal
Decreased resting heart rate
Which athlete would benefit most from improved vascular shunting?
100m sprinter
Marathon runner
Golfer
Weight lifter

True
False
Which of the following is a benefit of muscular hypertrophy?
Increased muscular strength
Increased muscular endurance
Increased muscle mass & size

During exercise, tidal volume and minute ventilation..
Both increase
Both decrease
Tidal volume increases, Minute ventilation decreases
Tidal volume decreased, Minute ventilation increases
A benefit of muscular endurance is that muscles become less resistant to fatigue.
True
False
Which part of the heart particularly increases in size as a result of cardiac hypertrophy?
Left ventricle
Right ventricle
Left atrium
Right atrium
With regular exercise, ligaments and tendons become stronger, thicker and more elastic?
True
False
Overload is working the body harder than normal?
True
False
An example of specificity is a goalkeeper undertaking regular aerobic training
True
False
Reversibility generally occurs because of...
Injury & Illness
Low athlete motivation
Training lacks specificity
An athlete is training too frequently
