According to the World Health Organisation how should daily physical exercise recommended activity times be met?
The time can be broken down into convenient periods during the day.
The time should be continuous.
The time should be split into two equal parts.
The activity should be carried out for no more than 5 minutes’ at any one time.
All physical exercise is classed as sport. Is this statement True or False?
Carbohydrates and fats are both considered as fuels, and therefore energy sources for the human body. What is the approximate ratio between the energy available from equal amounts of carbohydrates and fats?
Fats provide approximately 37 times more energy than an equivalent amount by weight of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates provide approximately 37 times more energy than an equivalent amount by weight of fats.
Equal amounts by weight of carbohydrates and fats provide equal amounts of energy.
Equal amounts by volume of carbohydrates and fats provide equal amounts of energy.
During physical exercise activity, as the body works harder, breathing will quicken and the heart rate will increase. What else will occur to allow more oxygen to be passed through the body to the working muscles?
The blood vessels will expand to increase the blood flow.
The heart will enlarge to pump more blood.
The arteries will contract to make the oxygen rich blood flow more quickly.
The blood supply will shut off to the liver and kidneys to allow increases blood flow to the muscles.
How does oxygen normally get into the bloodstream?
Through the alveoli in the lining of the lungs.
The heart pumps it into the blood.
It is absorbed through the muscles and into the blood.
Through the walls of the abdomen.
How does the human body deal with the heat energy generated during physical exercise?
It produces sweat which helps get rid of the heat energy.
It causes the body to shiver.
It increases urine production in the body which, when passed gets rid of some of the heat.
It stores it in the body until the individual can take a cold shower.
How many energy systems are normally available to the human body?
In addition to speed, stamina, flexibility and co-ordination which one of the given options is the other aspect considered as a measure of physical performance capacity?
In terms of physical training what does the Principle of Decreasing Output predict will happen?
The better trained that an individual is more difficult it will be to further improve performance.
The more training an individual does the less they can achieve.
The more food an individual consumes the less output energy is available.
The greater the effort put into training by an individual the less the output will be.
One of the principles of physical training is the Principle of Reversibility. What does this principle predict will occur following a period of a few weeks of interruption to training?
Training should be started again slowly, but build up rapidly as the body “remembers” the necessary adjustments.
Training can be picked up at the level that was being done prior to the interruption.
Training must be started again from basics and built up only very slowly.
Training needs to be done only once per week until the individual has returned to the fitness level they were at prior to the interruption.
One of the principles of physical training is the Principle of Specificity. Select from the options given the one, which best describes the main theme of this principle:
You should mainly train the muscle groups that are required for the activity you intend to take part in.
You should train all of the muscles groups in your body equally.
You should mainly train the muscle groups that you do not normally use your regular physical activities to prevent them becoming too weak.
Cycling is the best training activity to do to prepare for a 5 km run.
Select the most accurate statement, in relation to the human body’s energy systems, from the options given:
The phosphate system is used for very short, explosive activities and the oxygen system is used for long, steady exertion.
The lactic acid system is used for intense activity and the oxygen system is used for very short, explosive activities.
The phosphate system is used for long, steady exertion and the oxygen system is used for very short, explosive activities.
Select the option which correctly completes the following statement. By doing sufficient physical activity you can decrease the chance of developing:
Cardiovascular disease, the flu or sweaty feet.
Type 2 diabetes, headache or proteins.
Select the option which correctly completes the following statement. By inhaling, oxygen goes:
First to your lungs and is then transported to your muscles through the blood.
First to your muscles and then into your blood.
Directly into your blood and then to your muscles.
Select the option which correctly completes the following statement. The heart is:
A muscle that pumps blood through your body.
Comprised of protein and carbohydrates.
Select the option which correctly completes the following statement. There are three types of fuel in your body:
The phosphate, lactic acid and oxygen systems.
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Muscles, tendons and joints.
Select the option which correctly completes the following statement. When you engage in physical activity:
Heat is released which makes you sweat.
Lactic acid gets into your lungs.
Select the option which correctly completes the following statement. Which one of the physical activities given in the options is most likely to result in weight loss?
Some forms of physical exercise contribute more to weight loss than others. Which one of the physical activities given in the options is most likely to result in weight loss?
The Lactic acid system is one of the energy systems of the human body. What is the main fuel source used in this system?
The Principle of Overload is one of the five principles of physical training. What does this principle predict will happen if training overload occurs?
The muscles will hurt and may need to be rested for a few days.
Individuals will rapidly lose weight due to the additional training load.
If an individual try to lift too heavy a load they will risk breaking a bone.
Lactic acid will build up in the muscles.
What does the World Health Organisation physical activity standard recommend as the minimum required frequency and duration for intense exercise to be beneficial to an individual?
20 minutes’ activity 3 days a week.
30 minutes’ activity 5 days a week.
30 minutes’ activity every day.
20 minutes’ activity every day.
What does the World Health Organisation physical activity standard recommend as the minimum required frequency and duration for moderately intense exercise to be beneficial to an individual?
30 minutes’ activity 5 days a week.
20 minutes’ activity 5 days a week.
20 minutes’ activity 3 days a week.
30 minutes’ activity every day.
Which of the activities given in the options is likely to be most beneficial to you from a fitness point of view?
Walking up a flight of stairs.
Taking an elevator to an upper floor.
Relaxing with a good book.
Which of the given options is considered as one of the three main energy systems of the human body?
