    Why does blood pooling lead to an increased risk of fainting?

    • It leads to decrease of blood sugar

    • It leads to an increase of blood sugar

    • It leads to an increase in the blood supply to the brain

    • It leads to a decrease in the blood supply to the brain

    Correct Answer
    A. It leads to a decrease in the blood supply to the brain
    Explanation
    Blood pooling refers to the accumulation of blood in the lower extremities, which can happen when a person stands or sits for long periods without moving. This can occur due to the effects of gravity and reduced muscle contractions that help pump blood back to the heart. When blood pools in the legs, there is less blood available to circulate to the brain. As a result, the brain may not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, leading to a decrease in the blood supply to the brain. This reduced blood flow can result in dizziness, lightheadedness, and ultimately fainting.

    What are supine exercises after the first trimester of pregnancy-contraindicated?

    • They can cause stretching of ligaments supporting joints

    • They can cause loss of balance

    • They can reduce blood supply to the baby an mother

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. They can reduce blood supply to the baby an mother
    Explanation
    Supine exercises after the first trimester of pregnancy are contraindicated because they can reduce blood supply to the baby and mother. When a pregnant woman lies flat on her back, the weight of the uterus can compress the vena cava, a large vein that returns blood to the heart. This compression can restrict blood flow, leading to decreased oxygen and nutrient supply to the baby and mother. It is recommended to avoid supine exercises and instead opt for exercises in a side-lying or upright position to maintain proper blood flow during pregnancy.

    A long term effect of regular exercise on the heart is increased stroke volume. What effect will this have?

    • The heart will beat less frequently

    • The heart will contract less forcefully

    • Blood pressure will increase

    • CHD risk will increase

    Correct Answer
    A. The heart will beat less frequently
    Explanation
    Regular exercise strengthens the heart muscles, allowing it to pump more blood with each beat. This increased stroke volume means that the heart can meet the body's demands more efficiently, resulting in a lower heart rate at rest and during physical activity. As a result, the heart will beat less frequently. This is a positive effect of regular exercise on the heart, as it indicates improved cardiovascular fitness.

    Which of the following will primarily recruit type 2b muscle fibers in resistance training?

    • High weight and high repetitions

    • High weight and low repetitions

    • Low weight and high repetitions

    • Low weight and low repetitions

    Correct Answer
    A. High weight and low repetitions
    Explanation
    High weight and low repetitions in resistance training primarily recruit type 2b muscle fibers. Type 2b muscle fibers are fast-twitch fibers that are responsible for generating quick and powerful contractions. They are recruited during high-intensity exercises such as lifting heavy weights. Low repetitions with high weight require a high level of force production, which activates the type 2b muscle fibers. This type of training is commonly used to increase muscle strength and power.

    Which of the following types of muscles is most likely to cause DOMS?

    • Isometric

    • Isokinetic

    • Concentric

    • Eccentric

    Correct Answer
    A. Eccentric
    Explanation
    Eccentric muscles are most likely to cause Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) because they are responsible for controlling the lengthening of the muscle during movement. This type of muscle contraction creates more tension and stress on the muscle fibers, leading to microscopic damage and inflammation. This damage and inflammation are believed to be the primary causes of DOMS, resulting in muscle soreness and stiffness that is typically felt 24-48 hours after exercise. Isometric, isokinetic, and concentric muscle contractions do not typically cause as much muscle damage, making eccentric contractions the most likely culprit for DOMS.
