KINE 407 exam 1

which of the following is true regarding physical inactivity?

all (it has been identified as one of the four leading contributors to premature mortality, it is a global pandemic, it affects 31.1% of adults worldwide)

which is considered a CVD risk factor for BMI or waist-circumference (WC)?

WC greater than 40 in for women

which of the following is not to be considered a benefit of regular physical activity and/or exercise?

increased morbidity and mortality

which is not considered a common method for estimating PA intensity?

resting heart rate (RHR)

recent evidence appears to support the notion that high level of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) may eliminate the mortality risk associated with high levels of sedentary behavior. However, for this to occur, daily MVPA...

must be at least 4.3 times the minimum recommended amount

which is the most correct definition of sedentary behavior?

any behavior resulting in an energy expenditure less than and equal to 1.5 METS while in a sitting, reclining, or lying posture

physical fitness is defined as

the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and meet unforeseen emergencies

why is the risk of sudden cardiac death or acute myocardial infarction higher in middle-aged and older adults than in younger individuals?

there is a higher prevalence of underlying or overt cardiovascular disease in the older population

exercise is defined as

a type of physical activity consisting of planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement done to improve and/or maintain one or more components of physical fitness

according to the cited literature, what percent of the U.S. adults self-report meeting both the aerobic and muscle strengthening activity guidelines?

20.5%

which of the following has been defined as "moderate" physical activity?

3 to 6 METs

higher levels of muscular strength, achieved through a regular strength training program, result in

lowered risk of all-cause mortality

benefits attributed to resistance training may include all except

all (improved blood lipids for those who are overweight, improved body composition, and improved management of Type 2 diabetes)

the most common exercise-related complication is

musculoskeletal injury (MSI)

Physical activity is defined as

any bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that results in a substantial increase in caloric requirements over resting energy expenditure

which is the most accurate definition of "light" activity based on MET values?

1.6 to 2.9 METs

according to the blood pressure guidelines form both the ACC/AHC (2017) and the JNC 7 (2003), which statement is the most true regarding "normal" blood pressure?

any systolic blood pressure reading less than 120 mm Hg considered normal

from several accounts, the greatest cause of exercise-related death among young athletes is?

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

what is the recommended sequence of evaluation?

informed consent, exercise preparticipation health screening, health history, cardiovascular (CV) risk factor analysis

which is considered a "useful, convenient, and standardized method" for quantifying absolute intensity of different physical activities?

metabolic equivalents (METs)

given the same absolute MET level of PA, which statement is most correct?

less fit individuals will work relatively harder than more fit individuals

for men at what age does age itself become a risk factor for CVD?

45 yr

which CVD factor is considered "negative", meaning it takes away from risk?

elevated HDL cholesterol

according to the national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES), the average American adult self-reports what duration of daily sitting behavior?

4.5 to 5.0 h

what is not correct about informed consent?

the individual should not to be told the risk of the screening
