Which of the following is considered a health-related parameter of fitness? Power, Balance, Endurance, or Agility - ANSWER Endurance (Power, balance and agility are considered skill-related paramet... ers of fitness) True / False: Weight loss through diet and cardio appears to be as equally effective and healthy as weight loss through diet and resistance training - ANSWER False (Diet and cardio generally result in large losses of lean mass which compromise functionality and metabolism.) True / False: Activity guidelines recommend accumulating 150-minutes a week of muscle-strengthening activities to improve overall health - ANSWER False (150-minutes of all moderate-intensity activities not simply muscle-strengthening activities) Recent research points to which of the following areas as being critical to improving overall health and longevity? Cardio Exercise, Movement and standing, Physical Activity, or Resistance Exercise - ANSWER Movement and Standing (Movement and standing as this can be integrated into all waking hours as opposed to the small amounts of exercise and physical activity which appear to be insufficient to undo all the ill-effects of being sedentary) True / False: The parietal lobe of the brain is the region primarily responsible for processing shapes and colors - ANSWER False (That is the role of the occipital lobe) True / False: The hippocampus is the region of the brain that is primarily responsible for long-term learning - ANSWER True True / False: Information entering the spine first passes from the white matter to the grey matter before passing to the brain - ANSWER False (sensory information enters the grey matter first, then transfers to the white matter next) True / False: The communication primarily responsible for sustaining your fight-or-flight response during a 4-hour marathon would be the neural system - ANSWER False hormonal system is longer lasting True / False: We stimulate our upper digestive system during a fight-or-flight response while simultaneously shutting down our lower GI and bladder - ANSWER False think survival and need to run as fast as possible True / False: Stress is generally considered harmful and should be avoided or carefully managed - ANSWER False Hans Seyle identified eustress and distress, and stress in moderation, and when coupled with appropriate recovery, it can prove to be helpful to not only survive, but also trigger adaptation to make a stronger species. True / False: Mechanoreceptors respond to a stimulus such as tension within a muscle - ANSWER True Any mechanical stimuli such as vibration, pressure or tension activate mechanoreceptors because they respond to mechanical forces. True / False: Muscle spindles (MS) are stimulated as soon as a muscle is stretched - ANSWER True Muscle spindle (MS) respond to stretching or rate of stretching. True / False: The Golgi tendon Organ (GTO) are stimulated only after about 10-seconds of stretching and stimulate the muscle spindle - ANSWER False When stimulated, GTOs shut off muscle spindle (MS) activity True / False: The respective functions of a MS and GTO can impact overall movement and tissue extensibility (flexibility) - ANSWER True the MS may limit extensibility of tissue whereas the GTO serves to shut of MS activity and possibly permit more movement. In which stage of learning does a learner focus upon 'how to do' rather than 'what to do'? Associative stage Cognitive Stage Autonomous Stage Physical Stage - ANSWER Associative Stage Which proprioceptor responds responds to muscle lengthening with an inhibitory effect to facilitate stretching? Muscle Spindles Pacinian corpuscles Messner's corpuscles Golgi tendon organs - ANSWER Golgi Tendon Organs [Show More]
