WORKSHEET 10-A: Aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Please select either True or False. Aerobic means with oxygen. True False Anaerobic means without oxygen.. True False Cells deprived of oxygen live about two weeks. True False Metabolism is the conversion of chemical to mechanical energy. True False An example of chemical energy is food nutrients. True False An example of mechanical energy is walking. True False Basal Metabolic Rate(BMR) is the resting energy level. True False Any increase in activity causes an elevation of the BMR. True False The higher the activity level, the higher the BMR goes. True False The higher the BMR goes, the more calories are burned. True False The more at rest the body is, the fewer calories it burns. True False Sprinting and power lifting are examples of aerobic exercise. True False Jogging and swimming are examples of anaerobic exercise. True False Aerobic exercise primarily trains the skeletal muscles. True False Anaerobic exercise primarily trains the cardiovascular system. True False The 12 minute test measures cardiofitness. True False The mile and one half run measures cardiofitness. True False Bench stepping measures leg power. True False Fitness programs should be personalized. True False Enjoyment of the exercise enhances compliance to the program. True False The Overload Principle means a gradual increase of the workload. True False Improvements in fitness are directly correlated to the work done. True False Quality, well fitted athletic shoes are essential. True False It is not necessary to warm up prior to an aerobic workout. True False It is not necessary to cool down after an aerobic workout. True False Mode is the type of exercise being done. True False Intensity refers to how hard someone is working. True False Intensity is measured by determining the length of the exercise bout. True False Frequency refers to how often one exercises. True False Cross country skiing is good cardiofitness exercise. True False Jogging and walking are good cardiofitness exercises. True False Power Lifting is a good cardiofitness exercise. True False Sports competitions are always good cardiofitness exercises. True False 300 beats per minute is the theoretical maximum for humans. True False 220 minus age determines age adjusted maximal heart rate. True False Minimum intensity for cardiofitness exercise is 80 % of max. True False Maximum intensity for cardiofitness exercise is 90 % of max. True False Alternate days is a recommended cardiofitness frequency. True False Pulse check: determine the blood pressure of the person. True False Cardiofitness reduces the risk factors for heart disease. True False Smoking is a risk factor for heart disease. True False Obesity is a risk factor for heart disease. True False Sedentary style is not a risk factor for heart disease. True False Cardiofitness does not lower mild hypertension. True False Cardiofitness does not improve heart strength. True False Cardiofitness does increase the amount of blood pumped per beat. True False Cycle ergometers are a good aerobic exercise equipment. True False Treadmills are designed primarily to increase leg strength. True False Cardiofitness reduces the amount of "Bad" cholesterol in the blood. True False Cardiofitness can contribute to longevity.
