Vigorous exercise includes an HRR range of 60-89% Which of the following methods is not recommended for estimating exercise intensity for exercise prescription (Ex Rx)? - ✔✔-Maximum heart rate percentage (%HRmax) -It's not recommended to use HR-dependent methods when prescribing exercise intensities because of the over/underestimation that can occur. HR can also vary depending on the method used to establish HR. Direct measurements of physiological responses (HRR,VO2R, VT, etc) are preferred because these tend to be less subject to variation and provide a truer indication of fitness.

Nor does it legally protect the rights of the client. At minimum, professionals performing fitness assessments on others should possess which combination of the following? - ✔✔--CPR and ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist The optimal Ex Rx should address which of the following? - ✔✔-Cardio-respiratory (aerobic) fitness, body composition, neuromotor fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility _____ involves holding the stretched position using the strength of the agonist muscle as is common in many forms of yoga - ✔✔-Active Static Stretching -In passive static stretching, the muscle/tendon group being stretched is held by a partner or device such as an elastic band The ACSM recommends a frequency of at least _____ d of moderate exercise or at least _____ d of vigorous exercise per week for aerobic exercise training - ✔✔-5;3 -ACSM provides recommendations of at least 5 days/week of moderate exercise, or at least 3 days/week of vigorous exercise, or a combination of moderate and vigorous exercise on at least 3-5 days/week If a 175-lb man jogged for 30-min treadmill at an intensity of 26 mL*kg*min*, what would his approximate caloric expenditure be for the entire 30-min session? - ✔✔-310.5 kcal -79.5 kg x 26 mL•kg•min ÷ 200 ~ 10.3 kcal/min - 10.3 kcal/min x 30 minutes ~ 310.2 kcal/30 minutes _____ is not recommended because of the significant chance of injury, severe muscle soreness, and serious complications such as rhabdomyolysis. - ✔✔-Resistance training composed exclusively of eccentric contractions conducted at very high intensities Which of the following is not true regarding the psychological benefits of regular exercise in the elderly? - ✔✔-Stimulate appetite -Older people who exercise regularly report greater life satisfaction, greater happiness, high selfefficacy, improved self-concept & self-esteem, and reduced psychological stress Which statement is true regarding physical activity for children? - ✔✔-Children should perform 30 min of moderate intensity and 30 min of vigorous intensity physical activity on most days of the week What does the acronym FITT-VP stand for? - ✔✔-Frequency, intensity, time type, volume, and progression Optimal Ex Rx should contain which of the following? - ✔✔-Cardio-respiratory fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition, and neuromotor fitness According to the most recent ACSM guidelines, in order to gain health benefits, it is recommended that moderate physical activity should be performed how many days per week? - ✔✔-5 days/week For health benefits, it is recommended that vigorous physical activity should be performed how many days per week? - ✔✔-3 days/week Moderate exercise is considered to be - ✔✔-40-59% HRR or VO2R Vigorous exercise is considered to be - ✔✔-60-89% HRR or VO2R The recommended exercise duration for moderate exercise is - ✔✔-30-60 minutes/day When using a pedometer, how many steps should most individuals achieve? - ✔✔-~7000 steps/day - The goal of 10,000 steps/day is often cited, but achieving a pedometer step count of at least 5,400- 7,900/day can meet recommended exercise targets, with the higher end showing more consistent benefit. For this reason and the imprecision of step counting devices, a target of at least 7,000 steps is recommended for most people. Muscular fitness refers to - ✔✔-Muscular endurance, muscu [Show More]
