Question 1

This chapter reviews the evidence on the links between physical activity and psychological well-being, looking at which combination of these four items: 1) Depression, 2) Mood, 3) Self-esteem, and 4) 'core' affect?

A) 1 and 2
B) 3 and 4.
C) 2 and 4
D) 1 and 4.

2 and 4

Accepted Answer

Physical activity has been linked to improved mood and 'core' affect.

Question 2

Rejeski et al. (1996) suggest that it is typical for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) to be defined in terms of participants' perceptions of function. They outline six types of HRQoL measures, but which one of the below is NOT one of those measures?

A) Global indices of HRQL
B) Physical symptoms
C) Social function
D) Spiritual function

Spiritual function

Accepted Answer

The six types of HRQoL measures outlined by Rejeski et al. (1996) are: global indices of HRQL, physical symptoms, functional status or perceived function, sociodemographic factors, health perceptions, and satisfaction with care. Spiritual function is not one of the measures outlined by Rejeski et al. (1996).

Question 3

Which measure of HRQoL uses a visual analogue scale ranging from 'worst imaginable health state' (score = 0) to 'best imaginable health state' (score = 100)?&#10;A) EQ-5D.&#10;B) SF-12.&#10;C) SF-36.&#10;D) QALY - 24.

Accepted Answer

The EQ-5D uses a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health). The SF-12 and SF-36 use a different scoring system and the QALY-24 is not a recognized measure of HRQoL.

Question 4

What is defined as &#34;global set of affective (feeling) states we experience on a day-to-day basis and may last hours, days, weeks, or even months&#34;?&#10;A) Affect&#10;B) Emotion&#10;C) Mood&#10;D) Arousal

Accepted Answer

A mood is a global set of affective states that lasts for a significant period of time, ranging from hours to even months. Emotions are more specific and often have a trigger or cause, while arousal refers to the level of physiological activation or energy present in an individual. Affect is a broader term that encompasses both moods and emotions.

Question 5

Evidence suggests that maintenance of physical activity is best predicted by which affective states?&#10;A) Those before exercise&#10;B) Those during exercise&#10;C) Those after exercise&#10;D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Research indicates that the feelings and affective states experienced during physical activity are the most significant predictors of whether an individual will maintain an exercise regimen. Positive feelings during exercise can motivate continued engagement in physical activity.

Question 6

Which of the below is not one of the approaches to enjoyment identified that are relevant to health-related physical activity?&#10;A) Intrinsic motivational processes&#10;B) Csikzentmihalyi's 'flow' model&#10;C) Exercise deprivation model.&#10;D) Exercise-related affective states.

Accepted Answer

The exercise deprivation model is not one of the approaches to enjoyment identified that are relevant to health-related physical activity. The other options are all relevant approaches to enjoyment in physical activity. Intrinsic motivational processes refer to the internal drive and satisfaction one feels from engaging in an activity. Csikzentmihalyi's 'flow' model relates to the experience of being fully immersed in and absorbed by an activity. Exercise-related affective states refer to the emotional experiences that arise from engaging in physical activity, such as pleasure, satisfaction, and enjoyment.

Question 7

Physical activity can be continued during menstruation and may reduce premenstrual symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Physical activity is safe and recommended during menstruation and can help reduce cramps, bloating, and fatigue associated with premenstrual symptoms. However, it is important to listen to your body and adjust the intensity and duration of exercise as needed.
