Question 3

Michelle's weekly exercise program includes stair stepping,static stretching,cycling,and push-ups.Which of these activities is generally classified as a flexibility exercise?

Static stretching is generally classified as a flexibility exercise as it helps to improve flexibility and range of motion in the muscles and joints. Stair stepping, cycling, and push-ups are more focused on cardiovascular and muscular endurance, respectively.

Question 4

Which of the following activities is generally classified as aerobic?

Accepted Answer

Running is generally classified as aerobic because it involves sustained, rhythmic movement that increases heart rate and oxygen consumption for an extended period of time.

Accepted Answer

Cycling is generally classified as an aerobic activity because it involves continuous, rhythmic movements of large muscle groups that increase heart rate and breathing rate, therefore improving cardiovascular and respiratory endurance. Stretching, gardening, and playing golf are not considered highly aerobic activities because they do not typically involve sustained periods of elevated heart rate and oxygen consumption.

Question 11

People who exercise regularly can reduce their risk of

Accepted Answer

Regular exercise has been shown to increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. It does not have a significant impact on the risk of hemosiderosis, megaloblastic anemia, or iron deficiency.

Question 17

Monroe is a healthy 55-year-old man.According to recommendations of the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,he should perform _____ minutes of moderately intense physical activity each week.

Accepted Answer

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, adults should perform at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week. Since Monroe is a healthy 55-year-old man, he falls under the category of adults and should perform at least 150 minutes of moderately intense physical activity each week. Therefore, the best choice is A.

Question 18

Including exercise in your daily routine can reduce your risk of

Accepted Answer

Exercise has been shown to decrease the risk of certain cancers, including breast, colon, and lung cancer. Osteoarthritis and inflammatory bowel disease can also benefit from exercise, but they are not the only conditions that exercise can reduce the risk of. Crickets are not a health condition, so option C is irrelevant.

Question 19

Gloria is a healthy 25-year-old woman.According to recommendations of the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,she should perform _____ strengthening activities that focus on major muscle groups each week.

Accepted Answer

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, adults should perform muscle-strengthening activities that involve all major muscle groups at least two days per week. The recommended number of repetitions and sets vary based on the type of activity and the individual's fitness goals. However, the range of sets and repetitions recommended for improving muscular endurance is typically 2-4 sets of 12-20 repetitions per exercise. Therefore, the best choice for Gloria would be to perform eight to ten strengthening activities that focus on major muscle groups each week.

Question 20

Matthew is a healthy 35-year-old man.According to recommendations of the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,he should perform _____ minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity each week.
