Exercise Testing and Prescription Exam 2

What is the criterion measure or gold standard of cardiorespiratory fitness?

• time to complete a 1-mile run

• heart rate at the conclusion of a 3-minute step test

• directly measured maximal oxygen uptake VO2 Max

• number of 12-inch steps that can be completed in 3 minutes

When comparing cardiorespiratory fitness levels of individuals differing in body size, it is best to look at the relative VO2 Max values rather than the absolute VO2 Max values.

• True

• False

Which of the following would be an indication to terminate a graded exercise test before the client reaches the predetermined end point?

• failure of diastolic blood pressure to increase with increasing workload

• failure of heart rate to increase with increasing workload

• client has a red face

• none; always go to the predetermined end point regardless of what is taking place

Which of the following is not an indication to terminate a graded exercise test before the client reaches the predetermined endpoint?

• rise in systolic blood pressure with each stage

• angina

• symptoms of poor perfusion

• failure of equipment

An individual with excellent cardiorespiratory fitness should have a higher heart rate at a given submaximal workload compared to an individual with poor cardiorespiratory fitness.

• True

• False

What distance do the most widely used field tests to estimate VO2 Max that involve running or walking cover?

• 400 Meters

• 800 Meters

• 1 mile to 1.5 Miles

• 5 KM

Which of the following tests was developed to estimate the aerobic capacity of children and therefore would be most appropriate and likely most accurate for estimating the of a 12-year-old?

• Queens College step test

• 6-minute walking test

• YMCA submaximal cycle ergometer test

• multistage 20-meter shuttle run

Static stretching is the preferred style of warm-up before engaging in aerobic exercise.

• True

• False

In FITT-VP, the "I" represents

• Incidence

• Inclusive

• Intensity

• Increase

An activity of 3-6 METS would be classified as

• Vigorous Intensity

• Resting

• Light Intensity

• Moderate Intensity
