A-Level PE Reduced Assessment

Which Energy system is most closely related to anaerobic capacity?

• ATP-PC

• Lactic Acid

• Aerobic

• All 3

Which muscle fibre type will have the highest store of glycogen and why?

• Type 1 because they rely on glycolysis the most

• Type 2x because they respire aerobically

• Type 2x because they require quick energy and do not have a good blood supply

• Type 2a because they need to use aerobic and anaerobic sources of energy.

Which of the following is not a neuromuscular adaptation?

• Increase speed of nervous transmission

• Increased coordination of nervous transmission

• Increased blood supply to nervous transmission

• Increased myelination of the axon

Which of the following is not a cardiovascular response?

• Increased A-VO2 Difference

• Bradycardia

• Increased Heart Rate

• Increased Stroke Volume

Which of the following is not a respiratory adaptation?

• Increased Vital Capacity

• Increased strength of intercostal muscles

• Increased tidal volume

• Vacularisation of the alveoli

Which of the following is not an adaptation of the type 2x muscle fibres?

• Increased PC and glycogen stores

• Hypertrophy

• Increased strength

• Increased mitochondria

Which abbreviation accurately depicts the cardiac cycle?

• AD, VD, AS, VS

• AD, VS, VD, AS

What is end systolic volume?

• Volume of blood left in the atria after contraction

• Volume of blood left in the ventricle after contraction

• Volume of blood in the ventricle immediately prior to contraction

• Volume of blood left in the atria during relaxation

Which of the following is not a slow component of recovery
