Zone 2 Training Quiz

What is the primary benefit of zone 2 training?

• Improvement in resting heart rate and blood pressure

• Increase in fast-twitch muscle fibers

• Development of new capillaries

• Enhancement of anaerobic glycolysis

Which type of muscle fibers are fatigue resistant and utilize oxygen?

• Endurance fibers

• Fast-twitch fibers

• Anaerobic fibers

• Slow-twitch fibers

What is the metabolic byproduct from anaerobic glycolysis?

• Capillaries

• ATP

• Lactate

• Glucose

How does the body replenish ATP after heavy-intensity exercises?

• By increasing lactic acid production

• By reducing mitochondrial size

• By relying on anaerobic pathways

• By breathing in oxygen aerobically

How does the body deal with lactate at the local level?

• Enhancing fast-twitch muscle fibers

• Reducing blood glucose levels

• Increasing heart rate

• Improving size and quality of mitochondria

What is the least expensive way to determine your zone 2 training intensity?

• Using a lactate meter

• Doing a talk test

• Measuring blood lactate level

• Calculating maximum heartbeat

At what percentage of your true maximum heartbeat does zone 2 training occur?

• 80-90%

• 70-80%

• It varies!

• 50-60%

How often should beginners do zone 2 training in a week?

• 3-4 hours per week

• 1-2 hours per week

• 7-8 hours per week

• 5-6 hours per week

What other type of training should be incorporated with zone 2 training?

• Plyometric training

• Other training methods as long as it is in a healthy way.

• Strength training

• High-intensity interval training

For which metabolic dysfunction would zone 2 training be beneficial?

• Type one diabetes

• Type two diabetes

• Hypertension

• Obesity
