MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

What is functional reserve?

The ability to perform daily tasks without fatigue

The maximum strength/power a person can generate

The minimum force necessary to accomplish a task

The endurance level of a person

Answer explanation

Functional reserve refers to the maximum strength or power a person can generate, which is crucial for performing high-intensity tasks. This distinguishes it from endurance or daily task performance.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What primarily accounts for initial strength gains during resistance training?

Increase in muscle mass

Improved cardiovascular efficiency

Neural adaptations

Enhanced flexibility

Answer explanation

Initial strength gains during resistance training are primarily due to neural adaptations. These adaptations improve the efficiency of muscle recruitment and coordination, allowing for greater force production without significant increases in muscle mass.

3.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which of the following is NOT a neural adaptation to resistance training?

Increased number of motor units recruited

Increased firing rate of motor units

Increased motor unit synchronization

Decreased muscle fiber size

Answer explanation

Decreased muscle fiber size is NOT a neural adaptation; rather, resistance training typically leads to increased muscle fiber size (hypertrophy). The other options reflect neural adaptations that enhance strength.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

How does resistance training affect skeletal muscle mass?

Through increased flexibility and endurance

By improving cardiovascular health

Via hyperplasia and hypertrophy

By reducing fat tissue

Answer explanation

Resistance training increases skeletal muscle mass primarily through hypertrophy, which is the enlargement of existing muscle fibers, and hyperplasia, the formation of new muscle fibers.

5.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

What is hyperplasia?

The addition of new myofibers (muscle cells).

The growth of existing myofibers.

The increase in muscle proteins.

The increase in cross-bridges.

Answer explanation

Hyperplasia refers to the addition of new myofibers (muscle cells), which increases muscle mass. This is distinct from hypertrophy, which is the growth of existing myofibers.

6.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

What is the primary factor that skeletal muscle hypertrophy depends on?

The amount of actin and myosin.

The number of mitochondria.

The level of calcium ions.

The presence of lactic acid.

Answer explanation

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy primarily depends on the amount of actin and myosin, as these proteins are essential for muscle contraction and growth. Increased synthesis of these proteins leads to muscle fiber enlargement.

7.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Which of the following is NOT a signaling event that leads to increases in muscle protein synthesis?

Increased mRNA.

Activation of mTOR.

Increase in ribosomes.

Decrease in ATP.

Answer explanation

Decrease in ATP is NOT a signaling event that promotes muscle protein synthesis. In fact, low ATP levels can hinder energy availability, negatively impacting protein synthesis, unlike increased mRNA, mTOR activation, and ribosome increase.
