Question

1) How does hydration impact competitive success in sports and training? Select one:

a. A hydrated person can maintain a higher core temperature and benefit from warmed up muscles.

b. A dehydrated person weighs less and is therefore more likely to run faster.

c. Proper hydration helps maintain an adequate blood volume and cardiac output during exercise.

2) Which one of the following supplements have sufficient scientific evidence to support their safe/effective use when consumed correctly in conjunction with proper training? Select one:

a. Creatine Monohydrate

b. Ephedrine/Ephedra

c. A proprietary blend of caffeine, acetyl-L carnitine, and conjugated linoleic acid for fat burning

d. Cleanse juices/drinks

3)Which statement best describes the principle of progressive overload? Select one:

a. To optimize training adaptations, weightlifters should start with a light load on their first set and progress to a heavier load on their second and third sets of an exercise.

b. To optimize training adaptations, beginners should start with the highest exercise intensity possible and increase intensity each week until they experience the adaptations they want.

c. To optimize training adaptations, exercise mode should be changed frequently while maintaining similar training intensities.

d. To optimize training adaptations, training load (a combination of intensity, duration, frequency, and mode) should be gradually increased to cause adequate stress to physiological systems.

4)

Which type of muscle contraction has been shown to be particularly effective at building strength because heavier loads can be used?

Select one:

a. Concentric contraction

b. Overloaded contraction

c. Isometric contraction

d. Eccentric contraction
