Olympic-caliber athletes may be able to increase their metabolic rate by
2000%.
Regular physical activity is linked to all of the following EXCEPT
lower endorphin levels.
In addition to pulse counting, one may also monitor exercise intensity by using
ratings of perceived exertion.
___________ supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
Coronary arteries
Fat is utilized as a fuel more efficiently during periods of
prolonged exercise.
The two upper chambers of the heart in which blood collects before passing it to the lower
chambers are called
atria.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is defined as

An appropriate exercise heart rate for an average individual is ________ of maximum heart rate. 75%

Recommended treatment of minor soft tissue injuries such as bruisesincludes all of the following EXCEPT massage. Alveoli serve what function in the lungs? They allow for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. If heat loss exceeds the body's ability to warm itself, ________ can result. hypothermia Systemic circulation carries blood to all organs of the body EXCEPT the lungs. As the result of regular endurance exercise, resting heart rate is often 10–20 beats per minute lower. During the initial phase of an exercise program, a beginner should exercise at the low end of the target heart rate range. The oxidative energy system produces ATP in structures called mitochondria. Appropriate cardiorespiratory endurance exercise includes all of the following EXCEPT push-ups. To obtain a good endurance workout and boost cardiorespiratory fitness during low to moderate intensity activities such as walking or swimming slowly, the heart rate should be kept in the lower end of the target zone for 45 minutes, three times per week. The portion of the circulation controlled by the right side of the heart is the ________ circulation. pulmonary The storage form of carbohydrate in the liver, muscles, and kidney is glycogen. An example of an activity that primarily uses the immediate energy system is weight lifting. Which of the following is NOT a component of the cardiorespiratory system? the brain Which of the following requires immediate medical attention? heat stroke A typical resting heart rate for a normal individual is around 60bpm.
