Term
True or False : Physiologists of Physical Activity are concerned with the link between exercise and he systems of the human body? (i.e. reproductive, immune, CV, etc.)
Definition
TRUE
Term
True or False : Physiologists of Physical Activity are not concerned with the prevention of disease and treatment through physical activity.
Definition
FALSE.

However they are called Clinic Exercise Physiologists.
Term
What are the two different places of research?
Definition
In Lab
Field Work
Term
Which is more difficult between 'In Lab' or 'Field Work' and why?
Definition
Field work because it is harder to document and accurately measure the environment as well as the effectiveness of the testing.
Term

Fast Twitch (FT) - anaerobic energy system = Fast Glycolytic
FT - aerobic energy system = Fast Oxidative Glycolytic
Slow Twitch - ATP energy system
Term
Order the three energy systems from which are used up first to last.

What are the three different techniques to improving muscle strength?
Definition
Isometric, Isotonic, and Isokinetic
Term
How does aging have an effect on the ability to do physical activity?
Definition
There is a decrease in the maximal oxygen uptake by 10% a year, 5% if you're physically active, but eventually this disables people from being active constantly.
