Question 21 Where does the body store carbohydrates that cannot be readily used?
Correct
Select one:
1 points out of 1
Liver and skeleton
Flag question
Skeleton and blood
Subcutaneous fat and muscles
Liver and muscles
Your answer is correct.
Rationale: Carbohydrates that cannot be immediately used is stored as glycogen in the
liver and muscles where they can be readily broken down and used during exercise
Question 22 Which of the following activities would be fueled by ATP and the phosphagen system?
Correct
Select one:
1 points out of 1
Marathon
Flag question
5-mile bike ride
100-meter sprint
400-meter sprint
Your answer is correct.
Rationale: Energy from stored ATP and stored creatine phosphate is enough to fuel about
5 to 10 seconds of an intense athletic effort.
Question 23 Which of the following might be a concern for an endurance athlete who has been
Correct diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia?
1 points out of 1
Select one:
Flag question Decreased flexibility
Decreased oxygen-carrying capability
Decreased mitochondria
Decreased immunity
Your answer is correct.
Rationale: Because iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, athletes with iron-
deficiency anemia will suffer from reduced oxygen-carrying capacity and thus decreased
endurance performance.
Question 24 Athletes who fail to consume enough carbohydrates to ensure a continual glucose supply
Correct may find that they begin to suffer from muscle atrophy.
1 points out of 1
Select one:
Flag question True
False
Your answer is correct.
Rationale: While protein can be used for energy or to produce glucose, this situation is
not ideal as the majority of the amino acids come from the breakdown of muscle. To avoid
muscle wasting, athletes need to ensure adequate carbohydrate intake to fuel exercise
and assure a continual glucose energy supply.
Question 25 Under which of the following conditions could an athlete expect performance to begin to
Incorrect suffer if no additional glucose is ingested?
0 points out of 1
Select one:
Flag question After 5 to 6 hours of continuous low-intensity (50% to 60% VO2 Max) when
blood glucose levels dwindle
After 1 to 3 hours of continuous moderate-intensity exercise (60% to 85% VO2
max) when glycogen becomes depleted
After 30 minutes of continuous high-intensity (70% to 90% VO2 Max) when
glycogen becomes depleted
After 1 hour of moderate-intensity exercise (60% to 85% VO2 Max) when
blood glucose levels dwindle
Your answer is incorrect.
Question 26 According to a review of the literature conducted by the American Dietetic Association
Incorrect and the American College of Sports Medicine, what is the consensus of the research
regarding carbohydrate loading?
0 points out of 1
Flag question Select one:
Research indicates that carbohydrate loading is effective in women but not
men.
Research is inconclusive.
Research indicates that carbohydrate loading is no more effective than eating
a well-balanced diet.
Research indicates that carbohydrate loading is very effective for endurance
athletes.
Your answer is incorrect.
Question 27 You are traveling with a college men’s soccer team. The team will be playing their
Incorrect conference rival at 7:00 p.m. What time should the coach feed the players their pre-event
snack?
0 points out of 1
Flag question Select one:
Approximately 6:00 p.m. to top-off glycogen stores
Approximately 5:00 p.m. to maximize glucose availability
10:00 a.m. to minimize gastrointestinal upset
Approximately 3:00 p.m. to allow for maximum digestion and absorption
Your answer is incorrect.
Question 28 What are the ADA recommendations for post-exercise carbohydrate consumption?
Correct
Select one:
1 points out of 1
1.5g CHO/kg within 30 minutes and then every 2 hours for 4 to 6 hours
Flag question
3.0g CHO/kg within 1 hour and then every hour for 4 to 6 hours
1.5g CHO/kg every 2 hours for 12 hours
3.0g CHO/kg every 6 hours for 24 hours
Your answer is correct.
Rationale: The ADA recommends a carbohydrate intake of 1.5g/kg of body weight in the
first 30 minutes after exercise and then every 2 hours for 4 to 6 hours. After that, the
athlete can resume his typical, balanced diet.
Question 29 When the ambient air temperature exceeds that of body temperature, which type of heat
Correct transfer ability is lost?
1 points out of 1
Select one:
Flag question Convection
Conversion
Evaporation
Radiation
Your answer is correct.
Rationale: If the outside temperature exceeds body temperature, radiation no longer is an
effective mode of heat loss.
Question 30 Which of the following persons is more likely to suffer from hyponatremia?
Correct
Select one:
1 points out of 1
70-year-old male
Flag question
17-year-old female
10-year-old male
30-year-old female
Your answer is correct.
Rationale: Older adults (age older than 65 years) are more likely to become dehydrated
because the ability to use thirst to guide fluid intake diminishes with age. Older adults are
also less likely to know when and how much to drink during exercise. Be aware that
excess fluid intake is more likely to lead to hyponatremia in this population because they
are also slower to excrete fluids.
