Exercise Sciences

H. Apply Knowledge of Physiological Adaptations to Exercise and Training

1. Adaptations to aerobic exercise and training
2. Adaptations to anaerobic exericse and training.
3. Causes, signs, symptoms and effects of overtraining and detrainin.

When answering the questions, please choose the “Best” answer.

1. Which of the following occurs as result of heavy resistance training?

 Decreased Mitochondrial Density

 Decreased Stored Glycogen

 Decreased Anaerobic Power

 Decreased Stored ATP

Mitochondrial density decreases following heavy resistance training

2. All of the following would be expected adaptations to aerobic exercise training, EXCEPT?

 Increased ligament strength

 Increased blood lactate concentrations

 Increased capillary density

 Increased stored glycogen

Aerobic endurance training results in lower blood lactate concentrations

3. Which of the following is likely to occur with overtraining in a college cross country runner?

 Increased lactate concentrations

 Decreased percentage of body fat

 Decreased creatine kinase

 Increased muscle glycogen
