The Pop Quiz below contains 3 questions from the following knowledge area of the CSCS exam. Failure to correctly answer questions may suggest an area that needs further review.

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

 Increased capillary density

 Increased stored glycogen

 Increased blood lactate concentrations

 Increased ligament strength

Aerobic endurance training results in lower blood lactate concentrations

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

 Decreased Anaerobic Power

 Decreased Stored ATP

 Decreased Mitochondrial Density

 Decreased Stored Glycogen

Mitochondrial density decreases following heavy resistance training

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

 Decreased creatine kinase

 Decreased percentage of body fat

 Increased muscle glycogen

 Increased lactate concentrations

Decreased percentage body fat is a marker for overtraining syndrome in aerobic endurance athletes
