61. After a bout of prolonged exercise, many endurance athletes feel as if they have “hit the wall.” This muscle fatigue is MOST STRONGLY associated with:
  1. Dehydration
  2. Depletion of the body’s glycogen reserves
  3. Electrolyte imbalance
  4. Muscle breakdown
62. It is possible for blood sugar to drop significantly during a 60 minute class; this effect is particularly noticeable in higher-intensity classes, such as spinning. This drop in glucose happens - in part - because of the effect of exercise on insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas. What happens to insulin secretion during exercise?
  1. Insulin secretion does not change during exercise
  2. Insulin secretion is suppressed during exercise
  3. Insulin secretion increases during exercise
  4. Insulin secretion ceases completely during exercise
63. The human body adapts to exercising in the heat by increasing plasma volume, decreasing core temperature, decreasing heart rate, and increasing the rate of sweating. How soon do these changes occur?
  1. 1-2 days
  2. 3-4 days
  3. 5-7 days
  4. 9-14 days
64. Group Fitness Instructors who suggest use of closed chain exercises during their sessions are taking advantage of WHICH exercise principle?
  1. Co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscle groups produces compression of the joint
  2. Co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscle groups produces shear of the joint
  3. Isolated contraction of a single muscle group produces compression of the joint
  4. Isolated contraction of a single muscle group produces shear of the joint
65. The Group Fitness Instructor is responsible for providing the most effective workout in the shortest time. Which three triceps exercises have been shown to elicit the GREATEST muscle activity?
  1. The triangle pushup, dip and triceps kickback
  2. The traditional pushup, dip and lying barbell triceps extension
  3. The triangle pushup, closed-grip bench press and bar push-down
  4. The traditional pushup, bar push-down and rope push-down
