2. The breaking down of body compounds is known as what?
3. True or False: Amino acids becoming protein is an anabolic reaction.
4. What is the sugar that helps make up ATP?

5. From which B vitamin is CoA, or coenzyme A, derived?
6. What are the features/characteristics of aerobic metabolism?
7. For short, intense exercise, which energy-producing pathway does the body rely on most?
8. Anaerobic means                    .
9. When a person performing intense physical exercise begins to feel fatigue and a burning pain in the

muscles, the muscles respond by synthesizing more of what substance? (Lactate vs. glucose vs. fatty acids?)

10. True or False: Low carbohydrate diets induce ketosis
11. An individual is described as                     when they have the endurance to engage in daily activities, as

well enough reserve energy to handle added challenges.

12. A minimum of                minutes at a time of aerobic physical activity is recommended per activity session.

13.                     refers to an increase to the size and strength of muscles in response to use.
14. True or False: Putting a demand on muscles repeatedly by making them work harder is the most

effective, safe way for athletes to add muscle tissue.

15. According to ACSM guidelines, resistance or strength exercise should be incorporated on                  per

week.

16. An athlete getting ready to compete in the 100-meter dash will rely primarily on what substance for

quick energy in this event? (Fats vs. lactate vs. creatine phosphate?)

17. The body’s primary source of glucose during physical activity is                   .
18. True or False: With regards to the energy systems and fuels used by the body, all energy systems are

used at all times, but one system which dominates depending on intensity and conditioning of athlete.

19. What type of diet does research suggest can provide endurance athletes with ability to go longer without fatigue?

20.                     are the dietary nutrients most effective at raising muscle glycogen concentrations.

21. Activities lasting longer than 20 minutes will gradually start using more                     for fuel and less

                   .

22. True or False: Consuming a sports beverage to obtain carbohydrates is recommended during exhausting

endurance activities lasting more than 1 hour.

23. The phenomenon known as “hitting the wall” occurs in athletes when                  is depleted.

24. It’s recommended that an athlete consume                   of calories from fat. (What percentage?)
