1. What does cardiorespiratory endurance describe?

  1. Moving the joints through their full range
  2. Supplying oxygen to muscles during sustained effort
  3. Producing maximal force in a single lift
Show the answer

Answer: Supplying oxygen to muscles during sustained effort

It reflects how well the heart, lungs and blood vessels deliver oxygen to working muscles during prolonged activity.

2. Which laboratory measure is the reference standard for cardiorespiratory fitness?

  1. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
  2. Resting blood pressure
  3. Maximal heart rate
Show the answer

Answer: Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)

VO2max, measured with gas analysis during a test to exhaustion, is the highest rate at which the body can take up and use oxygen.

3. VO2max is usually expressed in milliliters per kilogram per minute. What follows from this?

  1. Losing body fat can raise it without training
  2. It cannot change after age 25
  3. Taller people always score higher
Show the answer

Answer: Losing body fat can raise it without training

Because the value is divided by body mass, the same oxygen uptake spread over fewer kilograms gives a higher relative score.
