• Acute and Chronic Responses

An example of an acute response to exercise might be

*a. a change in heart ra te from 62 bpm at rest to 155 bpm during a 220 yd run

• a change in resting heart rate from 72 bpm to 60

bpm

• a change in aerobic capacity 3 / 4

• a change in resting respiratory rate from 14 to 8

breaths per minute

• Exercise and Sport Physiology 2

Homeostasis is best defined as

• a low metabolic rate
• a change within the internal environment

*c. organ systems, tissues, cells, and molecules working to regulate internal environment

• a normal external environment

• Research

Most people achieve their highest aerobic capacity when tested with the use of

• a cycle ergometer

*b. a treadmill

• an arm ergometer
• the 1 mi run field test

• Research 2

Which of the following statements is true when comparing the use of treadmills a nd cycle ergometers for exercise testing?

• Most individuals achieve higher peak values for

physiological variables such as heart rate and oxygen consumption via cycle ergometry rather than via treadmill testing.

• Accurate blood pressure measurements are easier to

obtain during treadmill testing.*c. Cycle ergometers are better for assessing aerobic capacity in trained cyclists.

• Treadmills are relatively inexpensive and are more

portable than cycle ergometers.

• Research 3

Which of the following is considered the most appropriate device for evaluating changes in submaximal physiological function before and after training in people whose body weight has changed?
