Chapter 11 Quiz: Exercise Physiology

Test your understanding of how the body responds and adapts to exercise.

This quiz covers:

  • Energy systems (ATP-PCr, anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic oxidation)
  • VO2max and aerobic capacity
  • Anaerobic and aerobic thresholds
  • Lactate production and clearance
  • Substrate utilization (carbs vs. fats)
  • Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER)
  • Cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations to training
  • The Fick equation and Cori Cycle
