- A. Concentric
- B. Isokinetic
- C. Isometric
- D. Eccentric
Explanation: An eccentric contraction occurs when a muscle produces force while lengthening, such as the quadriceps while lowering the body in a squat.
Correct answer: Eccentric- A. Concentric contraction
- B. Eccentric
- C. Isometric contraction
- D. All above
Explanation: A concentric contraction occurs when a muscle shortens while producing force, such as the biceps lifting a weight.
Correct answer: Concentric contraction- A. 15%
- B. 21%
- C. 12%
- D. 16%
Explanation: Expired air contains approximately 16% oxygen because some oxygen has been absorbed by the blood and used by body cells.
Correct answer: 16%- A. 2
- B. 26
- C. 30-32
- D. 95
Explanation: Aerobic metabolism of one glucose molecule uses six oxygen molecules and produces approximately 30 to 32 ATP molecules in modern…
Correct answer: 30-32- A. Lactic acid
- B. Adrenal
- C. Carbon Di Oxide
- D. pH-Factors
Explanation: In traditional physical-education terminology, fatigue during intense training is associated with lactic-acid accumulation from anaerobic…
Correct answer: Lactic acid- A. 2
- B. 3
- C. 6
- D. 9
Explanation: Human joints are commonly grouped into three structural types: fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial.
Correct answer: 3- A. Carbohydrate
- B. Protein
- C. Fat
- D. All of the above
Explanation: During light, aerobic activity, the body relies proportionally more on fat oxidation because the exercise intensity allows sufficient…
Correct answer: Fat- A. Genetics
- B. Age
- C. Gender
- D. Exercise
Explanation: Exercise can raise metabolic rate substantially, both during activity and temporarily afterward through increased oxygen use and recovery…

- C. Growth of bone and muscle
- D. The formation of hormones and enzymes
Explanation: Metabolism includes all chemical reactions that build and break down substances in the body, including energy production, synthesis of…
Correct answer: All of the aboveEnroll In Courses- A. 120
- B. 147
- C. 168
- D. 180
Explanation: Using the stated formula, 208 − (0.7 × 40) = 208 − 28 = 180 beats per minute.
Correct answer: 180- A. Cytoplasm.
- B. Nucleus
- C. Ribosomes.
- D. Mitochondria.
Explanation: Mitochondria produce most of a muscle cell’s ATP through aerobic cellular respiration, so they are often called the cell’s…
Correct answer: Mitochondria.- A. Lactate
- B. Nitrogen
- C. Glycogen
- D. corban
Explanation: When oxygen is limited, glycolysis converts glucose to pyruvate and the pyruvate is reduced to lactate, allowing limited ATP production to…
Correct answer: Lactate- A. Aerobic
- B. ADP
- C. Anaerobic
- D. ATP
Explanation: Anaerobic exercise produces energy without requiring oxygen for the immediate energy pathway, making it suitable for short, high-intensity…

Explanation: The lumbar region contains five vertebrae, numbered L1 to L5. The seven vertebrae belong to the cervical region of the neck, not the lower…
Correct answer: 5 vertebrae- A. Ribs
- B. Hinge joint
- C. Sternum
- D. Clavicle
Explanation: The collar bones are the clavicles, which connect the breastbone to the shoulder blades and help support shoulder movement.
Correct answer: Clavicle- A. Synovial joint
- B. Upper joint
- C. Pivot joint
- D. All of these
Explanation: The knee is a synovial joint, specifically a modified hinge joint that permits mainly flexion and extension.
Correct answer: Synovial joint- A. Triceps
- B. Quadriceps
- C. Biceps
- D. None of there
Explanation: Hip flexion is mainly performed by the iliopsoas, but the rectus femoris, one part of the quadriceps, also assists in bending the hip.
