Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness. (Practice) 1. Describe how a multistage fitness test works and what it is intended to do...: The multistage fitness test is intended to measure a participant's maximum ivy hen intake, or VO2 max. The test is similar to a shuttle run. The participant runs between two blocks that are 20 meters apart. They must complete each length before a pre recorded beep sounds. As the test continues, the beep increase in frequency. The test ends when the participant fails to complete a segment before the beep sounds of if they complete all the runs. Participants then compare their completed level to a chart to find their maximum oxygen intake. 2. Why do makes tend to have better cardiorespiratory fitness than females?: Males tend to have higher levels of hemoglobin in their blood. 3. The respiratory system should remove which of the following from your body?: Carbon dioxide. 4. Explain how the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together to deliver oxygen to the body...: The respiratory system inhales oxygen through the nose and mouth and collects it in the lungs. The oxygen is absorbed into the blood, which then travels throughout the body through arteries. The blood delivers oxygen to every part of the body. Once the oxygen has been delivered, that deoxygenated blood then travels back to the lungs through the veins. The deoxygenated blood drops off carbon dioxide in the lungs, which is then expelled through exhalation. 5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the method of calculating maximum oxygen intake?: What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods of calculating maximum oxygen intake? 6. Describe the factors that influence the level of cardiorespiratory fitness a person is able to achieve...: The factors that influence cardiorespiratory fitness are age, gender, genetics, body composition, and a person's level of conditioning. 7. Cardiorespiratory fitness can only be measure through exercise...: False. 8. Doctors can directly measure a person's maximum oxygen intake by measuring their oxygen intake while they...: Run on a treadmill, which increases speed. 9. Body composition has little to do with cardiorespiratory fitness...: False. 10. Aerobic exercise forces the body to provide extra oxygen to the muscles...: True. 1/1
