Answer

A. Outcome Goal

Answer

C. Process Goal

Answer

D. Subjective Goal

Question 8

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

False

Question 9

Answer

A. Developing a detailed training plan to address weaknesses

Answer

B. Distancing oneself from the stressful situation

Answer

C. Seeking advice from a sports psychologist on performance strategies

Answer

D. Using relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety

Question 10

An athlete's perceived competence, $C$, and relatedness, $R$, are related to their intrinsic motivation, $M$, by the equation $M = 2C + 3R - 0.5CR$. If an athlete's perceived competence is rated as 7 and their relatedness is rated as 6, calculate their intrinsic motivation score.

Accepted Answer

26

Question 11

An athlete weighing 80 kg sustains a hamstring injury. During the initial RICE protocol, they apply ice for 20 minutes every 2 hours. If the metabolic rate of the injured tissue is reduced by 15% due to the ice application, and the initial metabolic rate is 500 J/min, calculate the total reduction in energy expenditure (in Joules) over a 24-hour period due to the ice application.

Accepted Answer

108000 J

Question 12

An athlete's ventilation rate ($V_E$) is determined by the product of their tidal volume ($V_T$) and respiratory rate ($f$). If an athlete has a tidal volume of 0.6 L and a respiratory rate of 12 breaths/min at rest, and during exercise their tidal volume increases to 1.8 L and their ventilation rate increases to 54 L/min, what is their respiratory rate during exercise?

Accepted Answer

C. 30 breaths/min

Answer

A. 15 breaths/min

Answer

B. 24 breaths/min

Answer

D. 42 breaths/min

Question 13

An athlete with a VO2 max of 60 ml/kg/min will always outperform an athlete with a VO2 max of 55 ml/kg/min in all endurance events, regardless of other physiological and biomechanical factors.

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

False

Question 14

Which of the following dietary strategies can help an endurance athlete maximize glycogen stores before a competition?

Answer

A. Consuming a high-carbohydrate diet in the days leading up to the event.

Answer

B. Consuming a high-fat diet to spare glycogen.

Answer

C. Implementing a carbohydrate-loading protocol.

Answer

D. Ensuring adequate hydration to facilitate glycogen storage.

Answer

E. Restricting carbohydrate intake to promote fat adaptation.

Question 15

An athlete consumes 3000 kcal per day with a macronutrient breakdown of 50% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 30% fat. Calculate the grams of each macronutrient consumed per day. (Note: 1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 kcal, 1 gram of protein = 4 kcal, 1 gram of fat = 9 kcal)

Accepted Answer

Carbohydrates: 375 g, Protein: 150 g, Fat: 100 g
