Following a 12-week
anaerobic based training program, what is the expected lactate response to a
graded maximal exercise test?

Referral to another professional

is not necessary. The exercise scientist can prescribe a program.

The male client

The female client

Leftward shift tin the lactate curve compared to the pre-test.

Blood lactate stays the same

An exponential rise in lactate

response immediately after starting exercise.

Rightward shift in the lactate curve compared to the pre-test.

What is the most
suitable marker for assessing your participant's aerobic capacity?

You have a trained

runner asking you to test their cardiovascular fitness. You have identified no

risk factors. They are experienced at running marathons, but they now want to run

a 100km trail run.

Submaximal VO2max

Anaerobic Threshold

You have a triathlete

who has come to you for a VO2max test. Identify the suitable ergometer/s to use

when testing this triathlete.

You are using gas
analysis during a VO2max test. Your VO2 graph initially shows an upward trend from the warmup. The client reports an RPE of 2 out of 10, and their complexion is maintained. The client’s coordination is still strong, and there is no sign of adverse medical events. However, as you increase the exercise intensity to the next
stage, the graph suddenly trends downward. What would be the likely cause of
this downward trend?

The client is having a medical event. The test should be terminated immediately.

As exercise intensity increases, oxygen consumption decreases to sustain the metabolic load and continue working at the same intensity.

Air is leaking through the ears

Air is leaking through the mouthpiece, mask, metabolic cart umbilical cord, nose clip or pneumotach.

You have a 47-year-old
male client who has an extensive history of surfing. You have conducted a
VO2max test on a bike to assess your client’s VO2max. The highest value the
metabolic cart reads from the test is 56ml/kg/min. From the results, you find
it is difficult to find a plateau in the VO2 reading at the end of the test.
However, the client has reported a RPE of 10 (out of 10), RER of 1.2 and a
blood lactate of 18.3 mmol/L. Based on the information provided, what is the
56ml/kg/min likely to represent?

Anaerobic Threshold

Vo2max

A fraction of the Anaerobic Threshold

VO2peak only

Two athletes are competing
in a marathon event. Athlete #1 can sustain exercise at 68% of their VO2max
which relates to 17km/h. Athlete #2 can sustain exercise at 70% of their VO2max
which relates to 16.5 km/h. Which athlete is expected to come first?

Athlete #1

Athlete #2

Your client has completed

a discontinuous maximal exercise test on a bike. You graph the data and find a

spike in the blood lactate curve after completing a 3 minutes stage at 14km/h.

What is this artifact related to?

VO2max

Anaerobic Threshold

Aerobic Threshold

Human error in sampling blood lactate

For this question, you must use the ACSM normative values for VO2max. If a 19-year-old female client came to you and said, they have a relative VO2 max of 60ml/kg/min. Would you consider this client to be trained?

Yes

Where does VO2max occur based on the graph?
