Take my quiz

SHBoss1673

I made a quiz that should test your level of nutrition and health knowledge. See how you do on it. There are 12 questions, post your answers here and I'll grade them as I can. I won't show the answers but if you want to know what you got wrong, you can PM me and I'll send you them.

Please don't cheat, that's kinda useless. If you don't know the answer be honest about it.

Here's the quiz:





1) Which organ typically burns the most energy per day in an average adult?
a. Heart
b. Liver
c. Brain
d. Lungs

2) Which exercise type is characterized by working past the threshold for sustainable oxygen consumption?
a. Isometric exercise
b. Aerobic exercise
c. Anaerobic exercise
d. Plyometric exercise

3) Doing core exercises (abdominal exercises) is vital for reducing belly fat.
a. True
b. False

4) What is the name for the metabolic state in the body characterized by a calorie deficit and an increase in the burning of lean tissue mass?
a. Anabolism
b. Homeostasis
c. Hyperplasia
d. Catabolism

5) This Micronutrient is responsible for muscle contraction, nerve transmission and bone formation. It is also used when PH levels become overly acidic.
a. Iodine
b. Calcium
c. Potassium
d. Phosphorous

6) The best single measurement to use when calculating whether someone is at a healthy weight for their age, sex, and height is?
a. Body Mass Index (BMI)
b. Body Fat Percent
c. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
d. Waist to Hip Ratio
e.
7) To avoid an exercise related plateau, you should change your exercise times every:
a. 6 to 8 weeks
b. 2 to 3 weeks
c. 10 to 12 weeks
d. About every 4 to 6 months

8) A ketogenic diet is a diet where:
a. The percentage of macronutrients from carbohydrates is raised and fat is lowered significantly
b. The percentage of macronutrients from fats and proteins is raised and carbohydrates are lowered significantly.
c. The food eaten is lower than the amount needed for maintaining weight, and water intake is increased.
d. The diet is a natural diet consisting of foods only found in nature, and little or no processing is allowed.

5-8) Place the letter of the definition that corresponds to the correct hormone.
9) Insulin
10) Testosterone
11) Cortisol
12) Growth Hormone (GH)

a) This hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. During sleep it stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle cells.
b) This hormone is secreted by the pancreas in response to high levels of blood glucose. It promotes glucose uptake in cells and decreases catabolism.
c) This hormone is produced in the Kidney in response to stress. It preserves blood glucose and stimulates protein and fat breakdown.
d) This hormone is primarily responsible for building lean tissue in the body and is produced in the testes and also in the adrenal glands of both men and women.

One small correction, which doesn't really affect the questions much as the meaning doesn't change, but in the question about exercise times it should say

"To avoid an exercise plateau, you should change your exercise TYPES every:"

I put times instead of types, but it's a minor change, I don't think it changes the question's meaning. If it does and you think you would have gotten it right if I wrote it correctly, feel free to give yourself a point.

PJ 9 out of 12, you ALSO got the one right that everyone was getting wrong at first. Funny. Did you two talk to each other or something?

PJilly

Nope, I was guessing (educated guesses, I hope) on 'em all. I wouldn't mind having a PM of the correct answers so I'm even more educated. :bigsmile:

I'd love to answer now and started to but since I'm studying for a mid-term tonight between work coming in at the office I'll just TTT this for later when I can really think about it. Thanks!

Spritie, what would you have said if money or time was not an issue?

spritie

B is probably more accurate, as fat storage sites are not likely to change the results. I was a little bit torn on this one anyway.

I think however that I'm a little bit brainwashed by the push that was made to change here to use WH ratio as a better option than BMI.

OK so we have our first 12 out of 12. Congrats lady. Bonus points for pointing out that W2H ratio is better than BMI for people who can't have their body fat % tested! You Rock girl!

After I come back from lunch, now that all the answers are given, I'll answer any questions people may have about these things. Maybe if I have time today I'll write up another quiz. Dunno, this takes about an hour or so at least, and now all the obvious questions are gone so it'll probably take longer.

MzBug

Thanks Boss... now that the answers are out I can see where I messed up! Great quiz!

SHBoss1673

sure thing, FYI major you got 11 of 12, just the exercise length was the only one you missed. Neurological adaptation to repetitive activity takes 6 to 8 weeks for most people.
