A) applied, behavior, conditions B) athletes, behavior, competition C) affect, behavior, cognitions D) attitude, behavior, control C Arousal would best be defined as A) a negative response to a stressful situation characterized by apprehension and feelings of threat B) intrinsic and extrinsic motivation C) a state of physical and psychological activation or readiness D) a process in which individuals perceive an imbalance between their response capabilities and the demands of the situation C What differentiates sport psychologists from exercise psychologists?

A) effects versus affects B) between groups versus within groups C) performance versus health D) training versus skill D Relatively stable mind-sets toward physical activity are known as A) personalities B) dispositions C) feelings D) attitudes A Research on the effects of sport participation on personality has shown that A) sport participation increases aggression B) sport builds character C) competition reduces antisocial behaviors D) sport participation teaches higher levels of moral reasoning A Which happens first in a person who becomes burned out? A) feeling of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion B) negative moods and feelings and a negative change in response to other people C) feeling of a lack of accomplishment D) becoming disillusioned with involvement in an activity TRUE The elderly tend to become less physically active because of social isolation. A) True B) False D What is the key to reducing social loafing in groups? A) setting individual goals B) asking group members to focus on group performance C) increasing group size D) monitoring and evaluating individual performance D Which of the following were significant events that marked the 1970s as the decade in which sport psychology became established as a legitimate subdiscipline in the study of physical activity? A) Coleman Griffith began his research at the University of Illinois. B) Systematic research programs were established in universities.

C) A journal focusing on sport psychology was developed. D) both a and b B An important skill for a physical activity specialist, __________ , or allied health rehabilitative specialist is to be able to choose the relevant mechanical principles that apply to the movement of interest or to a phenomenon occurring inside the body. A) sport psychologist B) biomechanist C) ergonomist D) exercise physiologist D Industries in the 1950s needed to know the measurements of people to design seats, cockpits, and instrument panels that fit these users. What is the study of people's physical dimensions that provided this type of information? A) aesthetics B) mechanics C) prosthetics D) anthropometrics B One of the earliest known scientists is A) Kenyon B) Aristotle C) Kretchmar D What is the third step in a model of analysis for biomechanics?

A) law of inertia B) torque C) BMI D) action-reaction law D Which of the following is NOT a goal of biomechanics? A) to understand the interaction between the human user and the mechanics of equipment or devices to improve performance and well-being B) to understand how the basic laws of physics affect human motion and the structure and function of the human body C) to solve particular problems with the motion and structure of the human body D) to understand the relationship between mechanical laws and movement techniques of specific movements to improve the outcome or effectiveness of movements...
