Question

1.) HDL-cholesterol has a direct relationship with heart disease risk: higher HDL is associated with a greater risk of developing heart disease.

True or False

2.) Balance refers to the ability to maintain one's center of gravity within the base of support.  

True or False

3.) A posterior pelvic tilt and flat back may allow a running or jumping athlete to increase hip extension and apply force over a longer period of time, thus enhancing performance.

True or False

4.) Measuring skinfolds immediately after exercise (e.g., 60 minutes of moderate to high intensity exercise) is likely to result in an overestimation of body fat.  

True or False

Answer 1

1.)

HDL-cholesterol has a direct relationship with heart disease risk: higher HDL is associated with a greater risk of developing heart disease.

False

HDL (High-density Lipoprotein) is good cholesterol which is associated with reducing the risk of heart disease by reducing the risk of plaque formation inside arteries.

2.)

Balance refers to the ability to maintain one's center of gravity within the base of support.  

True

It is mainly possible by our vestibulocochlear system and somatosensory system.

3.)

A posterior pelvic tilt and flat back may allow a running or jumping athlete to increase hip extension and apply force over a longer period of time, thus enhancing performance.

False

It puts strains on the back muscles. It decreases performance.

4.)

Measuring skinfolds immediately after exercise (e.g., 60 minutes of moderate to high-intensity exercise) is likely to result in an overestimation of body fat.  

True

It is recommended not perform immediate after excercise, it should performed several hour after excercise.
