TEST UNIT 2 level 2: Scientific evidences

Question 1 of 10

1. Question

The use of electrostimulation in a passive way …

Activates metabolism, increasing heart rate and oxygen consumption.
It has no impact on the metabolism. Electrostimulation is only useful when applied accompanied by voluntary muscular contraction.
It can cause problems because it reduces the basal metabolism.
None is correct.

Question 2 of 10

2. Question

The fat percentage of a person and the distribution of their fat are factors that we must take into account when planning a training program aimed at fat loss.

False. All people respond in the same way to electrostimulation so we can apply the same "protocol" with all of them.
True. In the scientific literature we see how obese people tolerate worse the work of high frequency and that people with localized fat respond differently with respect to people with a more homogeneous fat distribution.
True. The higher the fat percentage of the customer, the greater the frequency that we must apply.
False. Electrostimulation is not useful to improve the fat percentage of our clients.

Question 3 of 10

3. Question

In soccer players it has been shown that the use of WB EMS …

It can be integrated into physical preparation during the regular season.
It provides benefits in strength levels that are applicable to specific skills.
Produces a positive improvement curve in the measured skills.
All are correct

Question 4 of 10

4. Question

If we want to apply electrostimulation to improve the recovery process of our athlete’s effort:

We can use any frequency as long as we apply a level of intensity within the sensitive threshold.
We must choose programs of low frequency (less than 10 Hz) at moderate intensities (sensitive threshold and motor 1).
A 5Hz program at moderate intensity can reduce blood lactate and CK levels.
B and C are correct.

Question 5 of 10

5. Question

Electrostimulation is useful only for athletes and people with a high level of physical condition.

False. Electrostimulation is only useful when there is no option to perform another type of training.
True. You need to have a high basic muscle development to be able to train with electrostimulation.
False. It has been shown that the population in general can improve parameters related to physical condition, quality of life and general health.
True. Only these people have a nervous system capable of supporting electrostimulation. It is a genetic determinant.

Question 6 of 10

6. Question

In a person who presents immobilization or dysfunction in a single limb (example: right leg) we can:

Apply electrostimulation in both members, as long as we have the approval of the health personnel. In some cases it will be necessary to modify the immobilization system to place the electrodes.
Train only the healthy limb (left leg). Thanks to electrostimulation, the cross-training effect may increase, so that the deterioration of the immobilized limb will be less.
A and B are correct.
In these cases, absolute rest is indicated and electrostimulation is contraindicated.

Question 7 of 10

7. Question

To improve the power (application of force per unit of time) it is crucial to use high frequency programs, regardless of the type of athlete, exercise or task selected.

True. In addition we will have to work with high intensities and high pulse widths.
False. In these cases we must train isometrically, with low frequencies and high intensities.
True. The adaptations generated are nonspecific so we can apply any exercise that motivates the athlete.
False. Depending on the priority vector of application of the force, the type of athlete and training methodology we must choose both the exercise and how to execute it more appropriate.

Question 8 of 10

8. Question

The use of WB EMS in recreational runners has shown:

Improvements in coordinative tests and strength.
Improvements in oxygen consumption and energy efficiency.
Increase in heart rate variability
A and B are correct

Question 9 of 10

9. Question

Is electrostimulation contraindicated in case of illness or peculiar health situation?

Yes. Electrostimulation can only be applied in healthy people with no history of previous illnesses.
No. All types of patients can use it without restrictions.
Yes. The neuroplasticity produced by electrostimulation has side effects in any type of patient.
No. But there must be follow-up of the case by the health manager. Positive effects are known in different kind of pacients (cardiac, renal, oncological, pulmonary, spinal,etc.). You need to have specific training to train this type of population.

Question 10 of 10

10. Question

The impact of electrostimulation on energy expenditure can be different depending on the configuration of the electrical impulse.

There are people who respond efficiently to high frequency programs, having a low energy expenditure before them. Therefore, low frequency programs could be a more appropriate option for most of the population.
There are people who respond efficiently to low frequency programs, having a low energy expenditure before them. Therefore, the use of high frequency programs could be a more appropriate option for most of the population.
Electrostimulation has the advantage of increasing energy expenditure in a similar way in all people, regardless of the parameters used. For this specific objective any program will be equally useful.
Electrostimulation does not increase energy consumption during exercise, so its use is not indicated to achieve this goal.
