Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What type of massage do you need, if you have had lymph glands removed after breast cancer surgery?

Answer: Lymphatic Drainage

Although all types of massage are beneficial, lymphatic drainage helps move the fluid that builds up in the arm areas after breast cancer surgery. Removal of lymph nodes causes a build up of interstitial fluid which needs to be mechanically removed. The techniques used in lymphatic drainage aid in directing the contents of the lymphatic vessels towards the heart area. Very light circular movements and very light long sweeping movements are techniques used over the area that is swollen. Talcum powder is often used instead of oil so that the therapist's hands can glide lightly over the skin surface.
2. A person has been told by the doctor that his blood sugar levels are heading towards borderline diabetes. What is the best nutritional plan that he should adopt to keep his blood sugar levels low?

Answer: All of these

All of the answers are correct. We can avoid the risk of becoming diabetic by eating less processed foods, reducing alcohol consumption and avoiding fried foods. Processed foods are often high in sugar, salt and simple carbohydrates which all contribute to obesity if eaten too much.
3. Which out of the following choices is the best way to lose weight and keep it off?

Answer: All are equal in efficiency

So long as you are walking for at least 30 minutes per day it doesn't matter if you break up the time with three lots of ten minutes or two lots of fifteen minutes. Along with a healthy diet walking is the preferred way to lose weight because it uses the stored fat in the body. Walking is ideal for people who are obese, have heart problems or arthritic conditions.

A doctor should be consulted before any exercise program begins if any of these conditions are present.
4. A person has been gardening all day and he has complained of lower back soreness with pain radiating down one of his legs. What is most probably causing the pain?

Answer: Sciatica due to a strained piriformis muscle

Pain that radiates down one leg can be caused by a tight piriformis muscle, which is situated in the buttocks region of the body. The sciatic nerve is situated close to the piriformis muscle and branches down towards the feet. When piriformis is overused it becomes inflammed and puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. This results in pain being felt all along the nerve down to the toes.
5. Health experts claim that people need six to eight glasses of water a day. If you eat fruits and vegetables, does this contribute to your daily water intake?

Answer: Yes

The high water content of fruit and vegetables can contribute to the amount of water our bodies need each day. However fruit and vegetable juices are not recommended in large quantities because they contain high levels of sugar and salt. Fresh is always best and calories must be considered if eating too much fruit per day. Two pieces of fruit and 5 different types of vegetables is the recommended daily consumption according to health experts.
6. The best way to condition the body for optimal health and fitness, is to exercise regularly and increase the workload gradually. What shouldn't you do if you are following a weight training exercise program?

Answer: Increase the load and the repetitions at the same time

Personal training programs in the gym are based on the individual goals of a person. Someone who wishes to increase bulk would use bigger weights, less repetitions per set and longer rest between sets. Someone who wants to increase his/her cardiovascular fitness would use lighter weights, less rest between sets and more repetitions per set. If you increase the load and the repetitions at the same time you can overload the system and cause significant tissue damage to the body part being exercised.
7. A person who is obese, has uncontrolled high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes and the flu, wants to lose weight and get fit. What should he do?

Answer: Consult a physician first

A physician should be consulted before any exercise program begins, especially if you have two or more contraindications for exercise. Obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes are contraindications for exercise. If a person has the flu, rest and fluids should be given and exercise should only be started once the person has recovered. If the body is fighting a virus then it cannot perform at peak levels and extra strain is put on the heart and lungs.
8. After performing in a 10 hour marathon consisting of cycling, swimming and running, an athlete often loses weight, his/her body becomes cold and he/she often starts cramping in the legs and arms. What is the best type of massage you would use straight after a 10 hour race?

Answer: Post Performance Sports Massage

Post Performance Sports Massage assists in clearing the body of toxins and lactic acid. The techniques used by the massage therapists are: long sweeping movements towards the heart; gentle circular movements over muscle and tendon sheaths; and light frictioning over areas where muscle tendons meet bone.
9. Golfer's elbow is a painful condition that affects the inner elbow and tennis elbow is said to be a problem with the outer part of the elbow. What body structure is involved if a person has Tennis elbow?

Answer: Tendons

Tendonitis of the outer elbow is often referred to as 'tennis elbow'. It is quite common and is due to overuse of the tendons surrounding the elbow joint. Pain is quite noticeable and should be treated with ice, rest, analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
10. Many females are not happy with their waistlines especially after giving birth. Stomach exercises will not only help firm the abdominal muscles but assist in burning up some of the excess fat. Which one of the following choices can actually increase the size of the waistline, compared to the other choices?

Answer: Using gym equipment and increasing weights gradually

If a woman wants a slimmer waist any of these exercises will help to remove the excess fat gained after pregnancy. However, by increasing weights on gym apparatus the abdominal muscles will increase in size and actually increase the waistline measurement. Weights can be used providing they are not too heavy and the reps and sets are increased instead.

The ideal way to obtain a slimmer waistline is by doing exercises such as sit-ups which use own-body-weight. Swimming and cycling can help by using up body fat and increasing cardiovascular fitness.
