NETA EXAM 3 2026 EXAM PREPARATION
WORKBOOK COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS HIGH SCORE A+
◉ Golgi tendon organs. Answer: sensory receptors located in the
musculotendinous unit that are sensitive to changes in muscular
tension and the rate of tension change. When stimulated by rapidly
increasing or excessive tension, the Golgi tendon organs cause the
muscle to relax, thus preventing excessive stress and potential injury
◉ static stretching. Answer: involves moving a muscle into a
lengthened position, causing mild discomfort, but not pain, which is
held for an extended period of time
◉ dynamic stretching. Answer: utilize slow, controlled, and rhythmic
movements to actively increase joint range of motion
◉ ballistic stretching. Answer: utilize rapid and repetitive bouncing
movements in an effort to lengthen and stretch the targeted muscle
◉ Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF). Answer:
include several variations of stretching techniques that couple
passive static stretching and muscular activation
,◉ Self-myofascial release (SMR). Answer: A technique during which
an individual uses their own body weight to apply pressure to a
targeted muscle using a foam roller or a similar device
◉ benefits of stretching. Answer: -restores and/or maintains muscle
balance necessary for proper postural alignment
-Decreases muscular tension and musculotendinous stiffness
-Reduce joint stress
-May reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury and delayed onset of
soreness
◉ guidelines for flexibility training. Answer: -greater than or equal
to 2 to 3 days per week as effective in improving joint range of
motion
-holding a static stretch for 10 to 30 seconds is recommended for
most adults
-It is recommended that each flexibility exercises performed 2 to 4
times per session. Perform 30 seconds of total stretching time for
each flexibility exercise.
◉ ideal characteristics of a GEI. Answer: -punctuality and
dependability
-Professionalism
-Dedication
, -Good communication skills
-Time management
◉ pre-class leadership. Answer: according to standards developed
by the American College of sports medicine health and fitness
facility operators shall offer a general pre-activity screening tool to
all new members. When indicated, a member shall be advised to
consult with appropriate healthcare providers and obtain medical
clearance prior to exercise participation.
◉ monitoring cardiorespiratory intensity. Answer: understanding,
target heart rate, rating of perceived exertion, and the talk test is the
first step in monitoring exercise intensity. There is not one method
that works for all types of classes and there is no hard and fast rules
for monitoring, just that it must be done
◉ signs of fatigue. Answer: -breakdown in proper form
-Labored breathing
-Excessive sweating
-Dizziness
◉ boot camp. Answer: form of training originally consisted of push-
ups, squat, thrusts, and other body weight training exercises
