EXAMINATION 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
⫸ Anatomical position Answer: is the starting position for the analysis
of movement for the human body.(The hands are lateral to the medial
elbow.)
⫸ Planes of Motion Answer: 1. Sagittal plane - divides the human body
in half from left to right so that flexion and extension can occur. For
movement within this plane, the resistance must come from below the
elbow during a standing biceps curl. If bent-over, the resistance must
come from directly behind the new position.
2. Frontal plane - divides the body in half from front to back. In this
plane, one can perform adduction and abduction. If standing, the
resistance and the fight against gravity come from the direction and
gravitational pull of the earth.
3. Transverse plane - divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior
(lower) segments. In these planes one can perform all rotations such as
internal and external rotations as well as horizontal movements. A sport
such as golf would involve performing movements in the Transverse
planes of motion.
⫸ Anser Answer: Align the Joints before engaging a load. This is
crucial because alignment distributes the load to the desired core muscle
as opposed to a weaker area not intended to be loaded.
, ⫸ aNser Answer: Neutral Spine must be maintained for protecting all
joints and muscle systems while exercising to disperse the load off of the
spine.
⫸ anSer Answer: Square the Hips and Shoulders before performing
many resistance training exercises for safe practice.
⫸ ansEr Answer: Engage Muscles While Under Load. It takes only a
quarter of a second to obtain whiplash, so it is important to be mentally
and physically prepared to accept responsibility for the weight prior to
beginning an exercise.
⫸ anseR Answer: Retract Shoulder Blades. Make sure the shoulders are
depressed before lifting and also while performing most other exercises.
⫸ The benefit of using ANSER Answer: not limited to gym-based
training. In addition to sport specific training and powerlifting,
individuals performing everyday tasks may sustain bodily damage if not
following these principles. Using ANSER in our daily lives, as well as
when we are exercising will go a long way toward preventing injuries.
⫸ THE RISK/BENEFIT EQUATION (R/BE) Answer: NAFC original
concept pertaining to the constant and possibly dangerous variables a
personal trainer faces while recommending and working with a diverse
client base. (safety)
