NASM PES EXAM REVIEW
Questions and Answers
1. Principle of Specificity: The body will adapt to demands placed on it.
2. Caffeine effects...: CNS, heart, and skeletal muscles
3. Risk factor for tendonitis: Cold weather
4. As stretch intensity increases,: frequency of nerve impulses increases
5. Acute effects occur: Shortly after ingestion
6. Rate Coding: Firing frequency of motor units
7. Structural efficiency: Capability if the body to overcome forces to maintain alignment of the
musculoskele- tal system, allowing one to maintain center of gravity.
8. The highest intensity of muscle activation, while performing
Olympic lifts occurs at the..: Hip extensors
9. During which stage of the stress response will the body

,experience less soreness and improvement in activity?: Resistance
Development
10. What is involved in the postural control system?: Proprioceptive,
Vestibular, Visual
11. How many meals should an athlete eat each day?: 4-6 small meals
12. Detect muscle length: muscle spindles
13. detect pain: nociceptors
14. Detect limit in a rang of motion: ruflni atterants
15. Detect joint rotation: skin receptors
16. Rate of force production: Exert max force in a short amount of time
17. Olympic lifts should be inserted into which phases of the OPT
model?: 5/6
18. posture: the capability to maintain alignment within the human movement system via
dynamic control
2/

, 19. Main reason cardiac output is improved with training: increase in
stroke volume
20. What will improve rate of force production: plyometrics: rapid exchange
between eccentric and concentric contractions
power exercises
21. Olympic lifts occur in what planes: frontal and saggital
22. The majority of strength gains occur within: the first 12 weeks
23. As intensity of exercise increases,: respiratory quotient increases
24. The number of foot contacts measures: training volume
25. speed is: rate of performance
26. As intensity increases, the number of repetitions that can be
performed: de- creases
