EXERCISE SCIENCE FINAL ACTUAL TEST
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BUNDLED
REVIEW MATERIAL
●● Which pair correctly represents the two main subdivisions of
biomechanics?
Answer: Kinematics and Kinetics
●● Kinematics is primarily concerned with which aspect of motion?
Answer: Description of motion
●● Kinetics deals with ...
Answer: The action of forces creating motion
●● Which statement about statics is correct?
Answer: It studies systems at rest or moving at constant velocity
●● Dynamics in mechanics refers to systems where ...
Answer: Acceleration is present
●● General motion typically involves ...
Answer: Both linear translation and angular rotation simultaneously
,●● Which term best describes motion along a curved line?
Answer: Curvilinear motion
●● Which best distinguishes clinical biomechanics from sports
biomechanics?
Answer: Clinical focuses on injured or disabled individuals' ability to
perform daily activities: sport focuses on enhancing sports performance
●● When choosing the order of test items during pre-exercise
assessment, the best rationale is to:
Answer: Sequence tests from least to most fatiguing to minimize
interference
●● Pulse oximetry is most appropriately used to ...
Answer: Measure oxygen saturation of arterial blood noninvasively
●● Which piece of equipment provides direct, time-synchronized multi-
axis ground reaction force data useful for gait and balance analyses?
Answer: Force platform
●● The gold standard instrument used to assess body composition is...
Answer: Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
, ●● Which method of measuring energy expenditure is most valid for
capturing free-living total energy expenditure over multiple days?
Answer: Doubly labeled water assessment
●● Which assessment would most directly evaluate ventilators
mechanics and airflow limitation?
Answer: Spirometry
●● Which technique provides an invasive, cellular-level assessment of
skeletal muscle characteristics?
Answer: Muscle biopsy
●● Which statement best distinguishes certification from licensure?
Answer: Certification verifies meeting predetermined standards often via
examination; licensure is legal permission from a state to practice a
profession
●● Credentialing organizations primarily perform which function?
Answer: Oversee and administer examinations for certification and/or
licensure
●● Which component is most commonly required to maintain
professional certifications?
