NCSF - CSC - CH. 1 - INTRO TO
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING EXAM
Anthropometric measures - Correct Answers -size, weight, and proportions of the
human body used for classification and comparison.
Reaction time - Correct Answers -response rate from perception to action; including all
information processing from the environment to the subsequent physiological response.
Dynamic equilibrium - Correct Answers -state of balance between continuing processes;
force sums do not necessarily equal to zero, but are close enough to maintain the
necessary balance and stability to engage the action effectively.
Health related components of fitness (HRCF) - Correct Answers -fitness measures
related to overall health and risk for disease; includes cardiorespiratory fitness,
muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition.
Cardiorespiratory fitness - Correct Answers -ability and efficiency of the circulatory and
respiratory systems to supply oxygen to working muscles during sustained activity.
VO2max - Correct Answers -highest rate at which O2 can be taken up and utilized
during exercise
Static equilibrium - Correct Answers -force sums equal zero, the body is stable and will
not be influenced to move in any direction unless the muscles creating forces fatigue
Ground reaction force - Correct Answers -exerted through the body, equal and opposite
to the force the body exerts on the ground
Proprioceptive pathways - Correct Answers -relating to stimuli that are produced and
perceived within the body, especially those associated with the position and movement
of the body
Stability - Correct Answers -property of a body to resist displacement; a factor of internal
forces that attempt to maintain or restore an original condition or position
Performance-related components of fitness (PRCF) - Correct Answers -related to
function; associated with sports performance but also related to overall health. Includes:
power, agility, speed, coordination, balance.
