NSCA CPT CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
TESTED QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
SOLUTIONS
●● Tendon
Answer: a special connective tissue that is attached to the bone
periosteum; any contraction of the muscle pulls on the tendon and, in
turn, the bone.
●● Muscle fibers
Answer: long muscle cells that create mucles
●● Fasciculi
Answer: bundles or muscle fibers grouped under the epimysium
●● Periosteum
Answer: Tissue that surrounds the fasciculi as a whole and lies beneath
the Epimysium
●● Endomysium
Answer: Tissue that surround each individual muscle fiber
,●● Sarcolemma
Answer: Tissue that envelops muscle fibers
●● Myofibril
Answer: long tissue threads that contains the apparatus the contracts the
muscle cells (found in striated muscles)
●● Myofilaments
Answer: filaments of myofibrils constructed from protein, two types are
myosin and actin
●● cross-bridges
Answer: the globular head of a myosin molecule that projects from a
myosin filament in muscle and in the sliding filament hypothesis of
muscle contraction is held to attach temporarily to an adjacent actin
filament and draw it into the A band of a sarcomere between the myosin
filaments
●● Sarcomere structure
Answer:
●● Sliding filament model
Answer:
, ●● Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Answer:
●● Type I muscle fiber
Answer: Slow twitch, fatigue resistant, high capacity for aerobic energy
supply but have limited potential for rapid force development (low
aerobic power & low actomysin myofibril ATPase activity).
i.e postural muscles like neck and spine
●● Type II muscle fiber
Answer: Fast twitch, inefficient & fatiguable, low aerobic power, rapid
force development, high actomysin myofibril ATPase activity, and high
anaerobic power
●● Type IIa and Type IIx muscle fiber difference
Answer: Type IIa fibers have greater capacity for aerobic metabolism
and more capillaries surrounding them, therefore have greater resistance
to fatigue
●● P wave
Answer: depolarization of the atria in response to sinoatrial (SA) node
triggering, thus resulting in atrial contraction
