NSCA-CPT EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% VERIFIED What actions (or lack of) constitute negligence - answer to screen, evaluate or test clients before recommending activity, iencies in the exercise or fitness prescription or recommendation process, 3. failure to properly supervise or instruct activity, 4. overuse injuries, re to refer client to health professional, 6. Fail to provide or secure appropriate emergency response for clients 7. improper disclosure of private info 8. Improper assumption of risk, waiver or release documents What is negligence - answerFailure of one person to comply with the legally determined duty to protect another person, which failure proximately cause se the other person harm What is meant my standard of care - answerA set of criteria for the appropriate duties of a PT. Legal boundaries that determine the extent of a PTs duties What is the gait pattern of sprinting - answerPosture -Acceleration phase-body lean forward approx. 45 deg for 13 to 16 yards. -Then move up right to 5 deg lean -Head relaxed ans show minimal movement, eyes focused ahead Legs Driving phase -lead foot, driven by hip extensors, lands on the lateral aspect of the forefoot, just in front of center of gravity -at foot strike, quad muscles contract to prevent excessive knee flexion -ankle remain dorsiflexed and great toe extended - glutes and hams contract so the client pulls himself over the body's center of mass -client begins plantarflexing the foot once the hip crosses over the foot until completion of the toe-off -ground contact time should be minimal Recovery Phase -begins the moment the clients foot leaves the ground -dorsiflex the ankle and extend the great toe -flex the knee, driving the foot directly toward the buttocks -as the heel moves towards the butt, the leg swings forward as if the client is trying to step over the opposite knee -knee extends to an approx. 90 deg position and then becomes nearly straight as the foot moves down and forward, driven toward the ground by the hip extensors. (don't run heel to toe) Arm Action -each elbow should be flexed at approx. 90 deg -originate movement from the shoulder with minimal frontal plane action -aggressive backward hammering or punching motion and occur opposite the leg motion -hands rise to shoulder level and pass buttocks when moving back Acceleration-13-16 yards to achive proper technique (velocity and stride length. -initially foot strike will be behind body, increase in body lean, stronger emphasis on front side running mechanics (high knee punch, dorsiflexion) What are the technique guidelines for assistive and resistive sprinting? - answerAssistive- good for stride frequency (high speed towing, use of high speed treadmill) -should not increase speed by more than 10% of clients maximal speed -proper warmup session Resisted-help increase stride length and speed-strength (uphill running, run in sand or water, sprint while being resisted by partner, sled or elastic tubing, parachute -should not increase external resistance by more than 10% -use heavier resistance, goal=improve acceleration phase -use lighter, goal=improve maximum velocity -short distance (11-33yrd) What are the techniques for partner resisted and uphill sprinting - answerPartner resisted -position: client in front, PT attach tying in back, client moves 5.5 yrds while PT maintains beginning position -if speed slows, use less resistance and if proper form is not maintained, decrease distance Uphill sprinting -bottom of hill, assume comfortable upright position -maintain correct posture and technique (33-55yrds) -no higher than 7deg slope, if speed slows and if proper form is not maintained, reduce slope What are the techniques for downhill sprinting and partner assisted towing? - answerPartner Assisted -tubing attached to client and PT, PT moves 5.5yrds while client maintains position -after partner starts running, client runs with a slight lean in an upright position, focusing on stepping up and over the other knee, dorsiflexing feet when in the air and making contact on the ground with the ball of the foot and maintaining powerful arm drive Lower body plyometrics and types - answer-Allows clients muscle to produce more force in shorter amount of time -jump in place (squat jump, tuck jump split squat jump) -Standing jump (double leg vertical jump, standing long jump, front barrier hop) -multiple hops and jumps (double leg hop, front barrier hop) -Bounds (skip and alternate leg bound, lateral bounding) -Box drill (jump to box, jump from box) -Depth jump (depth jump to 2nd box) -ankle flip, skip upper body plyometrics and types - answer-Chest pass -depth pushup -45 deg sit up How to assess if a client is ready for plymometrics - answer-assess clients ability to hold a half-squat position -feet should width part, chin tucked under, scapulae slightly retracted, trunk parrellel to tibias, knees over toes and heels on ground
