NASM CES Vocab Exam Questions and Answers 2024

NASM CES Vocab Exam Questions and Answers 2024 Corrective Exercise - Answer ️️ -the systematic process of identifying a neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction, developing a plan of action, and implementing an integrated corrective strategy. What is the 3 step corrective exercise process - Answer ️️ -1. identify the problem (integrated assessment) 2. solve the problem (corrective program design) 3. implement the solution (exercise technique) What are the 4 phases of the corrective exercise continuum - Answer ️️ -1. inhibitory phase 2. lengthen phase 3. activation phase 4. integration phase What is the first phase of the corrective exercise continuum? - Answer ️️ -The Inhibitory Phase: Inhibitory techniques are used to release tension or decrease activity of overactive neuromyofascial tissues in the body. What is the second phase of the corrective exercise continuum? - Answer ️️ -The Lengthen Phase: Lengthening techniques are used to increase the extensibility, length, and range of motion (ROM) of neuromyofascial tissues in the body. What is the third phase of the corrective exercise continuum? - Answer ️️ -The Activation Phase: Activation techniques are used to reeducate or increase activation of underactive tissues. What is the fourth phase of the corrective exercise continuum? - Answer ️️ -The Integration Phase: Integration techniques are used to retrain the collective synergistic function of all muscles through functionally progressive movements through the use of integrated dynamic movements. What is the length-tension relationship? - Answer ️️ -The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length. What is the force velocity curve? - Answer ️️ -the relationship of a muscle's ability to produce tension at differing shortening velocities What is force-couple? - Answer ️️ -the synergistic action of muscles to produce movement around a joint What are agonists? - Answer ️️ -muscles that act as the prime mover What are antagonists? - Answer ️️ -muscles that work in direct opposition to the prime movers What are synergists? - Answer ️️ -muscles that assist prime movers during functional movement patterns What are stabilizers? - Answer ️️ -muscles that support or stabilize the body while the agonists and synergists perform the movement patterns What is the local muscular system (stabilization systems) - Answer ️️ -consists of muscles that are predominantly involved in joint support or stabilization What is the global muscular systems (movement systems) - Answer ️️ -are responsible predominantly for movement and consist of more superficial musculature that originate from the pelvis to the rib cage, the lower extremities, or both What are the 4 subsystems of the movement system - Answer ️️ -1. Deep Longitudinal Subsystem (DLS) 2. Posterior Oblique Subsystem (POS) 3. Anterior Oblique Subsystem (AOS) 4. Lateral Subsystem (LS) What are the major soft tissue contributors of the Deep Longitudinal Subsystem (DLS) - Answer ️️ -erector spinae, thoracolumbar fascia, sacrotuberous ligament, biceps femoris, peroneus longus In what way does the Posterior Oblique Subsystem work with the Deep Longitudinal Subsystem - Answer ️️ -The POS works synergistically with the DLS What are the 2 largest contributors to the Posterior Oblique Subsystem - Answer ️️ -1. Gluteus Maximis 2. Latissimus Dorsi What are the prime contributors to the Anterior Oblique Subsystem - Answer ️️ -internal and external oblique muscles, the adductor complex, and hip external rotators What are the main contributors to the Lateral System - Answer ️️ -gluteus medius, tensor fascia latae, adductor complex, and the quadratus lumborum What is motor behavior - Answer ️️ -the human movement system response to internal and external environmental stimuli What is motor control - Answer ️️ -study of posture and movements with the involved structures and mechanisms used by the central nervous system to assimilate and integrate sensory information with previous experiences What is motor learning - Answer ️️ -utilization of motor behavior through practice and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in one's capacity to produce skilled movements What is motor development - Answer ️️ -the change in motor behavior over time throughout one's lifespan What is a sensation - Answer ️️ -a process by which sensory information is received by the receptor and transferred either to the spinal cord for reflexive motor behavior, to higher cortical areas for processing, or both What is perception - Answer ️️ -the integration of sensory information with past experiences and memory What is proprioception - Answer ️️ -a form of sensory information that uses mechanoreceptors to provide information about static and dynamoc positions, movements, and sensations related to muscle force what is sensorimotor integration - Answer ️️ -the ability of the central nervous system to gather and interpret sensory information to execute the proper motor response What is feedback - Answer ️️ -the utilization of sensory information and sensorimotor integration to aid in the development of permanent neural representations of motor patterns for efficient movement what is internal (sensory) feedback - Answer ️️ -the process by which sensory information is used by the body via length-tension relationships, force-couple relationships, and arthrokinematics to monitor movement and the environment what is external (augmented) feedback - Answer ️️ -information that is provided by some external force that is used to help reinforce internal fe
