The facet joints of the lumbar spine are oriented in the _____ which primarily allows _____ motions - Precise Answer Sagittal plane; flexion/extension
Which of the following utilizes a DIAGONAL fold when assessing body composition via skinfold calipers - Precise Answer Supraliac While supine, your client performs ROM on the shoulder joint. She displays tightness in the infraspinatus
and teres minor. You were led to this conclusion because the client was: - Precise Answer Unable to externally rotate the shoulder joint past 60 degrees
Defined as the volume of blood being pumped by the heart in a minute - Precise Answer Cardiac Output
Deviations in which plane are referred to as hyperlordosis: - Precise Answer Sagittal
Explanation: Hyperlordosis is an exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine that would be viewed in the sagittal plane. Pg 98
1. Superficial posterior compartment (i.e. posterior tibial compartment on PrepU) (gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris)
2. Deep posterior compartment (posterior tibialis, flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus)
3. Lateral compartment -- outside of the leg (peroneus longus, peroneus brevis)
4. Anterior compartment (anterior tibialis, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus.
1, 2, 3 are plantarflexion
4 is dorsiflexion - Precise Answer 4 compartments of the lower limb

Which of the following has the greatest effect on the reduction of blood pressure - Precise Answer Aerobic Exercise Training
The study of the mechanics of human movement is called: - Precise Answer Kinesiology
Total 200 mg/dL or HDL <40 mg/dL or LDL >130 mg/dL - Precise Answer Dyslipidemia What joint action of the shoulder is performed during a reverse cable fly or a reverse dumbbell fly - Precise Answer horizontal abduction
Concentric contraction of the triceps brachii muscle causes _____ in the _____ plane - Precise Answer extension; sagittal
During graded exercise, which of the following occurs due to large muscle vasodilation? - Precise Answer
Total peripheral resistance may drop slightly
Which of the following is a recommended procedure for administering a 1-RM strength test? - Precise Answer Conduct a familiarization period of no less than two weeks.
To manipulate the intensity and increase the challenge of balance-related training, you should: - Precise Answer Narrow the base of support
For most clients, a positive effect of consistent energy deficit is: - Precise Answer Decreased body weight
Which of the following counts as part of the fruit group: - Precise Answer 100% fruit juice
One of the MOST important reasons for assessment of your client's body composition is: - Precise Answer The correlation between obesity and increased chronic disease risk

Which of the following is responsible for hip extension: - Precise Answer gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus (Of these 4 muscles the Prep U course only requires the gluteus maximus for the answer to this specific question, but its worth knowing all 4 of the muscles are responsible for the action of hip extension) You are performing a submaximal treadmill test for your client in which you are gradually increasing the speed and grade. You observe a normal response to heart rate and blood pressure during the first several stages. During the next increase in speed and grade, you observe that SBP drops about 12 mm Hg. You should: - Precise Answer Terminate the assessment
You are ready to proceed with scheduling a fitness assessment with your client tomorrow. To get the most accurate heart rate response, you instruct your client to: - Precise Answer Refrain from drinking any caffeinated beverages 30 minutes prior to the assessment.
Which of the following cardiac variables will increase as a result of regular aerobic training at a submaximal effort? - Precise Answer Arteriovenous oxygen difference
During the supine rotational stretch, it is important to have the abdomen: - Precise Answer Oriented toward the ceiling.
Individuals with arthritis should ideally stretch when: - Precise Answer Joint pain is minimal
optimize client outcomes and identify risk factors - Precise Answer The MOST important reasons for maintaining collaborative relationships with health care professionals
Which of the following is MOST appropriate for a novice athlete starting plyometric training - Precise Answer Jumps in place
To accomplish progressive overload, increase the intensity and/or volume by increasing resistance, increasing the number of sets/reps exercises, or: - Precise Answer Modifying the order of exercises
Pre-participation health screenings during initial client consultation help the EP-C to maximize ______ and minimize _______ risk - Precise Answer Benefit; risk
143 to 154 bpm
