Certification Exam Questions and
Answers
bouancy - -upward thrust of water on an object
- Floater - -participant with more adipose tissue in chest/rear end that floats
more easily. Suspended moves may be easy for them
- Sinker - -Participant with higher bones density or higher lean mass ratio
who will sink more readily. Suspended moves are move difficult for them
- Drag - -resistance by friction of water, generally opposite the direction of
the object
- Air > Water - -Acceleration is greater in air than water
- Benefits of Aqua Exercise - -Impacts core stability, balance, lot-to-no-
impact, improves muscle symmetry, speeds up metabolism, reduces stress,
non-competitive atmosphere, encourages social interaction, blood circulation
assist, increases HDL
- Examples of orientation - -at wall, shallow free standing, deep water free
standing, anchored (1 foot on floor)
- How to control movement - -pulsing, speed, force, rhythm, start/stop,
forward/back, add drag
- Planes of movement - -sagittal, frontal, transverse
- Increase intensity using: - -lever length
lever angle
direction of movement
upper/lower movement changes
equipment
- Timed Freestyle Choreography Method - -Do one exercise for a specified
length of time, then next exercise, etc.
EX: Jacks 2 min, Ski 2min, Jog 2min
