(T/F) True Exaggerated anterior-posterior curvature of the spinal column is known as: Kyphosis Even though sitting can be unavoidable for many people, it is best to limit time spent sitting as much as possible, and design your workplace according to correct ergonomics. (T/F) True The major movements that are possible at the knee joint are adduction and abduction. (T/F) False The knee is stabilized on the anterior side by which muscle? Quadriceps The semimembranosus and semitendinosus attach on what side of the knee? Medial The ankle joint is made up of which bone(s)? tibia and talus The hamstring muscles are a two-joint muscle that acts at the knee and hip. (T/F) True What muscle is located directly beneath the gastrocnemius and has similar functions to the gastrocnemius? Soleus The wrist joint consists of the ends of the radius and ulna bones of the forearm with the carpal bones of the hand. (T/F) True The shoulder girdle is made up of the clavicle and what other bone? Scapula A pronated grip would be palms up. (T/F) False ________ are a major factor that affects strength? Structural, Physiological, Psychoneural, Environmental The angle of Q represents: Starting strength What is a basic grip used in weight training? Supinated, Pronated, Neutral A supinated grip would be palms down. (T/F) False Dumbbells are an example of what type of training equipment? Constant resistance device A neutral grip would be thumbs up. (T/F) True New trainees should ____ through the sticking point and _____ during the less strenuous portion of the lifts. Exhale, inhale Aerobic means in the presence of oxygen. (T/F) True Maximum oxygen consumption is also known as: VO2 max Maximal heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from: 220 For aerobic training, ISSA recommends that individuals train at what percentage of the maximum heart rate? 55% to 85% A watt is a measure of power involving a known force, distance, and time frame. True A unit of measurement that refers to the relative energy demands of an activity in comparison to your energy demands in a resting state is known as a: MET Anaerobic means "in the presence of oxygen." False Using several modes of training to develop a specific component of fitness is known as: Cross-training Flexibility is the ability to flex, extend, or circumduct the joints through their full intended range of motion. (T/F) True The Golgi tendon organ, the muscle spindle, and the Pacinian corpuscle make up the three primary: Inhibitory proprioceptors Myofibrils are constructed of overlapping strands of protein polymers called: Actin and myosin Joint range of motion can be assessed with: - Goniometer - Sit and reach test - Shoulder flexibility test - Trunk extension test The muscle spindle detects excessive stretch within the muscle. (T/F) True If your goal is to improve range of motion, stretch to the point: Of mild or moderate discomfort ________ are a benefit of a proper warm up and dynamic stretch prior to exercise? - Improved metabolic adjustment to heavy work - Greater strength/power output - Increased muscle temperature - Increased velocity of nerve conduction This type of stretching facilitates an increase in muscle length through a maximum isometric contraction of the antagonist: Contract antagonist-relax (CA) method Endomorphs are slim body types.
