With Correct Solutions
According to the SAID principle, which of the following is an example of an exercise best
designed to strengthen the latissimus dorsi muscle for actions during rock climbing? -
ANSWER Pull-ups
Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding the "Kinetic Chain Concept"?
A system can be both open and closed simultaneously.
Bony segments and their linkage system of joints may be likened to a chain.
Any one link in an extremity may be moved individually without significantly affecting
other links if the chain is open.
If the chain is closed then substantial movement of any one link cannot occur without
substantial movement of the other links. - ANSWER A system can be both open and
closed simultaneously
Which one of the following may NOT be determined from viewing an activity from an
analysis perspective?
Which muscles that are performing the movement
Which type of contraction is occurring
Which kind of exercises are appropriate for developing the muscles
Which angle of movement will produce the greatest force - ANSWER Which angle of
movement will produce the greatest force
The chin-up, a(n) ______ kinetic chain exercise, requires ______ contraction of the
glenohumeral ______ during the "UP" phase. - ANSWER Closed; concentric; adductors
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the pushing "UP" phase of a
push-up?
The wrist and hand perform extension
The elbow performs flexion
The shoulder performs horizontal abduction
The shoulder girdle performs abduction - ANSWER The shoulder girdle performs
protraction
, Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding the "stance phase" of sports
skills?
Allows for more power to be transferred from the body during the movement
Allows the athlete to assume a comfortable and balanced body position
Emphasis is on setting various joint angles in correct positions
Is a relatively static phase with fairly short ranges of motion involved - ANSWER Allows
for more power to be transferred from the body during the movement
Which of the following statements is NOT valid regarding an "Open Kinetic Chain"?
Allows any one joint in the extremity to move or function separately
Upper extremity examples include a shoulder shrug, a shoulder abduction, or a biceps
curl
Requires the movement of other joints in the extremity
Lower extremity examples include seated hip flexion, knee extension, and ankle
dorsiflexion - ANSWER Requires the movement of other joints in the extremity
All of the following are open kinetic chain exercises EXCEPT:
chin-up & push-up
biceps curl
bench press
lat pull - ANSWER Push-up & Chin up
During the Follow-Through phase of most sports activities, negative acceleration of the
limb is accomplished through ______ contractions of muscles which are antagonistic to
those contracting in the Movement phase. - ANSWER Eccentric
During the LOWERING phase of the bent-over row (elbows in), glenohumeral extensors
contract ______, resulting in glenohumeral _________. - ANSWER Eccentrically; shoulder
flexion
Activities that enhance muscles of the hands, wrist, elbow and shoulder joints -
ANSWER Climbing, hanging, swinging
Upper extremity muscular strength and endurance is necessary for - ANSWER Injury
prevention and adequate skill development
Typical weight room exercises for strengthening the UE - ANSWER Exercises
concentrate only on muscles of anterior UE (benchpress, biceps curl ,etc.)
