FITOUR Group Exercise Certification
questions and answers
What is the FITT Applied to Flexibility? ✔✔Frequency: at least 3 day/week or after a workout
Intensity: Stretch all major muscles to the point of mild discomfort
Time: hold each stretch 15-30 sec/repeat each stretch 3-5 sets
Agility ✔✔is the ability to start and stop and move the body in different directions
coordination ✔✔is the ability to perform a task integrating movements of the body
overload ✔✔is to place greater than usual demands upon part of the body
force ✔✔is any push or pull that tends to cause movements
adherence ✔✔is a state of continuing an exercise program as prescribed
balance ✔✔is the ability to maintain a certain posture
plyometric ✔✔is a method of resistance training that emphasizes the stretching of the muscle
prior to the contraction
conditioning ✔✔is exercise conducted on a regular basis over a period of training
, power ✔✔is the ability to exert muscular strength quickly
speed ✔✔is the ability to move the whole body quickly
Kinesiology ✔✔is the scientific study of human movement
Planes of movement ✔✔flat imaginary surface that divide the body into halves in order to
correspond with movement, motion and action. Human movements occurs in a plane
Median/Sagittal Plane ✔✔a vertical plane that passes through the body anterior to posterior
dividing the body into right and left sections. Flexion and extension action occur within the
sagittal plane
Frontal/Coronal Plane ✔✔a vertical plane that passes through the body from side to side
dividing the body anterior and posterior sections. Abduction and adduction actions occur within
the frontal plane
Transverse/Horizontal Plane ✔✔A horizontal plane that passes through the body dividing the
body into superior and inferior sections. Rotation and twisting actions occur within the
transverse/horizontal plane
Oblique Plane ✔✔A plane that lies tilted between the 3 primary planes associated with
kinesiology
Muscle movement/action. Prime movers(agonist) ✔✔Muscles responsible for a definite
movement
