FITOUR Group Exercise Certification
questions and answers
Muscles responsible for a definite movement ✔✔Muscle movement/action. Prime
movers(agonist)
Muscles that cause movement at a joint in a direction opposite to that of its agonist ✔✔Muscle
movement/action. Antagonist
Muscles that keep the joint steady while the prime mover applies that force to a neighboring
joint ✔✔Synergists
An exercise format that incorporates several different modalities of exercise that is taught in a
group setting by one or more professionally trained instructors. ✔✔Group Exercise
An individual who is professionally trained and certified by a nationally recognized organization
to teach individuals in a group setting safe and effective exercises. ✔✔Group Exercise Instructor
Training system that gradually increases the demand on the body ✔✔Progressive Overload
Principle
A way to recover from exercise by reducing the amount of activity you do ✔✔Active Rest
Usually refers to a period of complete non-activity, such as sleep. ✔✔Passive Rest
, The training principle that fitness improvements are lost when demands on the body are
lowered ✔✔Reversibility
The idea that one should train in a specific manner to achieve a specific outcome. ✔✔Specificity
Concept
Overall positive improvements in the performance of the heart, lungs, and muscles due to
conditioning ✔✔Training Effect
Systematically manipulating training variables to create an overload thereby demanding the
body to adapt and improve. ✔✔Training Variation
Physiological adjustment to a change in an environmental factor. 7-12 days to adjust.
✔✔Acclimatization
Sub-maximal intense activities that use large muscle groups with energy supplied in the
presence of oxygen that can be performed for a long period of time. ✔✔Aerobic Activities
Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages ✔✔Periodization
The maximum amount of oxygen the body can take in and use during exercise ✔✔VO2 Max
The point during exercise of increasing intensity at which blood lactate begins to accumulate
above resting levels, where lactate clearance is no longer able to keep up with lactate
production. ✔✔Lactate Threshold
