NASM CPT7 Exam Questions With Accurate Solutions.
Mechanical specificity, neuromuscular specificity, metabolic specificity -
accurate answers-Mechanical Specificity:
weight and movements used. EX, high reps and low weights= endurance... low
reps and heavy weights= strength.
Neuromuscular Specificity:
speed of muscle contraction and the type of exercises to improve aspects of
stability, strength, or power. EX , controlled movements at a slower tempo can
help develop stability.
Metabolic Specificity:
energy demands placed on the body. EX, longer resistance training sessions
with minimal rest= aerobic endurance.
(OPT) Which of the following is a primary goal of the strength endurance
phase of the OPT model? - accurate answers-Enhance stabilization endurance
and prime mover strength
A client is performing the multiplanar step-up, balance, curl to overhead press
exercise. During the movement, their low-back arches. Which muscles are
potentially overactive and underactive? - accurate answers-Overactive:
latissimus dorsi and Underactive: abdominals
1. obese client has fat loss goals, what rep range should they use?
2. how long rest period between reps of SAQ exercise
3. min weekly goal of energy expenditure from combined physical activity for
obese clients - accurate answers-1. 12-20 reps
2. 15-60 seconds rest
3. 1,200kcal
, Stretch Reflex - accurate answers-Muscle stretches, causing it to quickly
contract to prevent overstretching.
Example: leg "jerking" when a doctor taps your patellar tendon
autogenic inhibition, reciprocal inhibition, isometric contraction/hold -
accurate answers-Autogenic Inhibition: Increased tension in a muscle causes
it to relax Ex: deep stretch= muscle relax and deeper stretch.
practice test wording: neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the
impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing inhibitory effect to muscle
spindles
Reciprocal Inhibition:When one muscle contracts, opposite muscle relaxes to
allow smooth movement.Ex: bend your elbow (biceps contract), your triceps
relax.
Isometric Contraction/hold:Muscle contracts and generates force, doesn't
change length.Ex: Holding a plank pose
What is shortest time period per day that balance training should be
conducted (3 times per week for 4 weeks) for children? - accurate answers-10
minutes per day
1. goal of quickness training and main component
2. SAQ training goal
3. number of SAQ drills per workout for youth - accurate answers-1. react
quickly to stimuli. Assessment of visual stimuli
2. decrease risk of osteopenia
3. 4 to 8 drills
Golgi tendon organ 2 primary actions - accurate answers-Sense change in
muscle-tendon tension and speed of tension change
