NASM CPT (7th Edition): Questions With Right
Answers
Human Movement System (HMS) Correct Answer - The
collective components and structures that work together to move
the body: muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems.
Kinetic Chain Correct Answer - A concept that describes the
human body as a chain of interdependent links that work together
to perform movement.
Regional Interdependence Model Correct Answer - The
concept describing the integrated functioning of multiple body
systems or regions of the body.
Biomechanics Correct Answer - The science concerned with
the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the
effects produced by these forces.
Kinesiology Correct Answer - Study of movement as it relates
to anatomy and physiology.
Anatomic Position Correct Answer - The position with the
body erect, the arms at the sides, and the palms forward. It is the
position of reference for anatomic nomenclature.
Multiplanar Correct Answer - Movement patterns that take the
body through motions in more than one plane.
Saggital Plane Correct Answer - An imaginary bisector that
divides the body into left and right halves.
, Flexion Correct Answer - A bending movement in which the
relative angle between two adjacent segments decreases.
Extension Correct Answer - A straightening movement in
which the relative angle between two adjacent segments increases.
Hyperextension Correct Answer - Extension of a joint beyond
the normal limit or range of motion.
Dorsiflexion Correct Answer - Flexion occurring at the ankle.
Plantar Flexion Correct Answer - Extension occurring at the
ankle. Pointing the foot downwards.
Frontal Plane Correct Answer - An imaginary bisector that
divides the body into front and back halves. Movement in the frontal
plane includes abduction, adduction, and side-to-side motions.
Abduction Correct Answer - A movement in the frontal plane
away from the midline of the body.
Adduction Correct Answer - Movement in the frontal plane
back toward the midline of the body.
Lateral Flexion Correct Answer - Bending of the spine from
side to side.
Eversion Correct Answer - A movement in which the inferior
calcaneus (heel bone) moves laterally. The bottom of foot faces
outward.
Inversion Correct Answer - A movement in which the inferior
calcaneus (heel bone) moves medially. Bottom of foot faces inward.
