Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Exam Questions AND Correct
Answers
--- (hormones that promote tissue building) such as insulin, insulin-like growth
factors (IGFs), testosterone, and growth hormone - ✔✔Anabolic hormones
--- (primarily epinephrine but also norepinephrine and dopamine) are secreted
by the adrenal medulla and are important for the acute expression of strength
and power because the hormones act as central motor stimulators and
peripheral vascular dilators and enhance enzyme systems and calcium releases
in muscle. - ✔✔Catecholamines
--- acts at the neuromuscular junction to excite the muscle fibers of a motor
unit. - ✔✔Acetylcholine
--- addresses the skill in its entirety, whereas --- separates the skill into a series
of subcomponents. - ✔✔Whole practice & Part practice
--- adjusts the difficulty of the tasks by changing task characteristics such as the
execution speed or the equipment used. - ✔✔Simplification
--- allows one to draw general conclusions about a population from information
collected in a population sample. - ✔✔Inferential statistics
--- and --- are important to bone health, especially in the elderly population. -
✔✔Calcium & Vitamin D
,--- and --- are necessary for the formation of healthy cell membranes, the
development and function of the brain and nervous system, and the production
of hormones. - ✔✔Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids
--- are a class of drugs that block the B-adrenergic receptors, preventing the
catecholamines from binding. They are usually prescribed by cardiologists for
reduction in hypertension, but athletes use them to calm their nerves and
tremors during performance. - ✔✔Beta blockers (B-blockers)
--- are a complete set of nutrient intakes for use when evaluating and planning
diets for healthy individuals. - ✔✔Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
--- are essentially a facility's rules and regulations; they reflect the goals and
objectives of the program. - ✔✔Policies
--- are mechanoreceptors located near the musculotendinous junction and
sensitive to increases in muscular tension, and when stimulated, causes a
muscle to relatively relax. - ✔✔Golgi Tendon Organs
--- are muscular and broader shoulder (body type category) - ✔✔Mesomorphic
--- are organic substances needed in very small amounts to perform specific
metabolic functions. - ✔✔Vitamins
--- are slender, bony, and tall (body type category) - ✔✔Ectomorphs
--- are specific means of attaining program goals. - ✔✔Program objectives
,--- are those that are highly digestible and contain all essential amino acids. -
✔✔High-quality proteins
--- are those whose bodies tend to retain more body fat - ✔✔Endomorphs
--- are those with athletic body types (muscular and broad-shouldered) -
✔✔Mesomorphs
--- bar position is above the posterior deltoids at the base of the neck (using a
handgrip only slightly wider than shoulder-width) - ✔✔High
--- bar position is across the posterior deltoids at the middle of the trapezius
(using a handgrip only slightly wider than shoulder-width) - ✔✔Low
--- breaks down the task into a series of subcomponents that have clear breaks
between them. - ✔✔Segmentation
--- breaks the tasks into subcomponents that occur simultaneously. -
✔✔Fractionalization
--- can be defined as the product of force and displacement. - ✔✔Mechanical
work
--- can be defined as the range of motion about a body joint. - ✔✔Flexibility
, --- can stimulate the release of insulin growth factors within a cell, which create
protein anabolism. - ✔✔Growth hormone
--- conducts the impulse to the ventricles. - ✔✔Atrioventricular (AV) bundle
--- consists of a series of exercises designed to produce physical sensations in
the body - generally warmth and heaviness. - ✔✔Autogenic training
--- consists of the final steps before the facility can open. These steps include
finishing the interior decor and hiring a qualified staff. - ✔✔Preoparation phase
--- depletion can be a limiting factor both for long-duration, low-intensity
exercise supported primarily by aerobic metabolism and for repeated, high-
intensity exercise supported primarily by anaerobic mechanisms. - ✔✔Glycogen
--- describe how policies are met or carried out. - ✔✔Procedures
--- describes both for fast an object is traveling and its direction. - ✔✔Velocity
--- employs an intensity at or slightly higher than race competition intensity. -
✔✔Pace/Tempo training
--- employs the energy storage capabilities of the series elastic component and
the simulation of the stretch reflex to facilitate a maximal increase in muscle
recruitment over a minimal amount of time. - ✔✔Stretch-shortening cycle
