AEA CERTIFICATION EXAM 2025/2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
FITT-VP - ANS Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type, Volume, Pattern, Progression
physical activity - ANS any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in
energy expenditure
exercise - ANS planned, structured, repetitive movement intended to improve or maintain
physical fitness
physical fitness - ANS the ability to handle the physical demands of everyday life without
becoming overly tired
body composition - ANS ratio of body fat to lean body tissue
Health related fitness components (5) - ANS cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength,
muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition, neuromotor exercise
cardiorespiratory endurance - ANS the ability of your heart, lungs, and blood vessels to send
fuel and oxygen to your tissues during long periods of moderate to vigorous activity

,Muscular Strength - ANS the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum
effort
Muscular Endurance - ANS the capacity of muscles to repeatedly exert force, or to maintain a
force, over a period of time
Flexibility - ANS The ability to move your body parts through their full range of motion
neuromotor exercise - ANS ability to perform normal everyday tasks
Skill related components of fitness (6) - ANS agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction
time, speed
Agility - ANS ability to move quickly and easily
Balance - ANS the maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving
Coordination - ANS integrates the senses with movements of the body to smoothly and
accurately perform motor tasks
Power - ANS the ability to quickly transfer energy into force
reaction time - ANS the amount of time taken to respond to a specific stimulus
Speed - ANS the rate at which a movement or activity can be performed
ballistic stretching - ANS a series of quick but gentle bouncing or bobbing motions designed
to stretch your muscles
2 @COPYRIGHT 2025/2026
, static stretching - ANS a technique in which a muscle is slowly and gently stretched and then
held in the stretched position, done after exercise
dynamic stretching - ANS technique in which muscles are stretched by moving joints slowly
and fluidly through their range of motion in a controlled manner; also called functional
stretching, can be done in warmup
frequency of cardiorespiratory exercise - ANS intense - 3 days/week
moderate - 5 days/week
or weekly combo
frequency of flexibility exercise - ANS >_ 2-3 days per week with daily being most effective
frequency of neuromotor exercise - ANS 2-3 days/week
how long for cardio - ANS moderate - 30-60 min/day
intense - 20-60 min/day
frequency of muscular strength and endurance exercise - ANS 2-3 days per week per muscle
group.
at least 48 hrs between sessions for recovery
how long for flexibility exercise? - ANS static - 10-30 sec though 30-60 may be better for
older
repeat 2-4x with a goal of 60 sec per joint
how long for neuromotor exercise? - ANS 20-30 min per week
