ACSM CPT (!) QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (GRADED A+)

ACSM CPT (!) QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (GRADED A+)

Anatomical Position ✔️Ans - Universally accepted reference position
used to describe regions and spatial relationships of the human body and
to refer to body positions.

Planes of motion ✔️Ans - Three imaginary planes the pass through the
body.

Sagittal Plane ✔️Ans - Divides the body or structure into left and right
sides.

Frontal Plane ✔️Ans - Also called Coronal Plane, divides the body or
structure into anterior and posterior sections.

Transverse Plane ✔️Ans - Also called the Horizontal Plane, divides the
body into superior and inferior potions.

Center of Gravity ✔️Ans - The theoretical point where the weight force of
the object can be considered to act, and changes with movement and
depends on body position.

Joint Movement ✔️Ans - often described by its spatial movement pattern
in relation to the body, typically in terms of anatomical position.

Extension ✔️Ans - Movement resulting in an increase of the joint angle,
usually moving posteriorly in the sagittal plane.

Abduction ✔️Ans - Movement away from the midline of the body, usually
in the frontal plane

Adduction ✔️Ans - Movement toward the midline of the body, usually in
the frontal plane.

Horizontal Abduction ✔️Ans - movement away from the midline of the
body in the transverse plane. usually used to describe horizontal humerus
movement when the shoulder is flexed at 90 degrees.

,Horizontal Adduction ✔️Ans - Movement toward the midline of the body
in the transverse plane, usually used to describe horizontal humerus
movement when the shoulder is flexed at 90 degrees

Internal (medial) Rotation ✔️Ans - Rotation in the transverse plane
toward the midline of the body.

External (Lateral) Rotation ✔️Ans - Rotation in the transverse plane
away from the midline of the body.

Lateral Flexion (Right or Left) ✔️Ans - Movement away from the midline
of the body in the frontal plane. Usually describes trunk and neck
movement.

Rotation (Right or Left) ✔️Ans - Right or left rotation in the transverse
plane, usually used to describe neck and trunk movement.

Elevation ✔️Ans - Movement of the scapula superiorly in the frontal
plane.

Depression ✔️Ans - Movement of the scapula inferiorly in the frontal
plane.

Retraction ✔️Ans - Movement of the scapula toward the spine in the
transverse plane.

Protraction ✔️Ans - Movement of the scapula away from the spine in the
transverse plane.

Downward rotation ✔️Ans - inferior and medial movement of the
inferior angle of the scapula in the frontal plane

Circumduction ✔️Ans - A compound circular movement involving
flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction, circumscribing a cone shape.

Radial Deviation ✔️Ans - Abduction of the wrist in the frontal plane

Ulnar Deviation ✔️Ans - Adduction of the wrist in the frontal plane

, Opposition ✔️Ans - Diagonal movement of thumb across the palmar
surface of the hand to make contact with the fifth digit.

Eversion ✔️Ans - abduction of the ankle

Inversion ✔️Ans - Adduction of the ankle

Dorsiflexion ✔️Ans - Flexing the ankle so that the foot moves anteriorly
in the sagittal plane

Plantarflexion ✔️Ans - Extending the ankle so that the foot moves
posteriorly in the sagittal plane

Pronation (foot/ ankle) ✔️Ans - combined movements of abduction and
eversion resulting in lowering of the medial margin of the foot

Supination (foot/ankle) ✔️Ans - Combined movements of adduction and
inversion resulting in raising of the medial margin of the foot.

FITTE Principle ✔️Ans - Frequency
Intensity
Time / Duration - 60 minutes
Type
Enjoyment

Indicators of being warm ✔️Ans - - Sweating
- Slight breathing increase
- Slight HR increase
- Skin Color
- Talk test (Can they hold a conversation during warm up)

Cool Down ✔️Ans - Designed to bring down blood pressure slowly and
prevent blood pooling
- General guidelines are 5-10 min.

3 sources of energy ✔️Ans - 1.) Protein (amino acid)
2.) Carbs (Glucose)
3.) Free Fatty Acids (Triglycerides)
