NASM CPT EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION 100% VERIFIED
GTO (Golgi Tendon Organ)
senses change in muscle tension
autogenic inhibition
Muscle Spindle
change in length
Joint recptor
Pressure & acceleration
Corrective Flexibility
SMR & Static Stretching
use in phase 1-5
increases joint range of motion, improves muscle imbalances, and corrects altered joint
motion
SMR (self myofascial release)
gentle pressure breaks up knots within muscle and helps releases unwated tension
Autogenic Inhibition (all phases)
Phases 1-5: warm up and cool downs
Static Stretching
passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum
of 30 seconds; autogenic inhibition
(corrective)
phases 1-5
Active Flexibility
SMR and active-isolated stretching
improves extensibility of soft tissue and increases neuromuscular efficiency
use for phases : 2, 3, and 4
Active Isolated Stretching
uses agonist and synergists to dynamically move joints into a range of motion
Reciprocal Inhibition
phases 2-4
functional flexibility
maintains integrated, multiplanar soft tissue extensibility and optimal neuromuscular
control; full ROM; use for Phase 5 training
SMR & Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic Stretching
Functional Flexibility
uses force production and momentum to move joints through full range of motion
Reciprocal inhibition
phase 5
autogenic inhibition
Neural Impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to
contract; provides inhibitory effect to muscle spindles
, (stretch reflex)
static stretching and SMR
reciprocal inhibition
The simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of its antagonist to allow
movement to take place
Active stretching & dynamic
Davis law
soft tissue models along the lines of stress
Relative Flexibility
tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance
concentric
moving in opposite direction of force, accelrates or produces forces; muscle shortens
eccentric
muscle develops tension while lengthening, decelerates force
Altered reciprocal inhibition
muscle inhibition casued by a tight agonist, which inhibits its functional agonist
heart rate zone 1
65-75%
heart rate zone 2
76-85%
heart rate zone 3
86-95%
Karvonen Formula
aka max heart rate reserve method;
training HR = (max HR - resting HR) X target intensity (40/50-85%) + resting HR
normal blood pressure
120/80 systolic is top
EPOC
elevation of metabolism after exercise (increased consumption of o2 which is required
to help body restore and return to its pre exercise state)
Insulin
Regulares energy and glucose metabolism in body
stroke volume
amount of blood pumped with each contraction
cardiac output
volume of blood pumped per minute; heart rate x stroke volume
resting oxygen consumption (Vo2)
3.5 ml × kg-1 × min-1 = 1 metabolic equivalent (MET)
cardio exercise increases:
cardiac output, breathing efficiency, oxygen transport and use, use fats for fuel, mental
alertness, ability to relax and sleep, tolerance to stress, lean body mass, metabolic rate
cardio exercise decreases
resting heart rate, cholesterol, blood pressure, and the risk of heart disease, blood clots,
depression, anxiety, obesity and diabetes
aerobic
