PGA LEVEL 2: EXAM QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS.
1) What is a probable result of working on the computer for extended periods of
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
time? -- Answer ✔✔ the shoulders to round and the head to extend toward the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
screen. Rounded Shoulders and upper cross syndrome
_ _ _ _ _ _
2) Why is upper crossed syndrome a probable result of working on the computer
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
for extended periods of time? -- Answer ✔✔ Due to the length of time spent in
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
these positions, the body adapts and strengthens the front side while loosening
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the back side. This creates the imbalance and causes upper crossed syndrome
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
3) What happens when factor muscles contract for joint stabilization? -- Answer ✔✔
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This allows the agonistic muscles to function appropriately and help the right
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
muscles contract and length. The fixators are very important in sports
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
performance because they ensure efficient movement patterns. _ _ _ _ _ _
4) According to the course manual, can only a player with a long torso rotation
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
generate power and speed? -- Answer ✔✔ False, both long torso rotation, and
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
short torso rotation can generate power and speed
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
5) What does a tilted hip position cause? -- Answer ✔✔ a tilted hip position cause a
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
restricted torso rotation toward the higher hip
_ _ _ _ _ _
6) What can upper and lower crossed syndromes create? -- Answer ✔✔ They
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
create reciprocal inhibition. Reciprocal inhibition takes place when certain muscle
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
groups will shut off and not function appropriately
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
7) What difficulty would a left dominate stance cause a right-handed golfer? --
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Answer ✔✔ a left dominant stance would cause right-handed golfers difficulty in
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
loading their right side at the top of the backswing
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
, 8) What is the function of the skeletal system -- Answer ✔✔ The function of the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
skeleton is to support the body, protect the organs, allow for movement, provide
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
a mineral reservoir, and produce blood cells
_ _ _ _ _ _
9) What are the two compartmental classifications of the skeleton -- Answer ✔✔
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The axial Skelton(torso and head), and the appendicular skeleton(arms, legs,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
pelvis, and shoulder girdle) _ _ _
10) What comprises the axial skeleton -- Answer ✔✔ The torso and head
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
11) What is needed to control rotary movement in the golf swing -- Answer ✔✔
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Body stability and hip, abdomen, and lower bock mobility are needed to control
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
their rotary movement
_ _
12) Upper crossed syndrome can be easily identified in an individual who has what
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
physical feature -- Answer ✔✔ They have a rounded shoulder position, the head
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
or neck is in a forward position, and winging scapulars(that is, the inside edges of
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the scapula rotate away from the body
_ _ _ _ _ _
13) What is a pattern of movement in which the body works efficiently throughout
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
most athletic movements -- Answer ✔✔ The cross crawl or X Pattern of
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
movement
14) What is a clear reason to evaluate a golfer using the standing pelvic tilt -- Answer
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
✔✔ students who are unable to perform this action will have a tendency to
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
change golf posture during their swing, wither rounding the shoulders to
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
accomplish the movement or raising and lowering the body to create movement
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
15) What is the probable golf swing result of rounded shoulders and a forward head
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
position? -- Answer ✔✔ - a forward head position creates a rounded golf posture,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_resulting in an inability to maintain a proper spine angle throughout the swing
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
- rounded shoulder position causes a narrow swing moron or forces the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
student's hands to stay close to the body. This usually results in a swing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
that has more lifting arm action due to the tightness in the student's chest
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and latissimus doors muscles _ _ _
