training - correct answer ✅
Briefly describe how weak muscles can be made stronger through flexibility
If a particular muscle is over activated it can inhibit
and weaken the contraction of its antagonist muscle. by stretching the tight
muscle it's weak antagonist will be able to contract with more optimal strength
and power and thus become stronger knowing how to work and stretch inhibited
muscles can lead to increase in strength.
correct answer ✅
A personal training specialist should be performing client reassessment every? -
1-3 months
minimal exercise experience - correct answer ✅
List appropriate program focusses for a client who is deconditioned and has
Simple movements that require
minimal challenge,Improve mobility and increase energy levels, increase
endurance and weight reduction
Explain the three types of muscle contraction - correct answer
muscle shortens and lengthens
✅ Concentric-
Eccentric- muscle produces force with no change in muscle length
, CANFIT PRO PTS BEST STUDY GUIDE
RATED A+
Isometric-muscle exerts force to counteract an opposing force with no change in
muscle length
✅
Briefly describe the terms ventilation and Diffusion - correct answer
Ventilation refers to the mechanical process of moving air in and out of the
lungs; diffusion refers to the way gases are exchanged in the lungs
