NASM CES STUDY EXAMS GUIDE ALL QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔What is the global muscular systems (movement systems) - ✔✔are responsible
predominantly for movement and
consist of more superficial musculature that originate from the pelvis to the
rib cage, the lower extremities, or both
✔✔What are the 4 subsystems of the movement system - ✔✔1. Deep Longitudinal
Subsystem (DLS)
2. Posterior Oblique Subsystem (POS)
3. Anterior Oblique Subsystem (AOS)
4. Lateral Subsystem (LS)
✔✔What are the major soft tissue contributors of the Deep Longitudinal Subsystem
(DLS) - ✔✔erector spinae, thoracolumbar fascia, sacrotuberous ligament, biceps
femoris, peroneus longus
✔✔In what way does the Posterior Oblique Subsystem work with the Deep Longitudinal
Subsystem - ✔✔The POS works synergistically with the DLS
✔✔What are the 2 largest contributors to the Posterior Oblique Subsystem - ✔✔1.
Gluteus Maximis
, 2. Latissimus Dorsi
✔✔What are the prime contributors to the Anterior Oblique Subsystem - ✔✔internal and
external oblique
muscles, the adductor complex, and hip external rotators
✔✔What are the main contributors to the Lateral System - ✔✔gluteus medius, tensor
fascia latae,
adductor complex, and the quadratus lumborum
✔✔What is motor behavior - ✔✔the human movement system response to internal and
external environmental stimuli
✔✔What is motor control - ✔✔study of posture and movements with the involved
structures and mechanisms used by the
central nervous system to assimilate and integrate sensory information with previous
experiences
✔✔What is motor learning - ✔✔utilization of motor behavior through practice
and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in one's capacity to produce
skilled movements
✔✔What is motor development - ✔✔the change in motor behavior over time throughout
one's lifespan
✔✔What is a sensation - ✔✔a process by which sensory information is received by the
receptor and transferred either to the spinal
cord for reflexive motor behavior, to higher cortical areas for processing, or both
✔✔What is perception - ✔✔the integration of sensory information with past experiences
and memory
✔✔What is proprioception - ✔✔a form of sensory information that uses
mechanoreceptors to provide information about static and dynamoc positions,
movements, and sensations related to muscle force
✔✔what is sensorimotor integration - ✔✔the ability of the central nervous system to
gather and interpret sensory information to execute the proper motor response
✔✔What is feedback - ✔✔the utilization of sensory information and sensorimotor
integration to aid in the development of permanent neural representations of motor
patterns for efficient movement
