CERTIFICATION TEST 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥Planes of Movement. Answer: Flat imaginary surfaces that divide all
of the body into halves in order to correspond with movement, motion,
and actions. Human movement occurs in a plane of movement
⩥Transverse/Horizontal Plane. Answer: A horizontal plane that passes
through the
body dividing the body into superior and inferior (top and bottom)
sections.
Rotation and twisting actions occur within the
______________________________
⩥Exercise Safety Guidelines Type I Diabetes (Insulin Dependent) - A
metabolic disorder characterized by
inability to oxidize carbohydrates because of inadequate insulin..
Answer: Accounts for 10% of all diabetics
If blood glucose is below 80-100 mg/dl, one should consume
carbohydrates
before exercising.
If blood glucose is above 250 mg/dl, one should delay exercise until the
glucose is lowered.
,One should not exercise during the peak insulin action. One should
avoid injecting insulin into the working muscles and instead inject the
insulin into a skinfold.
One should consume additional carbohydrates after exercise.
⩥Exercise Safety Guidelines Type II Diabetes (Non-Insulin Dependent)
- A metabolic disorder characterized by inability to oxidize
carbohydrates because of a resistance to insulin.. Answer: Adult onset
Usually other health conditions are present such as obesity, high blood
pressure, and high cholesterol.
Can be controlled with diet and exercise. Individuals may take oral
medication.
Exercise Guidelines (set by The American Diabetes Association)
Participants should drink water before, during, and after exercise
Participants should plan the insulin injection in conjunction with the
exercise
session.
Participants should wear protective footwear.
Avoid extreme heat and cold environments.
Exercise at a steady pace, about 50-70% of VO2 MAX or HRR. Avoid
interval workouts.
Exercise with a buddy in case hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia occurs.
, Have easily digestible carbohydrates on hand in case of a drop in
glucose.
Personal trainers should ensure that they have instructions from their
doctors on how to alter carbohydrates and insulin prior to exercise.
⩥External Rotation. Answer: Rotation of a joint outwards away from the
midline of the body.
⩥Antagonist. Answer: Muscles that cause movement at a joint in a
direction opposite to that of its agonist.
⩥Exercise Safety Guidelines Arthritis. Answer: Avoid exercise when the
joint is inflamed.
Avoid exercise in the morning. This is when an individual has the least
amount of mobility.
Perform a longer warm-up to increase the viscosity of the joint due to
synovial
fluid being released.
Move all joints through full range of motion including fingers and toes.
Perform exercises gently with little to no bounding.
Personal trainers should consider an aqua exercise program for these
clients,
keeping the water temperature between 86-90°.
