EXOS SPORTS PERFORMANCE SPECIALIST EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS 2026-2027
Is power a direct or indirect method for ESD - correct answer-both!
Direct=meter on a bike
Indirect = time to complete task
Creates a goal for next week -
Circuits - # of rounds completed
The drill is the coach- athlete decides - ownership
Goals
Short term E system: 10 secs get 50 ft
lateral bound double contact quick stick - correct answer-most important movement prep for shuffling
acceleration - correct answer-0-20
change in velocity / change in time - correct answer-acceleration
Body weight x acceleration - correct answer-
force (how much F is needed if an athlete needs to go x speed)
speed endurance - correct answer-> 40 yds
start critical positions - correct answer-1. start: back hip 94 back knee open
2. ankle cross
3. toe off and contact
40 yd dash (time) - correct answer-< 4.5 sec
acceleration coaching pillars - correct answer-Posture
, Legs
Arms
acceleration pillar prep (5-10 min) - correct answer-Shoulder flexion and extension
Thoracic extension and rotation
Hip flexion and extension (90 - 10)
Ankle DF - "the trigger"
linear acceleration plyo prep - correct answer-Linear vertical & horizontal
Initiation: NCM (max force without SSC mimics the start) and double contact (rapid)
Movements: bound and hop is more specific
Acceleration programming - correct answer-Technical (10-15 min) - fatigue is the enemy of learning
Motor learning
New drills
High recovery
Skill application (10-20 min)
High intensity
Full skill execution
High recovery
acceleration speed strength FITT - correct answer-Frequency: 1-2x/week 45 -60 min session
Volume: 10-30 yds
4-8 reps (+- 2)
Sets: 1-2
