NASM STUDY COMPLETE questions and
answers 2026\2027 A+ Grade
Subjective Information
- correct answer Information that is gathered from a prospective client to give the health and fitness
professional feedback regarding personal history such as occupation, lifestyle and medical background.
Program Design
- correct answer A purposeful system or plan put together to help an individual achieve a specific goal.
Biomechanics
- correct answer A study that uses principals of physics to quantitatively study how forces interact within
a living body.
Dietary Supplement
- correct answer A substance that completes or makes an addition to daily dietary intake.
Proprioceptively enriched environment
- correct answer An unstable (but controlled) environment where exercises are performed that causes
the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms
Reactive Training
- correct answer Exercises that use quick, powerful movements involving an eccentric contraction
immediately followed by an explosive concentric contraction.
Obesity
- correct answer Fastest growing health problem in the US
The Nervous System
- correct answer It is a conglomeration of billions of cells forming nerves that are specifically designed to
provide a communication network within the human body
,nervous system, skeletal system and muscular system
- correct answer kinetic chain
Heart
- correct answer Muscular pump that rhythmically contracts to push blood throughout the body
Dynamic Joint Stabilization
- correct answer The ability of the kinetic chain to stabilize a joint during movement.
Speed
- correct answer The ability to move the body in one intended direction as fast as possible.
The Core
- correct answer The lumbo-pelvic -hip complex and the thoracic and cervical spine, where the body's
center of gravity is located
Flexibility
- correct answer The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow the full range of motion of a joint.
Nutrition
- correct answer The sum of the processes by which an animal or plant takes in and uses food
substances.
Blood
- correct answer Acts as a medium to deliver and collect essential products to and from the tissues of
the body.
Protein
- correct answer Amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
Diabetes
- correct answer Chronic metabolic disorder, in which the body's ability to produce insulin or to utilize
glucose is altered
, Rate of force production
- correct answer How quickly a muscle can generate force
Superior
- correct answer Positioned above a point of reference.
Dynamic Range of Motion
- correct answer The combination of flexibility and the nervous system's ability to control this range
efficiently.

- correct answer The kinetic chain's ability to adapt to stresses placed on it.
Multisensory Condition
- correct answer Training environment that provides heightened stimulation to proprioceptors and
mechanoreceptors.
Cardiorespiratory system
- correct answer A system comprised of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems
Rate of Force Production
- correct answer Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.
Acute Variables
- correct answer Important components that specify how each exercise is to be performed.
Inferior
- correct answer Positioned below a point of reference.
sensory function
- correct answer The ability to sense changes in either external or internal environments
