AEA CERTIFICATION ACTUAL TEST PAPER
FULL QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE
ANSWERS GRADED APLUS
●● What i the maximum force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle
group against a resistance
Answer: muscular strength
●● What is the sliding filament theory?
Answer: Bands of actin & myosin do NOT change length to cause the
muscle to contract, rather they slide over each other.
●● What is tempo?
Answer: Cadence or speed of movement
●● What is impact?
Answer: Depends on body position and movement technique. All
options can be performed at various intensities
●● What are the 3 aquatic tempos used?
Answer: Land, water, 1/2 water
,●● What are the impact options for aquatics?
Answer: Levels 1,2,3
combined levels
Grounded/ anchored
Propelled, elevated
water specific
●● How do you alter aquatic intensity?
Answer: inertia
acceleration
action & reaction
frontal resistance
levers
●● What type of stretching activates the muscle spindles, specialized
receptors in the muscle that monitor muscle length change and the speed
of muscle length change?
Answer: ballistic stretching
●● What are the six skill-related components of fitness
Answer: balance, coordination, speed, power, agility, and reaction time
●● What is maximal heart rate?
, Answer: highest heart rate a person can achieve.
measured with a max HR test or estimated with 220- age.
●● What is heart rate reserve?
Answer: your maximal HR minus your resting heart rate.
●● ow is your HR lowered through compression in the water?
Answer: water compresses all the body systems, including the vascular
system, causing a smaller venous load to the heart, reducing heart rate.
●● What is the recommended frequency for resistance training?
Answer: two to three days/week for each major muscle group
●● What is body composition?
Answer: the body's relative percentage of fat as compared to lean tissue
(bones, muscles, and organs)
●● What are five benefits of regular exercise?
Answer: improves physical appearance
increases functional capacity
heart becomes stronger
strengthens the walls of the blood vessels
improves strength and endurance
