NASM CES EXAM REVIEW SOLVED
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
SHEET
●● What is the 3 step corrective exercise process
Answer: 1. identify the problem (integrated assessment)
2. solve the problem (corrective program design)
3. implement the solution (exercise technique)
●● What are the 4 phases of the corrective exercise continuum
Answer: 1. inhibitory phase
2. lengthen phase
3. activation phase
4. integration phase
●● What is the first phase of the corrective exercise continuum?
Answer: The Inhibitory Phase: Inhibitory
techniques are used to release tension or decrease activity of overactive
neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
●● What is the second phase of the corrective exercise continuum?
Answer: The Lengthen Phase: Lengthening techniques
,are used to increase the extensibility, length, and range of motion (ROM)
of neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
●● What is the third phase of the corrective exercise continuum?
Answer: The Activation Phase: Activation techniques are used to
reeducate
or increase activation of underactive tissues.
●● What is the fourth phase of the corrective exercise continuum?
Answer: The Integration Phase: Integration techniques are used to
retrain the collective synergistic function of all muscles through
functionally progressive movements through
the use of integrated dynamic movements.
●● What is the length-tension relationship?
Answer: The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can
produce at this resting length.
●● What is the force velocity curve?
Answer: the relationship of a muscle's ability to produce tension at
differing shortening velocities
●● What is force-couple?
, Answer: the synergistic action of muscles to produce movement around
a joint
●● What are agonists?
Answer: muscles that act as the prime mover
●● What are antagonists?
Answer: muscles that work in direct opposition to the prime movers
●● What are synergists?
Answer: muscles that assist prime movers during functional movement
patterns
●● What are stabilizers?
Answer: muscles that support or stabilize the body while the agonists
and synergists perform the movement patterns
●● What is the local muscular system (stabilization systems)
Answer: consists of muscles that are predominantly
involved in joint support or stabilization
●● What is the global muscular systems (movement systems)
Answer: are responsible predominantly for movement and
