NASM CES COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
STUDY GUIDE
●● Corrective Exercise Continuum
Answer: The systematic programming process
used to address neuromusculoskeletal
dysfunction through the use of inhibitory,
lengthening, activation, and integration
techniques
●● Inhibitory techniques
Answer: Corrective exercise techniques used to release
tension or decrease activity of overactive
neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
●● Lengthening techniques
Answer: Corrective exercise techniques used to
increase the extensibility, length, and range
of motion of neuromyofascial tissues in the
body.
,●● Activation techniques
Answer: Corrective exercise techniques used
to reeducate or increase activation of
underactive tissues.
●● Corrective exercise techniques used to
retrain the collective synergistic function of
all muscles through functionally progressive
movements.
Answer: Integration techniques
●● the International Obesity Task Force
Answer: In 1985, deemed the prevalence of obesity________________
an epidemic
●● one third 33%
Answer: Today, approximately _______ of adults are estimated to be
obese
●● overweight
Answer: 18% of today's adolescents and teenagers are considered
,●● 40 years ago
Answer: Research suggests that musculoskeletal pain is more common
now than it was__________because of the advancements of technology
and manuallabor-saving
devices.
●● 1 million ambulatory care (doctor) visits per year
Answer: In the general population, plantar fasciitis accounts for more
than
●● $26 billion
Answer: It has been estimated that the annual costs attributable to low-
back pain in the
United States are greater than
●● 21% of the general population
Answer: Shoulder pain is reported to occur in up to
●● higher the risk of injury?
Answer: The less conditioned our musculoskeletal systems are, the
higher the risk of injury?
, ●● R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compress, elevate).
Answer: According to the text, a comprehensive corrective exercise
strategy using the
Corrective Exercise Continuum includes all of the following steps
EXCEPT:
●● Biomechanics
Answer: A study that uses principles of physics
to quantitatively study how forces
interact within a living body
●● Force
Answer: An influence applied by one object to another, which results in
an acceleration or deceleration of the second object.
●● Rotary motion
Answer: Movement of the bones around the joints
●● Torque
Answer: A force that produces rotation
●● Antagonists
Answer: Muscles that act in direct opposition to prime movers
