AFAA Primary Group Exercise Certification Practice Test 2022/2023

AFAA Primary Group Exercise Certification Practice Test 2022/2023What is the purpose of this exercise? Consider: muscular strength or endurance, cardiorespiratory conditioning, flexibility, warm-up or activity preparation, skill development, and stress reduction (One of AFAA's Five Questions) Are you doing that effectively? Consider: proper range, speed, or body position against gravity (One of AFAA's Five Questions) Does the exercise create any safety concerns? Consider: potential stress areas, environmental concerns, or movement control (One of AFAA's Five Questions) Can you maintain proper alignment and form for the duration of the exercise? Consider: form, alignment, or stabilization (One of AFAA's Five Questions) For whom is the exercise appropriate or inappropriate? Consider: risk-to-benefit ratio; whether the exerciser is at a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level of fitness; and any limitations reported by the class participant To evaluate the effectiveness (benefits) and potential risk (injury quotient) What is the purpose of AFAA's Five Questions? C The function of _______________ is to sense the degree of tension and the length of the muscle. a) sarcomeres b) motor units c) proprioceptors d) rotators A A movement that performs shoulder horizontal abduction is a: a) high row b) curl c) overhead press d) plie B Which of the following exercises does NOT feature the hamstrings as a prime mover? a) Squats b) Leg Extension c) Lunge d) Leg curls D Which of the following exercises features the pectorals as a prime mover? a) Pushups b) Pectoral flyes c) Overhead press d) A and B e) All of the above C AFAA recommends that recover heart rate be taken ___________ of aerobic work. a) within 1-2 minutes b) 4-6 minutes after the beginning c) 3-5 minutes upon conclusion d) 8-10 minutes in the middle Survey, Assessment, Prioritization, Implementation What does the SAPI approach to emergencies stand for? Intermittent The ________ training method is also known as variable intensity or spontaneous training HRmax - resting HR What is heart rate reserve (HRR)? 140 mmHg/90 mmHg What is the minimum blood pressure for hypertension? 3 times a week, 10-15 minutes What is a good starting frequency and duration for large-sized participants? 1) What is the most effective position i which to work this muscle group considering the weight distribution? 2) Is the spine protected? 3) What is the leverage to be considered? 4) What is a reasonable speed of movement? 5) What is a reasonable range of motion? What are some questions to consider for large-sized participants? True True or False: A humid exercise environment is best for asthmatic participants. Osteoarthritis is the wearing away of cartilage while rheumatoid arthritis is caused by an inflammation of the membrane surrounding the joints. What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis? Fatigue, anemia, amenorrhea, overuse or stress-related injuries, increased resting heart rate, slower recovery of heart rate, decrease in strength performance, constant muscle or joint soreness on effort or motion Name the signs and symptoms of overtraining. 1) Increased maximal blood flow - forces the left ventricle to pump more, making it more effective 2) Increased oxygen delivery/CO2 removal - to balance that acidity that CO2 creates with intense exercise 3) Increased maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power - more developed capillaries with exercise means more oxygen uptake to muscles List three physiological adaptations that occur to improve exercise performance and state how or why improvement occurs. ATP-CP/phosphagen system: 20 seconds or less Lactic acid system: 45-90 seconds Aerobic system: longer than 90 seconds List the durations for the three energy pathways. Vital capacity the amount of air that can be moved in one breath ATP-CP/phosphagen system: Creatine phosphate (CP) Lactic acid system: ATP, glucose from blood Aerobic system: ATP, glucose, fat, protein Name the fuel sources of the three energy pathways.
