False
About 98% of the human body is composed of only six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
calcium, and phosphorous. (T/F) - True
The respiratory system is responsible for: - - Supplying oxygen to the body
- Eliminating carbon dioxide in the body

In a concentric contraction, the muscle lengthens to produce movements. (T/F) - False
Kinesiology is: - The science or study of human movement, and the active and passive structures
involved
An isometric contraction is when: - A muscle does not lengthen or shorten as it contracts
True synergy occurs when a muscle contracts to stop the secondary action of another muscle. (T/F) -
True
An example of an antagonist muscle is: - Triceps during a biceps curl
Adduction is a movement of a body part away from the midline of the body. (T/F) - False
An example of flexion is the: - Concentric action of a bicep curl
Flexion mainly occurs in which plane? - sagittal plane

The ability to perceive your position and movement of the body or limbs in space is known as: -
Kinesthesis
A second-class lever is similar to a wheelbarrow. (T/F) - True
The faster the work is done during a movement, the lesser the amount of power. (T/F) - False
Posture is solely viewed in static positions, such as sitting, standing, or lying down. (T/F) - False
