NCCPT Exam Test
Limit Strength - answer the maximum amount of musculoskeletal force generated under
the influence of aids
Absolute strength - answer amount of musculoskeletal force for one all out effort without
the use of aids
Explosive strength - answerability exert strength as rapidly as possible
Speed Strength - answer greatest possible impulse in the shortest amount of time
Starting strength - answerability recruit as many motor units as possible instantaneously
Linear strength endurance - answer sustained all out maximum effort over an extended
period of time
Nonlinear strength endurance - answerability perform an activity with exceeding
explosiveness over and over for an amount of time (intermittent periods of activity)
General strength - answer limit strength in all body movements and muscle groups
Special strength - answer specific to a sport/activity
Athletes' strength should be - answerable to squat and deadlift 2.5 times their
bodyweight
Factors affecting strengths - answer Anatomical
Physiological/Biochemical
Psychosocial
External
Part 1 of a strength curve - answer Eccentric portion
Part 2 of a strength curve - answer Amortization
