NASM STUDY 2025 COMPLETE ACTUAL EXAM COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS || A+ GRADE ASSURED &lt; LATEST VERSION &gt; 1. Subjective Information - ANSWER Information that is gathered from a prospective client to give the health and fitness professional feedback regarding personal history such as occupation, lifestyle and medical background. 2. Program Design - ANSWER A purposeful system or plan put together to help an individual achieve a specific goal. 3. Biomechanics - ANSWER A study that uses principals of physics to quantitatively study how forces interact within a living body. 4. Dietary Supplement - ANSWER A substance that completes or makes an addition to daily dietary intake. 5. Autogenic Inhibition - ANSWER The process when neural impulses that sense tension is greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles. 6. Aerobic - ANSWER An action that occurs in the presence of oxygen 7. Pattern Overload - ANSWER Constantly repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stresses on the body. 8. Joint Receptors - ANSWER In and around joint capsule. Responds to pressure, acceleration and deceleration of joint. Signals extreme joint positions. Initiates reflexive inhibitory response in surrounding muscles. 9. Abduction - ANSWER Movement of a body part away from the middle of the body (in the frontal plane). 10. Axial skeleton - ANSWER skull, rib cage, vertebral column 80 bones 11. Adenosine triphosphate - ANSWER Cellular structure that serves as a storage and transfer unit within the cells of the body for energy 12. Adduction - ANSWER Movement of a body part towards the middle of the body (in the frontal plane). 13. Davis's Law - ANSWER States that soft tissue models along the lines of stress. 14. Power - ANSWER The ability to exert maximal force in the shortest amount of time 15. Respiratory system - ANSWER The system of the body responsible for taking in oxygen, excreting carbon dioxide, and regulating the relative compositions of the blood 16. Transverse Plane - ANSWER An imaginary bisector that divides the body into top and bottom halves. 17. Appendicular skeleton - ANSWER portion of the skeletal system that includes the upper and lower extremities 18. Muscular Endurance - ANSWER The ability of the body to produce low levels of force and maintain them for extended periods. 19. Internal Rotation - ANSWER Rotation of a joint toward the middle of the body. 20. Static stretching - ANSWER The process of passively taking a muscle to the point on tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 20 sec 21. Stability - ANSWER The ability of the body to maintain postural equilibrium and support joints during movements. 22. Inspiration - ANSWER The inhalation of air during the process of breathing 23. Anaerobic - ANSWER An action that is not dependent on oxygen for proper execution 24. External Rotation - ANSWER Rotation of a joint away from the middle of the body. 25. Strength Endurance - ANSWER The ability of the body to repeatedly produce high levels of force for prolonged periods. 26. Hypertrophy - ANSWER Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension 27. Active isolated Stretching - ANSWER The process of using agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion 28. Bones - ANSWER These form junctions that are connected by muscles and connective tissue. 29. Maximal Strength - ANSWER The maximum force that a muscle can produce in a single, voluntary effort, regardless of velocity. 30. Joints - ANSWER Sites where movement occurs as a result of muscle contraction. 31. Training Frequency - ANSWER The number of training sessions performed during a specified period (usually 1 week) 32. Arterioles - ANSWER Small terminal branches of an artery, which end in capillaries 33. Training Duration - ANSWER The time frame of a workout (including warm-up and cool-down) or the length of time spent in one phase of training. 34. Dynamic Stretching - ANSWER The active extension of a muscle, using force production and momentum, to move the joint through the full available range of motion uses reciprocal inhibition 1 set of 10 reps should be done 3 10 exercises 35. Exercise Selection - ANSWER The process of choosing appropriate exercises for a client's program. 36. Eccentric Muscle Action - ANSWER The lengthening of the muscle to a resting length. 37. Training Plan - ANSWER The specific outline, created by a fitness professional to meet a client's goals that details the form of training, length of time, future changes and specific exercises to be performed. 38. Venules - ANSWER The very small veins that connect capillaries to the larger veins 39. Annual Plan - ANSWER Generalized training plan that spans 1 year to show when the client will progress between phases. 40. Isometric Muscle Action - ANSWER No visible movement with or against resistance. Dynamically stabilizes force. 41. Posture - ANSWER The alignment and function of all components of the kinetic chain at any given moment. 42. Concentric Muscle Action - ANSWER Moving in the opposite direction of force. Accelerates or produces force while contracting the muscle 43. Depressions - ANSWER Flat/indented portion of bone which can be a muscle attachment site. Fossa, sulcus 44. Force - ANSWER An influence applied by one object to another, which results in an acceleration or deceleration of the second object. 45. Postural Equilibrium - ANSWER Maintaining a state of balance in the alignment of the kinetic chain. 46. Length-Tension Relationship - ANSWER The length at which a muscle can produce the greatest force. 47. Vertical Loading - ANSWER Performing exercises on the OPT template one after the other, in a vertical manner down the template. 48. Neuromuscular Efficiency - ANSWER The ability of the nervous system to communicate effectively with the muscular system.
