Dysfunction in intrinsic core stabilizers (transverse abdomens and multifidus) can result in
which of the following? - ANS Sacroiliac instability and lowback pain.
Performing a walking pattern with or without resistance is an example of activation for which
subsystem - ANS Deep Longitudinal
Sacroiliac - ANS relating to the sacrum and the ilium.
denoting the rigid joint at the back of the pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium.
Transverse Adominis - ANS This muscle is the deepest of the abdominal group and helps with
breathing but more importantly it activates the core and stabilizes the pelvis and low back
during most movements. Ribs 7-12 anterior 2 thirds of the iliac crest of the pelvis and
thoracolumbar fascia. Increases intra-abdominal pressure. supports the abdominal viscera.
Isometrically stabilizes the LPHC.
Multifidus - ANS Posterior aspect of the sacrum. Processes of the lumbar, thoracic, and
cervical spine. Spinous processes one to four segments above the origin. Concentrically
accelerates spinal extension and contralateral rotation. Eccentrically decelerates spinal flexion
and rotation. Isometrically stabilizes the spine.
Deep Longitudinal Subsystem (DLS) - ANS primarily responsible for force transmission
longitudinally from the trunk to the ground. Erector spinae, Thoracolumbar fascia,
Sacrotuberous ligament, Biceps Femoris, Peroneus longus,

Supraspinatus - ANS Abducts arm; stabilizes the head of the humerus in glenoid cavity; one
of the "rotator cuff" muscles
The supraspinatus is responsible for which eccentric action? - ANS Adduction of the arm.
Global muscular system (Movement System) - ANS Muscles responsible predominantly for
movement, important in transferring and absorbing forces form the upper and lower
extremities to to the pelvis, and consist of more superficial musculature that originates from
the pelvis to the rib cage, the lower extremities, or both
Which Global muscle subsystem functions in the transverse plane and helps stabilize the front
side of the LPCH? - ANS Anterior Oblique
The Four Muscle Subsystems - ANS There are four basic muscle synergies in the human body
- The Lateral System, The Deep Longitudinal, Posterior Oblique, and Anterior Oblique. Even
though these muscle subsystems are classified individually, it is important to remember that
they must recruit and activate in a cohesive manner.
Can Fitness professionals administer instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to their
clients. - ANS In general, IASTM is a specialized conducted by a trained healthcare
professional.
What is the recommended number of active movements to include in Step 2 of the myofascial
rolling program? - ANS 4 to 6
Recent research pointed out that potential precautions and contraindications for myofascial
rolling have not been thoroughly documented. Therefore, precautions and contraindications
have been taken from which of the following? - ANS Related myofascial therapies

What is the minimum duration of stretching per week for each muscle group to improve or
maintain a healthy ROM? - ANS 5 mins
What is the recommended duration for static stretching for older adults? - ANS 60 secs
A Corrective Exercise Specialist is implementing a static stretching program with a youth
basketball team. What are the recommended acute training variables this type of stretching? -
ANS Hold 20-30 sec and repeat 1-4 reps daily
How does the concept of tissue creep relate to stretching? - ANS Creep is the capacity of
fascia and other tissue to lengthen when subjected to a constant tension load resulting in less
resistance to a second load application. A progressive deformation occurs over time.
Prolonged stretching can lead to a permanent length change in muscles and tendons.
Activation exercises may not be considered normal but are designed to provide isolated
strengthening to specific muscles prior to moving into an integrated movement pattern by
placing joints in the best position for what? - ANS Preferential activation.
Low sets and relatively light weights are needed to allow for the slow tempo and high repetition
range to provide mild stress to specific areas of the body that benefit from regular activations
with what following intensities? - ANS Low-Level activations
Greatest strength gains take place while the muscle is under resistance while doing which of
the following? - ANS Lengthening
The Isometric temp should last approximately how long? - ANS 2 secs
Which phase of the muscle action spectrum is the slowest during corrective exercise? -
ANS Eccentric
