NSCA - CSCS - Chapter 2 Exam
Questions and Answers
A band of tough, inelastic fibrous tissues that connects a muscle with its bony
attachment - ANS-fibrous attachment
A body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it - ANS-weight
A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissues attaching a muscle to a
bone - ANS-tendon
A force opposite in direction to an accelerating force acting on a body; equal to the
product of the accelerating force and the mass of the body - ANS-inertial force
A form of acceleration training in which the athlete performs the sport movement with
less than normal and greater than normal resistance - ANS-bracketing technique
A form of fluid resistance that results from the way in which a fluid presses against the
front or rear of an object passing through it - ANS-form drag
A form of muscle attachment in which the epimysium is continuous with the perimysium
of the muscle - ANS-fleshy attachment
A lever for which the muscle force ad resistive force act on opposite sides of the fulcrum
- ANS-first-class lever
A lever for which the muscle force and resistive force act on the same side of the
fulcrum, with the muscle force acting through a moment arm shorter than that through
which the resistive force acts. The mechanical advantage is thus less than 1.0, so the
muscle force has to be greater than the resistive force to produce torque equal to that
produced by the resistive force - ANS-third class lever
A lever for which the muscle force and resistive forces act on the same side of the
fulcrum, with the muscle force acting through a moment arm longer than that through
which the resistive force acts. Due to its mechanical advantage, the required muscle
force is smaller than re resistive force - ANS-second-class level
A movement in which the glottis is closed, thus keeping air from escaping the lungs, and
the muscles of the abdomen and rib cage contract, creating rigid compartments of liquid
in the lower torso and air in the upper torso - ANS-Valsalva maneurver
