NASM CPT-7 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Isotonic ANSW✅✅Muscle develops tension while visibly changing in length, ex- concentric and
eccentric
Isokinetic ANSW✅✅Speed of movement is fixed, only done in labs
Amortization ANSW✅✅Transition from eccentric loading to concentric unloading
Reciprocal Inhibition ANSW✅✅The simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of
its antagonist to allow movement to take place
