NASM CPT-7 QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Pro shuttle test ANSW✅✅Assesses acceleration, deceleration, agility, and control
OPT model ANSW✅✅1. Stabilization endurance
2. Strength endurance
3. Muscular development
4. Maximal strength
5. Power
Flexibility ANSW✅✅The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full range of motion
of a joint
Synergistic Dominance ANSW✅✅When synergists take over function for a weak or inhibited
prime movers.
static stretching ANSW✅✅a technique in which a muscle is slowly and gently stretched and then
held in the stretched position for 30 seconds for 1-3 sets
active stretching ANSW✅✅Using agonists and synergist to dynamically love the joint into a ROM,
holding for 1-2 seconds and repeating 5-10 reps
Dynamic stretching ANSW✅✅Stretching that involves moving the joints through their full range of
motion to mimic a movement. 1 set, 10-15 reps, 3-10 exercises
Exercise sessions should consist of 3 phases: ANSW✅✅Warm up
Conditioning
Cool down
Stage 1 workout ANSW✅✅Designed to help improve cardiorespiratory fitness levels using a
target intensity blow VT1, involves steady state aerobic exercise
, Stage 2 workout ANSW✅✅Consists of a mix of recovery intervals just below VT1 (moderate
intensity) and work intervals just above VT1 (challenging to hard intensity)
stage 3 workout ANSW✅✅Client in and out of zones 1, 2, and 3
Stage 4 workout ANSW✅✅Internal training integrating all 4 zones
Stage 5 workout ANSW✅✅Focuses on drills that help improve conditioning using linear,
multidirectional, and sport specific activities
The core ANSW✅✅LPHC, and local and global core musculature
local core muscles ANSW✅✅Attach on or near the vertebrae, provide dynamic control of the
spinal segments, limiting excessive compression, shear, and rotational forces between spinal
segments
Global core muscles ANSW✅✅Superficial one the trunk, act to move the trunk, transfer loads
between upper and lower extremities, and private stability of the spine
Static balance ANSW✅✅Stationary balanxe
Semi-Dynamic Balance ANSW✅✅Base of supporting body is in movement (ex; riding a
skateboard)
dynamic balance ANSW✅✅Balance maintained while moving
plyometric training ANSW✅✅A form of exercise that uses explosive movements. Develops
efficient control and production of ground fraction forces.
Stretch shortening phases of plyometric training ANSW✅✅Eccentric/loading phase,
amortization/transition phase, concentric/unloading ohase
