AEA: CERTIFICATION EXAM UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS.
Physical Fitness - ANS the ability of the body's physical parts to function, and is measured by
the level at which these physical parts are capable of functioning
What are the five primary components of fitness? - ANS 1) Cardiorespiratory endurance
2) Muscular Strength
3) Muscular Endurance
4) Flexibility
5) Body Composition
Cardiorespiratory endurance - ANS The capacity of the cardiovascular and respiratory
systems to deliver oxygen to the working muscles for sustained periods of energy production
Muscular Strength - ANS The maximum force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle
group against a resistance
Muscular Endurance - ANS The capacity of a muscle to exert force repeatedly or to hold a
fixed or static contraction over time
Flexibility - ANS The ability of limbs to move at the joints through a normal range of motion

, Body composition - ANS The body's relative percentage of fat as compared to lean tissue
(bones, muscle, and organs)
What are the six skill-related components of fitness? - ANS 1) Balance
2) Coordination
3) Speed
4) Power
5) Agility
6) Reaction Time
Balance - ANS Controlling the position of the body's center of gravity, or maintenance of
equilibrium while stationary (static balance) or moving (dynamic balance).
Coordination - ANS The integration of many separate motor skills or movements into one
efficient pattern
Speed - ANS The rate at which a movement or activity can be performed
Power - ANS A function of strength and speed. The ability to transfer energy into force at a
quick rate.
Agility - ANS The ability to rapidly and fluently change body positioning during movement
Reaction Time - ANS The amount of time elapsed between stimulation and acting upon the
stimulus
What are the fitness programming and design components for the ACSM guidelines and
reccomendations? - ANS 1) Mode of training (or exercise)
