PTS Canfitpro EXAM 2025/2026 WITH 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
1. At what length is a muscle able to generate the most amount of force?
muscle length does not affect a muscle's force generation capacity
when at longer than resting length
when at shorter resting length.
when at resting length
2. During exercise, stroke volume increases and plateaus at
50 - 70 % vo2 max
60 - 80 % vo2 max
30 - 50 % vo2 max
40 - 60 % vo2 max
3. If a 30-year-old individual uses the HRmax equation, what would their
calculated maximum heart rate be, and how might this information
influence their training intensity?
210 beats per minute; it means they can only perform low-intensity
exercises.
180 beats per minute; it shows they should focus on endurance
training.
200 beats per minute; it suggests they should avoid high-intensity
workouts.
,190 beats per minute; it indicates the upper limit for safe exercise
intensity.
,4. Which of the following options is NOT a component of good posture and
body alignment?
head centered over the body
arched lower back
rounded shoulders
opposing shoulders, hips, and knees of equal height
5. If an advanced client is currently exercising at an RPE of 12, what
adjustments should be made to meet the recommended intensity range?
Maintain the current intensity as it is sufficient.
Increase the intensity to reach an RPE of 13-16.
Decrease the intensity to reach an RPE of 10-12.
Change the exercise type to a lower intensity activity.
6. Describe the purpose of the prone upper body back extension exercise.
The prone upper body back extension exercise targets the lower
back muscles to improve strength and stability.
The prone upper body back extension exercise aims to increase
cardiovascular endurance.
The prone upper body back extension exercise focuses on the chest
muscles for hypertrophy.
The prone upper body back extension exercise is designed to
enhance flexibility in the hip joint.
7. Describe the significance of the carotid artery in medical assessments.
The carotid artery is primarily involved in digestion.
, The carotid artery is significant for measuring blood pressure and
assessing cardiovascular health.
The carotid artery is important for assessing muscle strength.
The carotid artery is used to measure oxygen levels in the blood.
8. Describe the significance of the resting heart rate in relation to overall
cardiovascular health.
A lower resting heart rate typically indicates better cardiovascular
fitness and efficiency.
Resting heart rate has no impact on cardiovascular health.
A higher resting heart rate is always better for athletic performance.
Resting heart rate is only important for athletes.
9. During a squat exercise, what joint movement occurs when the knees bend
and the hips lower?
extension
abduction
flexion
adduction
10. How is BMI calculated in imperial units?
BMI = weight (lbs) / height (inches)2 X 703
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)2
BMI = height (cm) / weight (kg)
BMI = height (m) / weight (kg)2
