Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Exam Questions AND Correct
Answers
1 Rep Max Test - ✔✔measures the maximal amount of weight lifted for a single
repetition
1.5 mile run - ✔✔athletes complete run as quickly as possible at a steady pace
that they can barely maintain over the distance. time is recorded and then
compared on corresponding table to estimate VO2 max
12 minute run - ✔✔This test should be performed on a 400 m track or flat
course with markers every 100 m.
-Athletes travel as far as possible in 12 minutes.
-The distance covered by athletes (e.g., 5.25 laps × 400 m = 2,100 m) should be
calculated and recorded.
2-For-2 Rule - ✔✔A conservative method that can be used to increase an
athlete's training loads; if the athlete can perform two or more repetitions over
his or her assigned repetition goal in the last set in two consecutive workouts
for a given exercise, weight should be added to that exercise for the next
training session.

3. Buttocks are placed evenly on bench
4.Right foot is flat on the floor

5 Steps of Aerobic Training Program - ✔✔Exercise Mode, Training frequency,
Training Intensity, Exercise duration, Exercise progression
7-site skin fold test - ✔✔chest, midaxillary, suprailiac, abdominal, triceps,
subscapular, and thigh
Activating and mobilizing (second phase) - ✔✔involves stretching component of
warmup. involves key movement patterns required for athletic performance
Active Stretch - ✔✔Person stretching supplies the force of the stretch
Agonist Contraction - ✔✔primary muscles that contract to move or rotate a
bone
Analyze Health Risks Like - ✔✔Coronary Disease and other factors that can
