NCSF EXAM 2025/2026 WITH 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
1. Which hormone is responsible for carbohydrate, protein, and fat
metabolism, protein synthesis, sensitivity to epinephrine, heart rate,
breathing rate, body temperature, and the basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
thyroid hormones
insulin-like growth factor
growth factor
calcitonin
2. Describe the significance of understanding contralateral positioning in
human anatomy and fitness training.
Contralateral positioning is irrelevant in fitness training.
Contralateral positioning refers to muscle endurance only.
Contralateral positioning only applies to joint mechanics.
Understanding contralateral positioning helps in designing
balanced training programs that engage opposing muscle
groups.
3. Which of the following is designed to increase joint range of motion
(ROM), improve muscle imbalances, and correct altered joint motion?
Passive flexibility
Functional flexibility
Active flexibility
Corrective flexibility
,4. What is the full name of the compound abbreviated as ADP?
, Adenosine phosphate
Adenine monophosphate
Adenosine triphosphate
5. Describe the role of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in the energy
production process within cells.
ADP plays a crucial role in energy production by serving as a
precursor to ATP, which is the primary energy carrier in cells.
ADP is synthesized from glucose during cellular respiration.
ADP is responsible for the breakdown of proteins in muscle
tissue.
ADP is a waste product of energy metabolism that does not
participate in ATP synthesis.
6. Describe the role of diffusion in the respiratory system and its
importance for cellular function.
Diffusion allows oxygen to move from areas of higher
concentration in the lungs to lower concentration in the blood,
facilitating oxygen delivery to cells.
Diffusion is responsible for nutrient absorption in the digestive
system.
Diffusion helps in the filtration of blood in the kidneys.
Diffusion is the process by which carbon dioxide is expelled from
the body.
7. What is the term for the inferior chamber of the heart that pumps blood
into the arteries?
Atrium
, Aorta
Vein
Ventricle
8. What is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system?
Neuron
Axon
Dendrite
Synapse
9. Describe the significance of the SA Node in maintaining heart function.
The SA Node helps in the contraction of heart muscles by
providing nutrients.
The SA Node is crucial for setting the rhythm of the heart by
generating electrical impulses.
The SA Node is responsible for the exchange of gases in the
blood.
The SA Node prevents blood from flowing back into the atria.
10. What term is used to describe two exercises performed back-to-back
in rapid succession with minimal to no rest?
Interval
Circuit
Superset
Giant set
