KIN 467 Test #2 || Mini Mastery Test: Score High
Fast!!
The muscle's ability to exert a maximal force on one occasion is defined as: correct answers
muscular strength
Traditionally, tests allowing ___ repetitions of a task prior to reaching muscular fatigue have
been considered
measures of strength. correct answers <3
Tests allowing ___ repetitions of a task prior to reaching muscular fatigue have been
considered measures of endurance. correct answers >12
What is the test that is considered the "gold standard" for dynamic strength assessment
correct answers 1-RM
Absolute muscular endurance is defined as: correct answers if the total number of repetitions
at a given
amount of resistance is measured
Relative muscular endurance is defined as: correct answers if the number of repetitions
performed at a percentage of the 1 RM
The push-up test evaluates an individual's _ correct answers "Absolute" muscular enduranc
The current issue of ACSM's Guidelines does not include guidelines for the curl-up test.
Explain why ACSM no longer includes the curl-up test guidelines. correct answers Recent
research suggestion that test may not be sensitive enough to grade performance and may
cause lower back injury. Most curl-up tests are only moderately related to abdominal
endurance and poorly related to abdominal strength.
Flexibility depends on several variables that include: correct answers distensibility of the
joint capsule, adequate warm up, muscle viscosity
The sit-and-reach test has been commonly used to asses flexibility of what part(s) of the
body? correct answers low back and hamstring flexibility
List 4 factors that ACSM suggests may contribute to low back pain: correct answers poor low
back and hip flexibility and poor abdominal strength or endurance
Any 1-repetition or multiple repetition max test should be completed only after the subject
has participated/completed correct answers familiarization/practice sessions
When determining an individual's 1-repetition or multiple repetition max:
• The maximal score should be determined when no more than __ trials have been completed.
• The individual should rest how long between trials?
• What 2 variables need to be consistent between trials? correct answers 4 trials
3 - 5 minutes
speed of movement & ROM
