1. Essential body fat for women - ANSWER ✔ 12%
2. Essential body fat for men - ANSWER ✔ 3%
3. Three functions of body fat - ANSWER ✔ Insulation, energy, padding
4. Where to do the skinfold test on women - ANSWER ✔ triceps, the
suprailiac, and the thigh
5. Where to do the skinfold test on men - ANSWER ✔ chest, abdomen, and
thigh
6. Recommended body fat for 40 year old woman - ANSWER ✔ 23 - 33%
7. Recommended body fat for 40 year old man - ANSWER ✔ 11 - 21%
8. Variable used the in Body Mass Index - ANSWER ✔ Height and weight
,9. Android obesity stores body fat where? - ANSWER ✔ In the abdomen and
is a higher health risk
10.After 25, how much is gained per year? - ANSWER ✔ 1 to 2 pounds
11.Pronation in the foot will lead to... - ANSWER ✔ tight calves
12.Pronation could lead to pain here - ANSWER ✔ lower back
13.Excessive bend in knees is often caused by ... - ANSWER ✔ tight
hamstrings
14.Lower cross syndrome can lead to ... - ANSWER ✔ low back pain
15.The Practical Application Workbook - ANSWER ✔ not just a reference
manual but a practical guide that shows the student trainer the concepts,
proper range of motion and body mechanics that will enable them to become
successful and standout among their peers in the industry.
16.Anatomical position - ANSWER ✔ is the starting position for the analysis of
movement for the human body.(The hands are lateral to the medial elbow.)
17.Planes of Motion - ANSWER ✔ 1. Sagittal plane - divides the human body
in half from left to right so that flexion and extension can occur. For
movement within this plane, the resistance must come from below the elbow
during a standing biceps curl. If bent-over, the resistance must come from
directly behind the new position.
, 2. Frontal plane - divides the body in half from front to back. In this plane,
one can perform adduction and abduction. If standing, the resistance and the
fight against gravity come from the direction and gravitational pull of the
earth.
3. Transverse plane - divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior
(lower) segments. In these planes one can perform all rotations such as
internal and external rotations as well as horizontal movements. A sport such
as golf would involve performing movements in the Transverse planes of
motion.
18.Anser - ANSWER ✔ Align the Joints before engaging a load. This is crucial
because alignment distributes the load to the desired core muscle as opposed
to a weaker area not intended to be loaded.
19.aNser - ANSWER ✔ Neutral Spine must be maintained for protecting all
joints and muscle systems while exercising to disperse the load off of the
spine.
20.anSer - ANSWER ✔ Square the Hips and Shoulders before performing
many resistance training exercises for safe practice.
21.ansEr - ANSWER ✔ Engage Muscles While Under Load. It takes only a
quarter of a second to obtain whiplash, so it is important to be mentally and
physically prepared to accept responsibility for the weight prior to beginning
an exercise.
22.anseR - ANSWER ✔ Retract Shoulder Blades. Make sure the shoulders are
depressed before lifting and also while performing most other exercises.
, 23.The benefit of using ANSER - ANSWER ✔ not limited to gym-based
training. In addition to sport specific training and powerlifting, individuals
performing everyday tasks may sustain bodily damage if not following these
principles. Using ANSER in our daily lives, as well as when we are
exercising will go a long way toward preventing injuries.
24.THE RISK/BENEFIT EQUATION (R/BE) - ANSWER ✔ NAFC original
concept pertaining to the constant and possibly dangerous variables a
personal trainer faces while recommending and working with a diverse
client base. (safety)
25.The Assisted Pull-up - ANSWER ✔ primarily targets and develops the
latissimus dorsi while stabilizing the shoulder girdle. The desired action is
adduction at the shoulder on the concentric phase of contraction without
locking out at the elbow on the eccentric phase of muscle contraction.
26.The Cable Lat Pull-down - ANSWER ✔ below has less risk than the Pull-up
or Assisted Pull-up, but requires less demand on the muscle stabilizers and
targeted muscles.
27.Internal Rotation - ANSWER ✔ occurs when the pull down action is
performed beyond the normal ROM of adduction at the shoulder.
28.Watch for locking out... - ANSWER ✔ at the elbow in the eccentric phase of
the simulation of any pull-up, assisted pull-up, and cable lat pull down. The
picture illustrates the activation of the trapezius I and II which elevates the
shoulder girdle hence not following ANSER.
29.T-Bar and Mid Back Row - ANSWER ✔ target the trapezius III and the
deeper rhomboids. One must focus on not locking out at the elbow in the
