NCCPT FULL MIDTERM REVIEW TEST QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
a personal trainer must be well versed in
biomechanics, nutrition, joint structure, kinesiology
a personal trainer is
a empathetic teacher of the movement and functions who professionally motivates, plans,
monitors
3 methods of teaching fitness

gym etiquette
wipe down, let people work in, no weights in stretching area, keep weight room clear of

,3 muscle contractions
concentric, eccentric, isometric
concentric
muscle shortens. working part (ex. going up on squats)
eccentric
lengthening of muscle. doing nothing (ex. going down on squats)
isometric
no change in muscle length under tension. (ex. walking/running)

systole
contraction
diastole
ventricular filling
normal blood pressure =
120/80
120 = systole
80 = diastole
