NASM PES QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS
Flexibility Ans: The normal extensibilty of all soft tissues that allows full
range of motion of a joint and optimum neuromuscular efficiency
throughout all functional movements.
Benefits of Integrated Flexibility Training Ans: -Decreased chance of
injury.
-Prevention of the development of Muscle down.
-Correction of existing muscle imbalance and joint dysfunction.
-improvement of posture and correct postural distortions.
-enhancement of strength, joint range of motion, and power.
Altered Reciprocal Inhibition Ans: The concept of muscle inhibition
caused by a tight agonist, decreasing the neural drive of its functional
antagonist.
Synergist Dominance Ans: The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs
when synergist take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime
mover.
Arthrokinetic Dysfunction Ans: The biomechanics dysfunction in two
articular partners that lead to abnormal joint movement
(arthrokinematics) and proprioception.
All-or-None Principle Ans: When a muscle fiber is stimulated to contract,
the entire fiber to contract, the entire fiber contracts completely.
Endomysium Ans: The innermost facial layer that encases individual
muscle fibers.
