NASM PES Exam Questions & Answers 100% Verified (Grade A+)
1. Flexibility The normal extensibilty of all soft tissues that allows full range of motion of a joint
and optimum neuromuscular eflciency throughout all functional movements.
2. Benefits of Inte- -Decreased chance of injury.
grated Flexibility -Prevention of the development of Muscle down.
Training -Correction of existing muscle imbalance and joint dysfunction.
-improvement of posture and correct postural distortions.
-enhancement of strength, joint range of motion, and power.
3. Altered Recipro- The concept of muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist, decreasing the neural
cal Inhibition drive of its functional antagonist.
4. Synergist Domi- The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergist take over the function
nance of a weak or inhibited prime mover.
5. Arthrokinetic The biomechanics dysfunction in two articular partners that lead to abnormal joint
Dysfunction movement (arthrokinematics) and proprioception.
6. All-or-None Prin- When a muscle fiber is stimulated to contract, the entire fiber to contract, the entire
ciple fiber contracts completely.
7. Endomysium The innermost facial layer that encases individual muscle fibers.
8. Perimysium The sheath that binds groups of muscle fibers into fasciculi.
9. Epimysium The outermost layer of a muscle fiber.
10. Atrophy The loss in muscle fiber size.
11. Sarcopenia A decrease in muscle fiber number.
12. Effects of immo- 1. Altered length-tension relationship
bilization 2. Altered force-couple relationship
3. Altered arthrokinematics
