CORRECT ANSWERS) /ALREADY GRADED

Question 1
Which plane of motion divides the body into left and right
halves, and which movement occurs primarily in this plane
during a side lunge?
A) Sagittal plane – hip flexion
B) Frontal plane – hip adduction/abduction
C) Transverse plane – hip rotation
D) Frontal plane – spinal rotation
,Page 2 of 245
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The frontal plane divides the body into anterior
and posterior halves. Side lunging involves hip abduction
(moving leg away from midline) and adduction (returning),
both frontal plane movements.
Question 2
During a push-up, which type of contraction occurs in the
pectoralis major during the lowering (eccentric) phase?
A) Concentric
B) Isometric
C) Eccentric
D) Isokinetic
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Eccentric contraction occurs when the muscle
lengthens under tension. In a push-up lowering phase, the
pectoralis major lengthens while controlling the descent.

Question 3 (Scenario)
A participant complains of anterior knee pain during squats.
Which of the following form corrections is MOST appropriate?
A) Allow knees to travel past toes
B) Widen stance and keep weight on heels
C) Increase squat depth below parallel
D) Add a jump at the top of the squat
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Widening stance and keeping weight on heels
reduces excessive patellofemoral joint stress. Letting knees
travel past toes without proper control can increase pain.
Deeper squats or jumping would exacerbate symptoms.
Question 4
Which muscle is the primary agonist during a seated row
exercise?
, Page 4 of 245
A) Pectoralis major
B) Latissimus dorsi
C) Rectus abdominis
D) Deltoid
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The latissimus dorsi is the primary mover in
horizontal pulling movements like seated rows, responsible for
shoulder extension and adduction.
Question 5
What is the prime mover in a standing overhead press?
A) Triceps brachii
B) Deltoid
C) Trapezius
D) Serratus anterior
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The deltoid (particularly anterior and middle
