CSCS UPDATED EXAMS TEST PAPER QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Carb Loading 3 days before event - ✔✔8-10 g carbs per kg of bw
✔✔Is carb loading gender specific? - ✔✔no, but it is tougher for females to consume
enough carbs to increase their glycogen storage
✔✔Endurance athlete food 4+ hours before competition - ✔✔1-4 g carbs per kg of bw
0.15-0.25 g protein per kg of bw
5-7 ml of fluid per kg of bw
✔✔Endurance athlete food intake 2 hours before competiton - ✔✔1 g carbs per kg of
bw
3-5 ml of fluid per kg of bw
✔✔endurance athlete food intake 1 hour until competition - ✔✔0.5 g of carbs per kg of
bw
8 oz of fluid
✔✔When should you eat prior to running and aerobic event? - ✔✔3 hours before
✔✔Knowledge of Performance - ✔✔- Tells athlete about their movement pattern
- Tips to improve
,✔✔Knowledge of Results - ✔✔- provides the athlete with information about the
execution of the task goal
- ex: telling one their sprint times compared to others
✔✔Augmented Feedback - ✔✔Provided by observer to athlete
✔✔Intrinsic Feedback - ✔✔- Provided by athletes from their senses
- Allows athlete to fine-tune and adjust movement
- Ex: sensory information when missing a box jump
✔✔Discovery - ✔✔Tells athlete goal without any instructions at all
✔✔Guided Discovery - ✔✔- Provides athlete with instructions about overall movement
goal, but does not explicitly tell them how to accomplish it
- Allows athlete to focus on task relevant cues
✔✔Explicit Instructions - ✔✔- Instructs athlete on how to perform a task
- Ex: during a squat, giving instructions about body position and movements
✔✔Observational Learning - ✔✔- Athlete watches, then performs
- Improves motor skills & technique
✔✔Variable Practice - ✔✔- Variations of the same skill are practiced
- Impairs performance at the time, but really helps improve a skill
✔✔Random Practice - ✔✔- Multiple skills practiced in random order
- Performance may decline at the time, but it facilitates learning.
✔✔Repetitive-part Training - ✔✔Athlete practices 1st part and continually adds a new
part
✔✔Progressive-part Training - ✔✔- Athlete practices the first 2 parts together
- Then practices just the 3rd part
- Then adds them all together
✔✔Why do people take B-blockers? - ✔✔They reduce anxiety and tremors during
performance; benefit archers/marksmen
✔✔Why do people take B-agonists? - ✔✔- They regulate lipolysis and thermogenesis
- increases lean mass and decreases stored fat
✔✔Homologous Blood doping - ✔✔The transfusion of someone else's blood
, ✔✔Autologous Blood doping - ✔✔The transfusion of one's own blood that has been
stored
✔✔Acrromegaly - ✔✔- A disfiguring disease caused by widening of bones, organ
enlargements, and metabolic abnormalities
- side effect of HGH
✔✔How do athletes usually take HGH? - ✔✔Usually stacked with anabolic steroids
✔✔Why do people use insulin as a steroid? - ✔✔- It facilitates the uptake of glucose
and amino acids into the cell
- increases the effects of GH and IGFs if stacked
✔✔When is HCG typically used? - ✔✔- When someone is at the end of a steroid cycle
- It helps re-activate their own testosterone production
✔✔Human Chorioinic Gonadotropin (HCG) - ✔✔- used for womens weight loss (doesn't
work)
- used for mens testosterone production (does work)
✔✔Do hormones actually provide anabolic effects? - ✔✔Research says no
✔✔Prohormones - ✔✔- A precursor to a hormone
- May increase the body's ability to produce a certain hormone
✔✔T/F: Experienced lifters using steroids will make more gains than a normal person
using steroids? - ✔✔True
✔✔Pure-part Training - ✔✔- Athlete practices each part of skill many times
independently
- After that, it is all practiced toether
✔✔Simplification Practice - ✔✔- Adjust tasks difficulty by changing characteristics such
as execution, speed, or equipment
- Ex: start snatch with PVC pipe
✔✔Fractionalization Practice - ✔✔- Breaks tasks into subcomponents that happen
simultaneously
- Ex: in push press, using your legs and press motion at the same time independently
✔✔Segmentation Practice - ✔✔- Breaks task into subcomponents with clear breaks
- Ex: breaks down steps of a snatch
✔✔Long-term Goals - ✔✔- Provide relevance to short-term goals
