Which of the following is an example of a stabilizing muscle role? - Answer The muscle of the
rotator cuff contracting along with the deltoids during an overhead shoulder press.
What term defines the cumulative change in motor behavior over a person's entire lifetime? -
Answer Motor development
What term describes a muscle acting as a primary mover? - Answer Agonist
A client with an Achilles tendon injury would be expected to have weakness in which of the
following muscles? - Answer Gastrocnemius
Which global muscle subsystem activates synergistically to control movement in the frontal
plane? - Answer Lateral
Performing a walking pattern with or without resistance is an example of activation for which
subsystem? - Answer Deep longitudinal
What are the common neurophysiological mechanisms of myofascial rolling that result in
decreased pain? - Answer Roller pressure may modulate pain through stimulation of muscle
and cutaneous receptors, afferent central nociceptive pathways (gate theory of pain), and
descending anti-nociceptive pathways (diffuse noxious inhibitory control)
A client had a knee surgery 3 weeks ago and wants to use a myofascial roller to decrease their
hamstring discomfort. What should the fitness professional consider before prescribing the
intervention? - Answer Myofascial rolling may be contraindicated and the client should
discuss with their physician first.
Can fitness professionals administer Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization to their
clients? - Answer In general, IASTM is a specialized treatment conducted by a trained
healthcare professional.
What is the recommended range of frequency (days per week) for self-myofascial rolling? -
Answer Performing myofascial rolling between two and five times per week may be enough
to experience benefits.
, Researchers suggested which of the following regarding research on most effective self-
myofascial rolling programs? - Answer There is currently a lack of consensus on optimal
myofascial rolling programs.
If the client has an underlying medical conditions that could be a contraindication, what is the
best course of action before having them use a self-myofascial roller? - Answer The client
should be cleared through an appropriately licensed medical professional before proceeding
with any myofascial techniques.
What are two common precautions to stretching? - Answer Hypertension and joint
replacement
What best describes the psycho-physiological concept of stretch tolerance? - Answer A client
can tolerate the level of discomfort during a prolonged stretch.
What is the optimal duration of stretching to decrease musculotendinous stiffness? - Answer
30-60 seconds
The isometric tempo should last approximately how long? - Answer 2 seconds
Greatest strength gains take place while the muscle is under resistance while doing which of the
following? - Answer Lengthening
Low sets and relatively light weights are needed to allow for the slow tempo and high repetition
range to provide mild stress to specific areas of the body that benefit from regular activations
with which of the following intensities? - Answer Low-level activations
Jamie demonstrated a posterior pelvic tilt during the overhead squat assessment. Which of the
following is an appropriate activation exercise for Jamie? - Answer Standing hip flexor
Which visual method should be used to observe a client during the static postural assessment? -
Answer Observe the client beginning with the feet and travel up to the head.
What are common underactive/lengthened muscles in the lower body? - Answer Rectus
abdominis, gluteus maximus, tibialis anterior, and peroneals
Which lower-body muscles are commonly overactive in the Kendall kyphosis-lordosis posture? -
Answer Internal obliques, hip flexors, and lumbar extensors
