NASM CPT EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS. 1st class lever - Answer-fulcrum in middle (nodding head) 2nd class lever - Answer-resistance in the middle (calf raise) 3rd class lever - Answer-effort in the middle (biceps curl); most common in human limbs. 60% - Answer-The body is approximately what percent of water? 8 - Answer-drink how much extra oz of fluid for every 25 lbs overweight? Abduction - Answer-movement in the frontal plane away from the middle. Abnormal breathing patterns - Answer-associated with stress and anxiety; may result in headaches, fatigue, poor circulation, and/or poor sleep patterns. Active flexibility - Answer-improves extensibility of soft tissue and increases neuromuscular efficiency; reciprocal inhibition; use for Phases 2, 3, and 4 training. Active listening - Answer-having an attitude and genuine interest in seeking a client's perspective. Active-isolated stretching - Answer-uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move joints into a range of motion; reciprocal inhibition. Adduction - Answer-movement in the frontal plane toward the middle. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - Answer-energy storage and transfer unitwithin cells. Adequate intake (AI) - Answer-recommended average daily nutrient intake level adequate for healthy individuals. Aerobic - Answer-requires oxygen. aerobic glycolysis - Answer-A metabolic pathway that requires oxygen to facilitate the use of glycogen for energy (ATP) Agility - Answer-ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture. Alarm reaction - Answer-initial reaction to a stressor, activates protective processes in the body. Altered reciprocal inhibition - Answer-muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist. Amortization (transition) phase - Answer-transition between eccentric (loading) and concentric (unloading) muscle actions during plyometric movements; the faster the switch, the more powerful the concentric action. Anaerobic - Answer-without oxygen. Anaerobic threshold - Answer-where the body can no longer produce enough energy with normal oxygen intake. Anterior - Answer-front of body. Appendicular skeleton - Answer-upper and lower extremities, shoulder and pelvic girdles. arms fall forward (OHSA) - Answer-overactive: latissimus dorsi, teres major, pectoralis muscles underactive: middle/lower trapezius, rhomboids, rotator cuff Arteries - Answer-carry blood away from the heart. Arterioles - Answer-mall branches of arteries; end in capillaries Arthrokinematics - Answer-joint motion. Asking for the sale: - Answer-- Roam the floor; always be visible and available for clients. - Demonstrate value and build rapport by providing uncompromising customer service. - Never be afraid to ask for the sale; most sales are lost that are not asked for. - Keep in consistent contact with both current and potential clients. ATP-PC - Answer-- anaerobic - high intensity - lasts 10-15 seconds Atria - Answer-smaller, superior chambers of the heart; receive blood from veins auditory cuing - Answer-telling a client how to do the exercise Autogenic inhibition - Answer-neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract; provides inhibitory effect to muscle spindles.
