CPT NASM Exam Questions and Answers
1. An example of an eccentric motion: landing from a jump
2. What is neuromuscular efficiency: ability of the
neuromuscular system to en- able all muscles to efficiently work
together in all planes of motion
3. which energy system is used most when running a 10 sec
sprint: ATP-PC
4. bodys ability to differentiate between walking on concrete
and walking on sand is example of which function of nervous
system: sensory
5. during aerobic glycolysis, what molecule does pyruvic acid
convert to: -
acetyl coenzyme A
6. side effect of excess intake of vit D: calcification of arteries
7. which best describes a function of lipids in the body:
precursor to hormone production
8. where is sternum in relation to shoulder: medial
9. which micronutrient should be at low levels in a
multivitamin: calcium
10. prolonged intolerable stressor produces fatique and leads
to breakdown or injury: exhaustion
,11. which issue can be caused by an injury to low back:
decreased neural control to stabilizing muscles of core
12. movement of the arm or thigh in transverse plane from a
lateral position to an anterior position when joint is in an
anteriorly flexed position: horizontal adduction
13. ability of muscles to exert maximal power in minimal
amount of time: rate of force production
14. what occurs from performing he drawing in maneuver or
bracing: helps retain motor control of stabilization systems
15. what classifies a product as a supplement: non drug
substance in a pill or powder
16. life sustaining fluid that supplies organs with nutrients
and oxygen: blood
17. in what direction does internal rotation occur: toward the
middle
18. which adaptions should a cpt expect to observe in a client
who has regularly performed cardio for 4 weeks: improved
ability of muscles to use oxygen
19. in endocrine system which gland secretes hormones
such as corticos- teroids and catecholamines in response to
stress: adrenal gland
, 20. what receptors are sensitive to changes in muscle
tension and the rate of that change, protecting a muscle from
possible injury: golgi tendon organs
21. pressure within the arteries when heart is at rest: diastolic
22. receptors located in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and
joint capsules...are responsible for sensing distortion in
body tissue: Mechanoreceptors
23. true statement about skeletal muscle: its a voluntary
muscle
24. cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system
from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb
movement: propriocep- tion
25. series of vessels that transport blood from capillaries
toward heart: veins
26. what muscle should receive self myofascial release when
the knees move inward during overhead assessment:
adductors

body fat test: iliac crest ( edge of pelvic girdle )

present during height of the jump in butt kick exercise: Quads
