more.
2 Forms:
-Active- Added force is applied by the individual
-Passive- Added force is applied by an external force
Dynamic Stretching - correct-answer--Continuous movement patterns that mimic
the exercise or sport to be performed.
-Purpose is to improve flexibility for a given sport or activity
Depression - correct-answer-Moving to INFERIOR position (only at the scapula)
Inversion - correct-answer-Lifting MEDIAL border of foot
,2|Page
Eversion - correct-answer-Lifting LATERAL border of foot
Rotation - correct-answer-INTERNAL (inward) or EXTERNAL (outward) turning
about the vertical axis of the bone
Pronation - correct-answer-Rotation the hand and wrist MEDIALLY from the bone
Supination - correct-answer-Rotating the hand and wrist LATERALLY from bone
Horizontal Flexion (ADDuction) - correct-answer--From 90-degree abducted arm
position, humerus is flexed (adducted) toward the midline in transverse plane
Horizontal Extension (ABduction) - correct-answer-Return of humerus from
horizontal flexion
Body Mass Index (BMI) - correct-answer--Assesses client's body composition.
-Compares body weight to height
-Determines # that indicates underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

- ... = Weight(kg)/Height(m)^2
Converting Lbs into Kg = (Lbs/2.2)
Converting Inches to Meters = (Inches x 2.54) / 100
Underweight - correct-answer-BMI <18.5
Normal Weight - correct-answer-BMI of 18.5-24.9
Overweight - correct-answer-BMI of 25.0-29.9
Grade 1 Obesity - correct-answer-BMI of 30.0-34.9
Grade 2 Obesity - correct-answer-BMI of 35.0-39.9
Grade 3 Obesity - correct-answer-BMI >40

Rapport - correct-answer--Mutual understanding and trust a trainer and client
seek to establish their 1st time meeting
-Foundation of ACE IFT model
Cardiovascular System - correct-answer--Delivers O2 and nutrients body's tissues
-Removes waste (CO2 and other metabolic waste products)
-Closed circuit system made up of HEART, BLOOD VESSELS, BLOOD
1) Freshly oxygenated blood leaves lungs & enters LEFT side of heart through
pulmonary veins
2)Blood enters LEFT ATRIUM, travels through MITRAL VALVE and into LEFT
VENTRICLE
3) Blood leaves LEFT VENTRICLE, travels through AORTIC VALVE & up into AORTA
4) Blood enters AORTA & then is distributed through body (but not to the lungs)
5) Blood travels from ARTERIES, to ARTERIOLES, to CAPILLARIES (where O2 is
transferred to working muscles), to VENULES, to VEINS, & back to heart.
6) Blood (now de-O2) returns to heart via SUPERIOR & INFERIOR VENA CAVA
7) Blood enters RIGHT ATRIUM from SUPERIOR/INFERIOR VENA CAVA, then
through TRICUSPID VALVE to RIGHT VENTRICLE
8) Blood leaves RIGHT VENTRICLE & goes into RIGHT/LEFT PULMONARY ARTERIES
(take it back to LUNGS to pick up more O2)
Respiratory System - correct-answer--Provides a means to replace O2 and remove
CO2 from the blood.
