NSCA CSCS Exam Solved 100% Correct__ __ accomplishes high rates of work. Anaerobic systems need shorter work intervals
with small work-rest ratios (5-10s with 1:15 ratio). Aerobic systems require longer work
intervals with larger work-rest ratios (1-3m with 1:1 ratio). - ANS-interval training
__ __ can improve high-intensity exercise performance, but is associated with
unpleasant side effects consistent with GI discomfort. - ANS-sodium bicarbonate
__ is the ability to maintain equilibrium, and __ is the ability to return to a desired
position following a disturbance to the system. - ANS-balance, stability
__-__ will not improve single-event performance to the same magnitude as mode-
specific training only. - ANS-Cross-training

change
1. select appropriate tests. 2. conduct tests in proper order with proper rest. 3.
administer tests with as many athletes as possible. 4. determine smallest worthwhile
change and store data. 5. conduct repeat testing and use results to create visual profile.

1RM testing protocol has __ phases: the first is to warm-up with light resistance for 5-10
reps, followed by a 1-minute rest. The second is an additional warm-up round, with an
added 10-20 lbs for upper body/30-40 lbs for lower body for 3-5 reps, followed by a 2-
minute rest. The third phase adds an additional load following the same guidelines as
the second phase for a near-maximal set of 2-3 reps with a 2- to 4-minute rest. The
fourth phase is the 1RM attempt, and adds an additional load following the same
guidelines as before. This fourth phase can be repeated until failure. Upon failure,
phase five requires an additional 2- to 4-minute rest with an addition of half the previous
guidelines regarding increased load. - ANS-five phases

collected data. - ANS-measurement, evaluation
A __-__ lever describes forces acting on opposite sides of the fulcrum. - ANS-first-class
A __-__ lever describes forces on the same side of the fulcrum, but the muscle force
has a longer moment arm than the resistive force. - ANS-second-class
A __-__ lever describes forces on the same side of the fulcrum, but the muscle force
has a shorter moment arm than the resistive force. - ANS-third-class
A combination of LSD, pace/tempo, interval, and HII training is called __ __ and can
enhance VO2 max, increase the lactate threshold, and improve running economy and
fuel utilization. - ANS-Fartlek training
A common progression rule is the __-__-__ rule, which states that if an athlete can
perform two or more repetitions over his assigned lift for two consecutive workouts, then
progress. - ANS-2-for-2 rule

Wednesday being the light day at 80% of Monday's load, and Friday being the medium
day at __% of Monday's load. - ANS-90%

them the flexibility to perform in: - ANS-unfamiliar contexts
,A moment arm is the __ __ from the line of action of the force to the fulcrum. - ANS-
perpendicular distance
A motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates is called a: - ANS-motor unit
A muscle is a called a __ when it assists indirectly in a movement. - ANS-synergist
