CPT NASM EXAM QUESTIONSAND VERIFIED ANSWERS
(LATEST UODATE) RATED A+
Obesity
Person with a BMI of 30 or greater.
Bone
Individuals who exercise regularly have greater peak __________ mass.
Feedback
Repeated pracDces, as well as internal and external __________, allows for
efficient movement to be reproduced (motor learning).
PropriocepDon
Research has demonstrated that __________ is altered aIer injury.
Muscle Synergies
Groups of muscles that are recruited by the CNS to produce movement.
Length-tension relaDonships
To ensure the HMS moves properly, it must exhibit proper force-couple
relaDonships, which can only happen if the muscles are at a good __________
and the joints have proper arthrokinemaDcs (joint moDon).
Force Couple
Muscle groups moving together to produce movement around a joint.
Length-Tension RelaDonships
The resDng length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this
resDng length.
Isotonic - constant muscle tension; eccentric - muscle develops tension while
lengthening, i.e., the boTom of a lunge; concentric - muscle shortens
,(contracDle force greater than resisDve force), i.e. Coming out of a lunge;
isometric - no visible change in muscle length, i.e., "pause" at the boTom of a
lunge; isokineDc - muscle shortens at constant speed (used mainly in rehab
seVngs).
List and describe the five types of muscle acDons.
Scapular retracDon (shoulder blades together), scapular protracDon (shoulder
blades apart), scapular depression (shoulder blades down), scapular elevaDon
(shoulder blades up)
What are the four types of scapular moDon?
Frontal Plane
Creates front and back halves; moDon - adducDon/abducDon, lateral flexion,
eversion/inversion; axis - anterior/posterior; example - side lunge (side to side)
SagiTal Plane
Bisects body into right and leI sides; movements - flexion/extension; axis -
coronal; examples - bicep curl, squat, walking, climbing stairs (front and back)
Anatomic PosiDon
The posiDon of the body erect with arms at sides and palms forward.
Transverse Plane
,MoDon - internal/external rotaDon, leI/right rotaDon, horizontal
adducDon/abducDon; axis - longitudinal; examples - throwing, golfing, swinging
a bat, trunk rotaDon (turn or rotate)
Ipsilateral
Same side of the body (i.e., right foot is __________ to right hand)
Contralateral
Opposite side of the body (i.e., right foot is __________ to leI hand)
Lateral
RelaDvely far from the midline or toward the outside of the body
Medial
RelaDvely close to the midline of the body (i.e., adductors)
Posterior
PosiDon on or toward the back of the body
Anterior
PosiDon on or toward the front of the body
Distal
PosiDon away from the center of the body or point of reference (i.e., ankle is
distal to hip more than knee)
Proximal
PosiDon nearest to the center of the body or point of reference (i.e., knee is
proximal to hip more than ankle)
Inferior
PosiDon below a reference point
, Superior
PosiDon above a reference point
Biomechanics
The science concerned with the internal and external forces acDng on the
human body and the effects produced by these forces.
ConducDng
Air travels through all the structures of the __________ airways before
entering the respiratory airways.
Diffusion
The process of geVng oxygen from the environment to the Dssues of the body.
Respiratory System
A system of organs that collects oxygen from the external environment and
transports it to the bloodstream (primary role is to ensure proper cellular
funcDon).
Aorta
The largest artery in the body is the __________.
Arteries - carry blood away from the heart; capillaries - site of exchange
between the blood and the Dssues; veins - carry blood back to the heart
What are the three major types of blood vessels?
Blood Vessels
Network of hollow tubes that allow blood to be transported to and from the
heart.
4; 6
The average adult has between _____ to _____ L of blood in his or her body.
Blood
