Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Overweight body fat % for women ages 20-29






2. The muscle's ability to exert maximal force- developed by 6-10 reps






3. How often ACSM recommends that someone works out

5. Opposite erector spinae group






6. Opposite trapezius and rhomboids

14. More than 80% 1RM; 3-5 reps; 3-6 sets; 3-4 mins recovery






15. Patterns mimic that encountered during the activity or sport






16. Relative ratio between fat and fat-free mass.






17. Inferior movement at the scapula

43. What does FITT stand for?






44. Where oxygen rich blood comes from upon leaving the heart






45. Runs down - left and right. activity- running






46. Works by exchanging carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs and delivering blood containing oxygen to the working muscles
