Fitness Instructor Training

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. Increases muscle strength






2. The muscle's ability to repeatedly produce a movement or perform exertions many times- developed with lighter weights and more reps aka 12-15






3. ACSM maximum heart rate






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






5. How often stretches should be done.






6. Average body fat % for women ages 20-29






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






8. How ping measures body mass






9. In resistance training - these muscles are worked first.






10. Increasing joint angle ie point the toes






11. Consists of controlled leg and arm swings that take you gently to the limits of your range of motion






12. What does FITT stand for?






13. Superior movement at the scapula

19. Opposite trapezius and rhomboids






20. Opposite triceps






21. With oxygen






22. Occurs when force is produced as a muscle lengthens - increasing joint angles while movement is toward gravity ie lowing a weight with control






23. How long stretches should be done for






24. Decreasing joint angle ie foot towards shin






25. Away from the body's midline

40. The position of an individual's spine where every joint is held in an optimal position to allow an equal distribution of force through the entire structure






41. Refers to a person's ability o efficiently perform dynamic - moderate-to-high intensity exercises for prolonged periods.

47. Rotation around axis






48. The volume of air that can forcibly be ejected from the lungs in a single expiration






49. Occurs when force is applied as the muscle shortens decreasing joint angle and movement is against gravity ie lifting a weight






50. How much AFAA recommends of your maximum heart rate
