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.

10. Opposite gastrocnemius






11. How much cardio fitness daily by ACSM






12. Close to the body's surface






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






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






15. Opposite erector spinae group






16. Increasing joint angle






17. Where carbon dioxide rich blood goes once it is depleted of oxygen and has gone through the body






18. Without oxygen






19. How often AFAA recommends that someone works out






20. Movement away from midline






21. Refers to being thankful to the pleasures that your body provides






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






23. Produces force - yet no change in the muscle length occurs ie pushing against immovable objects






24. Refers to being thankful to the pleasures that your body provides






25. Ex of this joint: wrists

43. Anaerobic from glycogen stored with a duration of 30-120 sec






44. Opposite gluteus medius






45. Bouncy - uncontrolled stretches; not recommended for individuals who are not involved in a sport






46. Use the joint full range of motion while maintaining a soft bend in both elbows and knees to protect against hyperextension; the key to effectively working the muscle group desired






47. Runs down front and back. activity- jumping jacks






48. Fat loss






49. Increasing joint angle ie point the toes






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