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. Anaerobic with a duration of 1-20 sec






2. The opposite of the primary muscle mover






3. Back






4. One side






5. The easy of movement through a full range of motion.






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






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






8. Training for a specific task- training muscles in the same for that they will be used for






9. Produces force through a range of motion at a constant muscle tension and velocity






10. Ex of this joint: wrists






11. Turning foot inward






12. 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






13. Ex of this joint: knuckles






14. Upper






15. 60-80% 1RM; 8-12 reps; 3-6 sets; 2-3 mins recovery






16. Underweight BMI






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






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






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






20. Inferior movement at the scapula






21. Decreasing joint angle






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






23. Produces force while the joint moves through a full range of motion ie bicep curls






24. Ex of this joint: thumb






25. All exercises should be performed in a _____ fashion in which the _______ is controlled at a moderate pace






26. How long stretches should be done for






27. What does FITT stand for?






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






29. Movement towards midline

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






33. Increases muscular endurance






34. Patterns mimic that encountered during the activity or sport






35. The pitn at which the intensity of exercise becomes so intense that the body switches from aerobic to anaerobic energy systems






36. Opposite gluteus medius






37. How much exercise is efficient to gain health benefits and prevent disease






38. Both the agonist and antagonist must be worked equally to avoid muscle imbalances. Muscle imbalances may lead to an increased risk of injury






39. Ex of this joint: shoulder and hips






40. Ex of this joint: elbow






41. Divided at torso; top and bottom. activity- twisting






42. Average body fat % for men ages 20-29






43. Ex of this joint: shoulder and hips






44. Anaerobic with a duration of 1-20 sec






45. How often ACSM recommends that someone works out






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






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






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






49. Fat loss






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