NASM Terms

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. Swings from hip down to knee (long)






2. High stress on neck - shoulders - and spine






3. Glute Max - Hamstring complex - Intrinsic core stabilizers






4. Out thigh






5. Hip Flexors - Erector Spinae






6. Using phosphocreatine to an ADP molecule enough to start the ATP process over - simplest and fastest - high intensity - short duration workouts - 10-15 sec.






7. Ability of the circulatory system to supply oxygen rich blood to the skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity






8. Builds high end work capacity






9. Neuromuscular system allowing agonists - antagonists - and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce - reduce - and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all three plans of motion






10. Deltoid & Rotator Cuff






11. Gathers O2 blood coming to the heart from the lungs






12. Neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract - muscle then will not contract






13. Broken down to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid. Creates 2 units of ATP from glucose and 3 ATP from glycogen. 30-50 sec/ 8-12 reps






14. Performing OPT exercises in vertical manner down the template






15. Aerobic glycolysis - krebs cycle - electron trasport chain - 35-40 ATP created - can create energy by burning triglycerides - at least enough for a workout






16. Builds high end work capacity






17. Series of exercises one after another - minimal rest






18. Muscle in neck from ear to collar bone






19. Men: 10% -20% Women: 20% - 30%






20. Foot & Ankle - Knee - LPHC - Shoulders - Head & Cervical Spine Anterior View: - Foot & Ankle - Knee - LPHC - Shoulders






21. Glute med/max - VMO






22. Gastroncnemius/soleus - adductors - lats






23. Gathers DeO2 blood returning to heart






24. Secreted by pancreas that regulates blood glucose levels






25. Hip Extension






26. Cannot be manufactured by the body so must be obtained from food and other sources. 'If Larry Loves Melony; Peter then throws vegetables'






27. 45-65% of diet- During exercise for more than one hour 30-69 grams is adequate






28. On or toward back of body






29. Refers to postion closest to midline






30. Up - Down - Neutral- Down






31. Bisects body into right and left sides






32. Capability to be elongated or stretched






33. Anterior Tibialis - Glute Max - Erector Spinae






34. Bisects upper and lower halves






35. Elevated thyroid hormone concentration






36. Nearest to reference point






37. Senses Muscle Tension - Relaxes muscles in Response - Normal Reaction to avoid injury






38. General and medical History (occupation - lifestyles - medical - and personal info)






39. Biomechanical & neuromuscular dysfunction leading to altered joint movement (internally or externally rotating)






40. Shoulder Extension - Shoulder External Rotation






41. Measures endurance of upper body - primarily pushing muscles






42. Proper alignment of rear leg and pelvis during sprinting






43. Smaller muscle - just outside of longus coli






44. Performing set to failure - then removing a small percentage and continuing the set






45. Glute med/max - VMO






46. Large part of calve - sits over soleus






47. Placing stress on cardio in order to achieve optimal levels of physiological - physical - and performance adaptations






48. Medial gastrocnemius - medial hamstring complex - gracilis - sartorius - popliteus






49. (Fast Twitch) Fewer capillaries - mitochondria - myoglobin - 'white fibers.' 2 types: IIX Have low oxidative capacity - fatigue quickly.IIA High Oxidative - fatigue slower - intermediate fast twitch - aerobic/anaerobic






50. Gastrocnemius - Soleus - Peroneals - Adductors - Illiotibial head - Hip Flexor Complex - Biceps femoris
