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. Larger shoulder muscle - under deltoid






2. Alteration of muscle length surrounded a joint






3. Liver damage - bone/joint pain - dry skin - hair loss - headache - vomitting






4. Cardiac muscle - smooth muscle - skeletal muscle






5. Gastrointestinal irritation - fatigue






6. Potential kidney problems - picolinate form - possible mutagenic






7. Assess movement efficiency & potential muscle imbalances






8. Deep Cervical Floors






9. .65 and .75






10. Proper alignment of rear leg and pelvis during sprinting






11. Low intensity exercise that does not necessarily relate to the more intense exercises






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






13. Masks V- B12 (which can cause neurological problems)






14. Current Occupation?Does it require extended periods of sitting?Extended Periods of Repetitive Movements?Require you to wear shoes with a heel? Cause you anxiety or mental stress?






15. Hypertension - congestive heart failure






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






17. Red light green light - follow the snake






18. Can be manufactured by the body 'Alan asks Alice - can Gary go get Peanuts - syrup - & tape?'






19. High stress on knees caps - and other tissues of the knee






20. Yellow discoloration of urine - otherwise harmless






21. Position below reference






22. Training different part of the body on seperate days

24. Part of Calf - small muscle






25. Layer of connective tissue that is underneath fascia - and surrounds muscle (outside)






26. Up - down - neutral/Down






27. Excessive- resulting to fatigue






28. Soleus - Lateral Gastro. Biceps Femoris






29. Combination of flexibility and the nervous systems ability to control this range of motion efficiently






30. Uppers Traps - low serratus anterior






31. Increased sensitivity of skin reaction of nickel






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






33. Pronation Distortion Syndrome - Lower Crossed Syndrome - Upper Crossed Syndrome






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






35. Out thigh






36. Ability to accelerate - decelerate - stabilize and change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture






37. Refers to position on opposite side of the body






38. Down - Down

41. Anterior tilt to pelvis - arched lower back






42. Performing OPT exercises in vertical manner down the template






43. Impaired immune function - low HDL






44. Liver damage - bone/joint pain - dry skin - hair loss - headache - vomitting






45. Transport chemicals - water between blood and tissue






46. Bisects body into right and left sides






47. Zone 1 - Zone 1 - Zone 2 - Zone 2 - Zone 3






48. Gutes - Quads - Calves






49. 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






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