Why do sedentary ,healthy adults require dietary proteins/amino acids to maintain good
health?

a. to maintain cellular structure and function

b. to prevent diseases such as cancer

c. to strengthen bones - ANSWER:
a. to maintain cellular structure and function

EXPLANATION:
Protein is the primary structural and functional component of every cell in the human
body. Dietary proteins are used for growth and development and to build and repair
cells; they serve as enzymes, transport carriers, and hormones. Therefore, dietary
protein is essential for maintaining health, reproduction, and cellular structure and
function. This applies to both active and sedentary individuals.

Which muscle is directly targeted during the pec-deck?

a. deltoids

b. pectoralis major

c. triceps brachii - ANSWER:
b. pectoralis major

EXPLANATION:
In the pec-deck movement, the idea is to create a long level out of your arms, therefore
putting more pressure on the primary and secondary muscles. The pec-deck directly
targets the pectoralis major, and does so in a way different than a bench press because
the elbows are unlocked throughout the whole range of motion. This length in the arms
makes the movement much harder. The deltoids and triceps brachii are assistance
muscles, working with the pectoralis major to create the movement.

Which of the following statements is true regarding Golgi tendon organs?

,a. they are mechanoreceptors located within the musculotendinous junction that are
sensitive to tension and rate of tension change

b. they are mechanoreceptors located in joints throughout the fibrous capsule and
ligaments that respond to joint position, movement, and pressure change

c. they are major sensory organs that are sensitive to change in length and rate of
length change - ANSWER:
a. they are mechanoreceptors located within the musculotendinous junction that are
sensitive to tension and rate of tension change

EXPLANATION:
Golgitendonorgans (GTOs) are activated when the tendon attached to an active muscle
is stretched. As tension increases within a muscle, discharge of the GTOs increases.
They inhibit a motor neuron when muscle tension increases, and this inhibition is
thought to provide a mechanism that protects against the development of excessive
tension.

Which of the following is one of the elements that must exist for a strength and
conditioning professional to be found negligent?

a. presence of an effect

b. presence of ab obligation

c. presence of a duty - ANSWER:
c. presence of a duty

EXPLANATION:
Negligence is a failure to act as a reasonable and prudent person would under similar
circumstances. Four elements must exist for negligence to be proven: presence of a
duty, breach of duty, proximate cause and damages. To be proven negligent, the
professional must have had a duty to act and failed to do so, which is termed a breach
of duty. In addition, a professional must act with the appropriate level of care, and failure
to do so must have resulted in either physical injury or economic damage because of
the natural and continuous sequence of reasonably foreseeable events (approximate
cause).

When estimating 1RM for power exercises, what is the maximum number of repetitions
one can use for estimation?

a. 8

,b. 5

c. 6 - ANSWER:
b. 5

EXPLANATION:
Power exercises do not lend themselves well to multiple-RM testing above five
repetitions for repeated testing sets, because technique can deteriorate quickly. Other
types of exercise can use more than five repetitions. Using a 10RM load to predict 1RM
is a common method.

Performing warm-up sets prior to performing a 1RM bench press test will increase
which of the following test characteristics?

a. inter-rater agreement

b. validity

c. reliability - ANSWER:
c. reliability

EXPLANATION:
Performing a warm-up before any testing will increase a test's reliability. An
appropriately organized warm-up consists of a general warm-up followed by a specific
warm-up. Both types of warm-ups include body movements similar to those involved in
the test. An organized, instructor-led general warm-up ensures uniformity. It is
acceptable to allow two or three activity-specific warm-up trials, depending on the test
protocol, and have subsequent trials actually count towards the score. Depending on
the test protocol, the score can be the best or the average of the post-warm-up trials.

Which substance is usually ingested by overweight females in hopes of losing weight?

a. erythropoietin

b. human chorionic gonadotropin

c. testosterone - ANSWER:
b. human chorionic gonadotropin

EXPLANATION:

, Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone obtained from the placenta of
pregnant women and is very closely related in structure and function to luteinizing
hormone. In fact, it is the pregnancy indicator used by pregnancy test kits. HCG is
sometimes injected into overweight females under medical supervision in conjunction
with low-calorie diets for the purpose of weight loss. When injected into men, HCG can
increase testicular testosterone production.

Performing a squat, push-up, biceps curl, leg curl and chin-up, with each exercise
immediately following the last, is an example of what type of training?

a. cardio training

b. circuit training

c. core training - ANSWER:
b. circuit training

EXPLANATION:
Circuit training is a series of exercises performed consecutively with little to no rest in
between. It's a great way of realizing benefits from aerobic and anaerobic training
simultaneously. It's also a way to get a good workout in less time.

The bar is pulled down and toward the upper chest with a pronated grip, while the
torso is maintained in a slight backward lean in the downward movement phase. What
exercise is being performed?

a. lat pulldown

b. seated row

c. low-pulley seated row - ANSWER:
a. lat pulldown

EXPLANATION:
On the downward movement, is is important to note that the torso shouldn't jerk, and
that the bar must reach the clavicle and upper chest. In the upward movement phase of
the lat pulldown, the athlete allows the elbows to slowly return to the starting position
while keeping the torso in the same position. At the end of the set, the athlete stands up
and returns the bar to its resting position.
