Specialist - CSCS COMPLETE REVIEW

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS


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.

Copyright ©Stuvia International BV 2010-2024 Page 2/136

, Copyright © KAYLIN 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED




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?

, Copyright © KAYLIN 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED




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).
