CSCS Practice Test Questions and
answers correctly solved
What is the term used for stress that is applied to the body until performance
begins to decline before a period of rest? - correct answer ✔Functional
overreaching
- When performance begins to decline from stress that is applied to the body
throughout training, it is known to a period of rest of of reduced intensity. It is
important for the strength and conditioning professional to understand a
difference between overreaching and overtraining


Implementation of specific tasks during athletic movement or specific
exercises is known as which of the following? - correct answer ✔Explicit
instruction
- Throughout training, the strength and conditioning professional may instruct
the athlete on specific tasks to perform during the movement. this is known as
explicit instruction . Explicit instruction can be very beneficial with simple,
single-joint exercises but may be less effective with more advanced, multi-joint
compound movements.


Which of the following muscle actions is occurring in the pectoralis major as
the weight is lowered to the chest in a barbell press exercise? - correct
answer ✔Eccentric muscle action
- The pectoralis major contracts eccentrically when the barbell is lowered to
the chest in a barbell press exercise. Almost exclusively any lowering phase
of the external resistance or body will be categorized as an eccentric muscle
action of the agonist muscle due to the need to control the downward phase of
the movement. Because gravity will cause the load to drop, the muscles must
contract eccentrically to control the load. It is important to understand the
difference between eccentric, concentric, and isometic muscle actions.

,Which of the following is not a component of an electrocardiogram? - correct
answer ✔U-wave
- The heart's conduction system can be observed through a graph known as
an electrocardiogram is comprised of a P-wave, a QRS complex, and a T-
wave. The P-wave and QRS complex represents the depolarization phase of
the atria and ventricles, respectively. The T-wave represents the
repolarization phase of contraction.


Which of the following is not a mechanism for expansion and retraction of the
lungs? - correct answer ✔Relaxation of the abdominal muscles
- During respiration, the lungs expand and retract to control volume of air
within the system. The expansion and retraction are controlled by two different
mechanisms: the upward and downward movement of the diaphragm and the
depression and elevation of the ribs. Although the abdominals can have a role
in the expansion and retraction of the lungs, their involvement entails
activation and contraction, not active relaxation.


The operation of processing environmental, external, and internal cues that
come to one's awareness is known as which of the following? - correct
answer ✔Attention
- Attention is the operation of processing environmental, external, and internal
cues that enter one's awareness throughout training and competition. It is
important for athletes to ensure that their attention and level of focus is based
on task-relevant stimuli and keep their attention off of task-relevant stimuli.


Which of the following encompasses the components of the axial skeleton? -
correct answer ✔Bones of the ribs, sternum, vertebral column, and skull
- The axial skeleton consists of the ribs, sternum, vertebral column, and the
skull. The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the hips, knees,
ankles, feet, pelvic girdle, shoulder girdle, arms, wrists, and hands.

,During training, children and adolescents often see an increase in
performance primarily due to which of the following? - correct answer
✔Neural adaptations
- The hormonal response to exercise will not be the same for children and
young adolescents as that of the general athletic population. In prepubescent
children, circulating hormones such as testosterone, growth hormone, and
insulin-growth are limited. Therefore, many of the strength gains afforded from
training programs are increased hypertrophy of the musculature and neural
adaptations. It is the neural adaptations, including enhanced recruitment of
motor units, that primarily drives improvements.


Which of the following is defined as the use of recreating successful athletic
events or endeavors within the athlete's mind? - correct answer ✔Mental
imagery
- Involves recreating successful athletic events within the mind of the athlete.
This reaction can entail every sensory aspect of the event, such as what might
be seen, heard, smelled, and felt. By recreating a successful athletic
endeavor, the athlete will increase the desire to experience such events within
their athletic career again. The mental image does not need to be limited to
competition it may include a successful practice, or rehearsal, in preparation
to the event.


Social acceptance, trophies, awards, and introduction into a hall of fame are
all examples of what of the following? - correct answer ✔Extrinsic motivation
- Extrinsic motivation involves the desire for external awards from successful
outcomes of training and competition. Examples include social acceptance,
trophies, awards, induction to the hall of fame, and praise. Intrinsic motivation
involves the internal desire to be successful, the athlete's love for the sport,
and the internal satisfaction gleaned from participation. It is important to note
that athletes are usually not solely motivated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors,
but from a combination of both.


Adaptation that occurs from stress placed on the body is the definition of
which of the following - correct answer ✔General Adaptation Syndrome

, - Adaptation can occur from any stressor that is placed on the human body, a
phenomenon called general adaptation syndrome (GAS). When stress is
placed upon the body over time, the body will begin to react accordingly and
try to build resistance or tolerance to that stress. In the case of exercise as the
stressor, the body adapts by increasing neural recruitment of muscle fibers,
increases muscle fiber size and density, increasing mitochondrial density, etc.
depending on the specific training program.


Which of the following allows relaxation from a muscle contraction? - correct
answer ✔Lack of calcium available and signal cessation from the motor
neuron
- During a muscle contraction, the motor neuron sends an electrical impulse,
in the form of an action potential, for the muscle to contract. Furthermore,
calcium plays a major role in the interaction. As long as calcium is available,
the myosin and actin will continue to interact. When calcium is insufficient or
when the action potential ceases, the oxygen can reach the cells of the body.


What is the primary location of hemoglobin? - correct answer ✔Red blood
cells
- Hemoglobin is the main vehicle within blood for oxygen transport to the rest
of the body. Hemoglobin is located in red blood cells. As the red blood cells
travel through the body via the cardiovascular system, the oxygen can reach
the cells of the body.


Which of the following accurately describes bone periosteum? - correct
answer ✔Specialized bone tissue that connects the bones to tendons.
- Almost all bones are surrounded by a specialized tissue called periosteum,
which serves as a site for tendon attachment. As muscles contract, tendons,
which are connected to bones by the periosteum, pull on the bones, causing
movement.
- Periosteum (outer covering of bone),
