NSCA CSCS Chapter 16 Question and
answers already passed
At the sticking point of an exercise, you should breath ______ or
_____________. - correct answer ✔out or exhale
true or false: you inhale during the concentric phase - correct answer ✔false,
you inhale during the eccentric phase
axial skeleton: - correct answer ✔includes the brain, spine, ribs, and sternum
body weight training: - correct answer ✔body weight is used for the exercise
resistance
With body weight you should increase _______. - correct answer ✔reps
Body weight training with increased reps works more of strength
____________________ instead of pure ___________. - correct answer
✔muscular endurance instead of pure strength
to increase the body weight exercise intensity you could change the
________________ ______________. - correct answer ✔movement pattern
ex: elevate legs during pushups
muscle activation: - correct answer ✔- exercise that wakes up the muscle
opposite the tight short muscles
ex: glute bridge, side clam, scapular pull ups, superman, squeeze press,
, There is a huge interest in strengthening the core to help improve and
enhance . . . - correct answer ✔athletic performance
anatomical core: - correct answer ✔axial skeleton and all the soft tissues
with proximal attachment (usually the origin of the muscle)
soft tissues (connects, surrounds, and supports internal organs and tissues;
ligaments, tendons, etc.) act to generate forces and resist motion; what does
this mean? - correct answer ✔this means that soft tissue will act to generate
concentric muscle actions but will resist eccentric and isometric muscle
actions
- soft tissue examples include muscle and fat
isolation exercise: - correct answer ✔typically consists of dynamic or
isometric muscle actions designed to isolate specific core musculature without
contribution of upper and lower body extremities
ex: prone plank and side plank
it seems that ground-based free weight exercises offer more activation of the
__________ than isolation exercises. - correct answer ✔core
machine based training may allow for more. . . ? - correct answer ✔isolation
to specific muscle groups but the downside of this is the fact that our bodies
almost never act in a isolated fashion
stabilizer muscle are targeted more in which type of exercise? free weights or
machine based training? - correct answer ✔free weights
what are a few examples of isolation exercises? - correct answer ✔bicep
curl, ham curl, leg extension, etc
