Corrective Exercise practice test 2023/2024 questions and
answers complete
Which of the following is an example of a stabilizing muscle role?
The muscle of the rotator cuff contracting along with the deltoids during an overhead
shoulder press.
What term defines the cumulative change in motor behavior over a person's
entire lifetime?
Motor development
What term describes a muscle acting as a primary mover?
Agonist
A client with an Achilles tendon injury would be expected to have weakness in
which of the following muscles?
Gastrocnemius
Which global muscle subsystem activates synergistically to control movement in
the frontal plane?
Lateral
Performing a walking pattern with or without resistance is an example of
activation for which subsystem?
Deep longitudinal
What are the common neurophysiological mechanisms of myofascial rolling that
result in decreased pain?
Roller pressure may modulate pain through stimulation of muscle and cutaneous
receptors, afferent central nociceptive pathways (gate theory of pain), and descending
anti-nociceptive pathways (diffuse noxious inhibitory control)
A client had a knee surgery 3 weeks ago and wants to use a myofascial roller to
decrease their hamstring discomfort. What should the fitness professional
consider before prescribing the intervention?
Myofascial rolling may be contraindicated and the client should discuss with their
physician first.
Can fitness professionals administer Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue
Mobilization to their clients?
In general, IASTM is a specialized treatment conducted by a trained healthcare
professional.
What is the recommended range of frequency (days per week) for self-myofascial
rolling?
Performing myofascial rolling between two and five times per week may be enough to
experience benefits.
Researchers suggested which of the following regarding research on most
effective self-myofascial rolling programs?
There is currently a lack of consensus on optimal myofascial rolling programs.
If the client has an underlying medical conditions that could be a
contraindication, what is the best course of action before having them use a self-
myofascial roller?
, The client should be cleared through an appropriately licensed medical professional
before proceeding with any myofascial techniques.
What are two common precautions to stretching?
Hypertension and joint replacement
What best describes the psycho-physiological concept of stretch tolerance?
A client can tolerate the level of discomfort during a prolonged stretch.
What is the optimal duration of stretching to decrease musculotendinous
stiffness?
30-60 seconds
The isometric tempo should last approximately how long?
2 seconds
Greatest strength gains take place while the muscle is under resistance while
doing which of the following?
Lengthening
Low sets and relatively light weights are needed to allow for the slow tempo and
high repetition range to provide mild stress to specific areas of the body that
benefit from regular activations with which of the following intensities?
Low-level activations
Jamie demonstrated a posterior pelvic tilt during the overhead squat assessment.
Which of the following is an appropriate activation exercise for Jamie?
Standing hip flexor
Which visual method should be used to observe a client during the static postural
assessment?
Observe the client beginning with the feet and travel up to the head.
What are common underactive/lengthened muscles in the lower body?
Rectus abdominis, gluteus maximus, tibialis anterior, and peroneals
Which lower-body muscles are commonly overactive in the Kendall kyphosis-
lordosis posture?
Internal obliques, hip flexors, and lumbar extensors
Pes Planus Distortion Syndrome can lead to the following injuries?
Plantar fasciitis, medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), patellar tendonitis, and low-
back pain
Which muscle would be considered underactive/lengthened, leading to scapular
winging during the Davies test?
Serratus anterior
Which term best describes the entire available motion at a joint as well as the
body's neuromuscular control during motion?
Mobility
Which term best describes the amount of mobility or motion obtained by the
examiner without any assistance by the client?
Passive motion
Which term best describes the normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow
for the full range of motion of a joint?
Flexibility
Why might a fitness professional choose to use ankle mobility screening on a
client?
