NAFC Practical Application Exam With
100% Correct And Verified Answers
The Practical Application Workbook - Correct Answer-not
just a reference manual but a practical guide that shows the
student trainer the concepts, proper range of motion and
body mechanics that will enable them to become successful
and standout among their peers in the industry.
Anatomical position - Correct Answer-is the starting
position for the analysis of movement for the human body.
(The hands are lateral to the medial elbow.)
Planes of Motion - Correct Answer-1. Sagittal plane - divides
the human body in half from left to right so that flexion and
extension can occur. For movement within this plane, the
resistance must come from below the elbow during a
standing biceps curl. If bent-over, the resistance must come
from directly behind the new position.
2. Frontal plane - divides the body in half from front to back.
In this plane, one can perform adduction and abduction. If
standing, the resistance and the fight against gravity come
from the direction and gravitational pull of the earth.
3. Transverse plane - divides the body into superior (upper)
and inferior (lower) segments. In these planes one can
perform all rotations such as internal and external rotations

involve performing movements in the Transverse planes of
motion.

not limited to gym-based training. In addition
to sport specific training and powerlifting,
individuals performing everyday tasks may
sustain bodily damage if not following these
principles. Using ANSER in our daily lives, as
well as when we are exercising will go a long
way toward preventing injuries.
THE RISK/BENEFIT EQUATION (R/BE) -
Correct Answer-NAFC original concept
pertaining to the constant and possibly
dangerous variables a personal trainer faces
while recommending and working with a
diverse client base. (safety)
The Assisted Pull-up - Correct Answer-
primarily targets and develops the latissimus
dorsi while stabilizing the shoulder girdle.

shoulder on the concentric phase of
contraction without locking out at the elbow
on the eccentric phase of muscle contraction.
