NASM Stretching and FlexibilityCertification Exam 100% Solved
A great deal of the client's success depends on what two factors? - ANSWER-Time
spent investing in their improvement both with their assisted stretching sessions and
being diligent with their homework assignments
A truly balanced HMS will have what? - ANSWER-Optimal structural and functional
efficiency with proper alignment of the kinetic chain checkpoints: the feet/ankles, knees,
LPHC, shoulders, and head and neck
Any clients seated for prolonged periods will have a tendency to demonstrate
restrictions or lack of flexibility in which fascial nets? - ANSWER-The superficial and
deep front nets
Any movement that is largely composed of _____________ would elongate or stretch
the BN, such as bending forward to touch the toes or pulling one knee up to the chest -
ANSWER-Flexion
Any movement that is largely composed of _______________ would elongate or stretch
the SFN. Conversely, general _____________ movements (e.g., being seated and
hunched over a computer) will shorten the SFN - ANSWER-Extension; Flexion
Any movement that is largely composed of ________________ would elongate or
stretch the DFN, and __________________ shortens the DFN - ANSWER-Extension;
Flexion
Any movement that is largely composed of a lateral or side bend would
______________________ the LN - ANSWER-Elongate/stretch
Any movement that is largely composed of a spinal, full-body, or regional rotation would
____________________ the SN - ANSWER-Elongate/Stretch
Any movement that is largely composed of most shoulder and arm movements away
from the body's midline or away from the chest will ______________________ the
SFAN, e.g., shoulder flexion - ANSWER-Mobilize/Stretch
Any movement that is largely composed of most shoulder and arm movements toward
the body's midline or chest will ________________ the SBAN and DBAN - ANSWER-
Mobilize/stretch
Aponeuroses - ANSWER-Fascial expansions of the muscle-tendon (myotendon)
attachment to bone.
,Assisted Stretching is used to do what? - ANSWER-To improve, correct, and maintain
flexibility and mobility, postural alignment, and overall fitness
Between flexion and extension, which movement does our society tend to favor? -
ANSWER-Flexion
Biotensegrity - ANSWER-The tension and compression elements that describe force
vector concepts applied to biology and the human body.
Blocked Tissue Resistance - ANSWER-As soon as the client's leg is lifted, motion is
blocked by the client due to an emotional reason.
Bound Water - ANSWER-Water forming in liquid crystalline structured patterns; Bound
water has special molecular properties that enable it to perform many crucial functions,
including providing greater viscosity for the viscoelastic properties of fasciae. This
property greatly enhances the flexibility and elasticity of the fascial system
Building on the balance and coordination of the previous nets that play a larger role in
posture and activities of daily living, the PNs help generate what? - ANSWER-Quick
power, speed, agility, and directional change in sports and other highly demanding
activities
Bulk Water - ANSWER-Polluted water;
Certain localized conditions of dehydration may be responsible for what afflictions? -
ANSWER-Decreased mobility, elasticity, elastic recoil, lymph drainage, blood
circulation, or trigger points
Clients should be reminded that flexibility training is only one aspect of overall fitness
improvement, and an ________________ approach to fitness will be essential toward
attaining their goals - ANSWER-Integrated
Code of Ethics - ANSWER-Organizationally established professional guidelines for
practitioner behavior
Collagen - ANSWER-The molecule is made of three long protein chains (polypeptides)
and, after water, is the second largest component that makes up fascia. It represents
about 30% of human body protein.
Compression - ANSWER-A baseline amount of compression through the skeletal
system counterbalances the tension of the myofascial network.
Connective tissues or fasciae consist of what three elements? - ANSWER-Cells, fibers,
and ground substance
, Define Flexibility - ANSWER-Flexibility is commonly defined as the normal extensibility
(ability to stretch) of all soft tissues (contractile and non-contractile) that allow the
complete range of motion (ROM) of a joint
Define Hypomobile - ANSWER-Generally tight or stiff
Elastin - ANSWER-A protein that gives collagen the ability to tolerate stretch and
distension; creates a three-dimensional network around collagen fibers.
Empty Tissue Resistance - ANSWER-Extreme passive ROM is felt without any
resistance.
Experiencing soreness from the self-care sessions could be related to what? -
ANSWER-Tissue limits could be exceeded if being aggressive with myofascial rolling
and additional stretching
Explain Classical Kinesiology - ANSWER-The study of the principles of mechanics and
anatomy in relation to human movement
Explain Davis' Law - ANSWER-Davis's law describes how soft tissue models or heals
according to the manner in which they are mechanically stressed (e.g., stretched)
Explain Force Transmission and its relationship to fascia - ANSWER-Whether
encountering forces generated from within or externally produced, the myofascial
network must be able to receive, dampen, and transmit forces efficiently and effectively
Explain stretching - ANSWER-Stretching equates to the practice of elongating the soft
tissues to improve extensibility. Thus, improving extensibility through stretching serves
to improve overall flexibility.
Explain the function of the Power Nets - ANSWER-The Power nets are engaged in
more sport-type movements, such as running, kicking, catching, and throwing rather
than maintaining static postures. Movements that involve opposite arms and legs with
forces running on a spiral at a diagonal through the body are the focus of the Power
nets
Explain Wolff's Law - ANSWER-Wolff's law generally states that bone functionally
adapts to mechanical loading by getting stronger to accommodate repetitive forces
Exteroception - ANSWER-External stimuli as detected by the five senses.
Fascia - ANSWER-Connective tissue that surrounds muscles and bones.
Fascial Nets - ANSWER-The concept of the myofascial tensional network that describes
the interconnectedness of specific chains of muscle and fascia located in different parts
of the body as they relate to functional movement patterns.
