NASM: Stretching and FlexibilityCertification Latest Updates
2024/2025
Integrated Stretching ANS✔✔ Self-myofascial techniques combined with assisted
and self-stretching techniques.
Fascia ANS✔✔ Connective tissue that surrounds muscles and bones.
True or False: Stretching can directly influence hydration. ANS✔✔ True
Regional Interdependence (RI) Model ANS✔✔ Assessment and intervention model
used by clinicians based on the concept that the site of a patient's primary
complaint or symptoms is affected by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal
regions.
Neurophysiological System ANS✔✔ A physiological system dealing with the
functioning of the nervous system.
Somatovisceral System ANS✔✔ The part of the sensory system that responds to
changes in internal body systems and organs.
Myofascia ANS✔✔ The functional combination of both muscle and connective
tissues.
Structural Efficiency ANS✔✔ The alignment of each segment of the human
movement system, which allows posture to be balanced in relation to a person's
center of gravity.
,Fascial System ANS✔✔ A three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing,
loose, and dense fibrous connective tissues that permeate the body providing
functional structure and environment.
Functional Efficiency ANS✔✔ The ability of the neuromuscular system to recruit
correct muscle synergies, at the right time, with the appropriate amount of force to
perform functional tasks with the least amount of energy and stress on the human
movement system (HMS).
Fascial System Model ANS✔✔ The model of human movement that considers the
interconnectivity and interaction of the fascial system throughout the body.
Fascial Nets ANS✔✔ 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.
Super Compensation Hydration Phenomenon ANS✔✔ The effect on tissue after
tissue has been allowed to rest after stretch or compression; more fluid rushes back
into the tissues than was observed pre-stretch
Bound Water ANS✔✔ 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
Bulk Water ANS✔✔ Polluted water;
What other factors would be affecting a pronated foot-ankle complex, according to
the RI? ANS✔✔ A pronated foot-ankle complex is only one part of a cascading chain
of events, resulting in more proximal faulty positions, like with an internally rotated
knee and hip that may anteriorly rotate the pelvis
, A truly balanced HMS will have what? ANS✔✔ Optimal structural and functional
efficiency with proper alignment of the kinetic chain checkpoints: the feet/ankles,
knees, LPHC, shoulders, and head and neck
True or False: The FS model may be thought of as an extension of the strategies
used in the RI model to include all the various types of connective tissues ANS✔✔
The FS model may be thought of as an extension of the strategies used in the RI
model to include all the various types of connective tissues
What happens when a mechanical load is released? ANS✔✔ An influx of fresh fluids
enters to flush out metabolic waste, rehydrate, and bring fresh nutrients to the
area.
Why is it important to have structural efficiency and the alignment of each
component of the human movement system (HMS)? ANS✔✔ This enables an
individual to maintain their center of gravity over a constantly changing base of
support during all functional movements.
How does the Fascial System (FS) model add to functional efficiency within the
human movement system (HMS)? ANS✔✔ It intertwines the nervous system and
muscular system, creating a mechanically sensitive and responsive communication
network.
Which of the following is the first definition of fascia according to the Fascial
Research Society? ANS✔✔ A fascia is a sheath, a sheet, or any other dissectible
aggregations of connective tissue that forms beneath the skin to attach, enclose,
and separate muscles and other internal organs.
Which of the following factors are improved with the use of the Fascial System (FS)
model? ANS✔✔ Assessments and programs bodywork, physical therapy,
regenerative medicine, fitness, and stretch therapy.
True or False: It is within the scope of practice for a fitness professional to diagnose
and/or render medical treatment ANS✔✔ False: Unless the practitioner is also
