NASM CORRECTIVE EXERCISE SPECIALIST
EXAM 2024/2025
Corrective exercise - Precise Answer ✔✔A term used to describe the
systematic process of identifying a
neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction,
developing a plan of action, and
implementing an integrated corrective
strategy.
Corrective Exercise Continuum - Precise Answer ✔✔The systematic
programming process
used to address neuromusculoskeletal
dysfunction through the use of inhibitory,
lengthening, activation, and integration
techniques
Inhibitory techniques - Precise Answer ✔✔Corrective exercise
techniques used to release
tension or decrease activity of overactive
neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
,Lengthening techniques - Precise Answer ✔✔Corrective exercise
techniques used to
increase the extensibility, length, and range
of motion of neuromyofascial tissues in the
body.
Activation techniques - Precise Answer ✔✔Corrective exercise
techniques used
to reeducate or increase activation of
underactive tissues.
Corrective exercise techniques used to
retrain the collective synergistic function of
all muscles through functionally progressive
movements. - Precise Answer ✔✔Integration techniques
the International Obesity Task Force - Precise Answer ✔✔In 1985,
deemed the prevalence of obesity________________
an epidemic
one third 33% - Precise Answer ✔✔Today, approximately _______ of
adults are estimated to be obese
,overweight - Precise Answer ✔✔18% of today's adolescents and
teenagers are considered
40 years ago - Precise Answer ✔✔Research suggests that
musculoskeletal pain is more common now than it
was__________because of the advancements of technology and
manuallabor-saving
devices.
1 million ambulatory care (doctor) visits per year - Precise Answer
✔✔In the general population, plantar fasciitis accounts for more than
$26 billion - Precise Answer ✔✔It has been estimated that the annual
costs attributable to low-back pain in the
United States are greater than
21% of the general population - Precise Answer ✔✔Shoulder pain is
reported to occur in up to
higher the risk of injury? - Precise Answer ✔✔The less conditioned our
musculoskeletal systems are, the higher the risk of injury?
R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compress, elevate). - Precise Answer ✔✔According
to the text, a comprehensive corrective exercise strategy using the
Corrective Exercise Continuum includes all of the following steps
EXCEPT:
, Biomechanics - Precise Answer ✔✔A study that uses principles of
physics
to quantitatively study how forces
interact within a living body
Force - Precise Answer ✔✔An influence applied by one object to
another, which results in an acceleration or deceleration of the second
object.
Rotary motion - Precise Answer ✔✔Movement of the bones around the
joints
Torque - Precise Answer ✔✔A force that produces rotation
Antagonists - Precise Answer ✔✔Muscles that act in direct opposition
to prime movers
Synergists - Precise Answer ✔✔Muscles that assist prime movers
during functional movement patterns.
Stabilizers - Precise Answer ✔✔Muscles that support or stabilize the
body while the prime movers and the synergists perform the movement
patterns.
