Longitudinal Muscle
A muscle that produces low force and has a high contractile rate is classified as a _________
Dorsiflexion; talus
The ankle's
... [Show More] most stable position is in ______ due to the overall shape of the ______
Moderate Risk
During the pre-participation screening your client is determined to have 4 risk factors. This is considered to be:
Contraindication
A reason or rationale NOT to perform exercise or testing
Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
If difficulties are encountered in calculating percentage VO2max for prescribing exercise intensity in cases of cardiac disease, the EP-C should instead consider
flexion; extension
A posterior pelvic tilt produces lumbar _____ and an anterior pelvic tilt produces lumbar _____
transverse plane
Pronation of the radioulnar joint occurs in:
Sagittal plane; flexion/extension
The facet joints of the lumbar spine are oriented in the _____ which primarily allows _____ motions
Supraliac
Which of the following utilizes a DIAGONAL fold when assessing body composition via skinfold calipers
Unable to externally rotate the shoulder joint past 60 degrees
While supine, your client performs ROM on the shoulder joint. She displays tightness in the infraspinatus and teres minor. You were led to this conclusion because the client was:
Cardiac Output
Defined as the volume of blood being pumped by the heart in a minute
Sagittal
Explanation:
Hyperlordosis is an exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine that would be viewed in the sagittal plane. Pg 98
Deviations in which plane are referred to as hyperlordosis:
4 compartments of the lower limb
1. Superficial posterior compartment (i.e. posterior tibial compartment on PrepU) (gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris)
2. Deep posterior compartment (posterior tibialis, flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus)
3. Lateral compartment -- outside of the leg (peroneus longus, peroneus brevis)
4. Anterior compartment (anterior tibialis, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus.
1, 2, 3 are plantarflexion
4 is dorsiflexion
Which of the following is MOST accurate regarding exercise testing and pregnant women?
Submaximal exercise testing is more appropriate, however rarely indicated.
Aerobic Exercise Training
Which of the following has the greatest effect on the reduction of blood pressure
Kinesiology
The study of the mechanics of human movement is called:
Dyslipidemia
Total 200 mg/dL or HDL <40 mg/dL or LDL >130 mg/dL
horizontal abduction
What joint action of the shoulder is performed during a reverse cable fly or a reverse dumbbell fly
extension; sagittal
Concentric contraction of the triceps brachii muscle causes _____ in the _____ plane
Total peripheral resistance may drop slightly
During graded exercise, which of the following occurs due to large muscle vasodilation?
Conduct a familiarization period of no less than two weeks.
Which of the following is a recommended procedure for administering a 1-RM strength test?
Narrow the base of support
To manipulate the intensity and increase the challenge of balance-related training, you should:
Decreased body weight
For most clients, a positive effect of consistent energy deficit is:
100% fruit juice
Which of the following counts as part of the fruit group:
The correlation between obesity and increased chronic disease risk
One of the MOST important reasons for assessment of your client's body composition is:
Color your plate
Which of the following is a key recommendation of the 2010 USDA dietary guidelines
gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus
(Of these 4 muscles the Prep U course only requires the gluteus maximus for the answer to this specific question, but its worth knowing all 4 of the muscles are responsible for the action of hip extension)
Which of the following is responsible for hip extension: [Show Less]
