NASM Missed Qs

What is adaptive thermogenesis?

• Adaptations to exercise due to changes in energy intake

• Changes in energy intake due to changes in energy expenditure

• Metabolic adaptations and changes in energy expenditure due to changes in energy intake

• Increased heat production due to changes in energy expenditure

During balance training, gluteal muscles should remain in which state to hold the body stable?

• Eccentrically contracted

• Concentrically contracted

• Relaxed

• Isometrically contracted

What type of vessel is responsible for carrying blood back to the heart?

• Arteries

• Arterioles

• Capillaries

• Veins

Which muscle would be considered underactive, leading to arms falling forward in the overhead squat assessment?

• Teres major

Ambivalent people may be reluctant to start an exercise program. What should the fitness professional focus on when helping a potential client overcome this barrier?

• Probe further to determine other barriers they are experiencing and possible motives to participate.

• Let them know you understand it is a difficult decision to participate and you will give them time to think about it.

• Let them know that you will not take no for an answer because exercise is good for everyone.

• Provide information about the benefits of participating and hope they decide to participate.

What is the process in which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles? 

• Isometric contraction

• Autogenic inhibition

• Stretch reflex

• Reciprocal inhibition

Why is nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) important?

• NEAT can increase cardiorespiratory fitness.

• NEAT can decrease the resting metabolic rate.

• NEAT can increase muscle mass.

  
  

• NEAT can be protective against obesity.

The number of sidewalks available in a community is an example of which of the following?

• The built environment

• The assembled environment

• The constructed environment

• The manufactured environment
