Section 3 Test NASM Review

Movement represents the integrated functioning of which three main body systems?

• Muscular, nervous, and skeletal

• Muscular, ligamentous, and skeletal

• Nervous, ligamentous, and vascular

• Nervous, skeletal, and vascular

In what plane of movement do shoulder horizontal adduction and abduction occur?

• Frontal

• Transverse

• Sagittal

• Dorsal

Movements that take place within a joint and are not visible to the human eye may be classified in what way?

• Arthrokinematic

• Osteokinematic

• Anterior

• Posterior

Pronation of the foot describes what multiplanar movements?

• Inversion, dorsiflexion, and ankle adduction

• Eversion, dorsiflexion, and ankle abduction

• Eversion, dorsiflexion, and ankle adduction

• Eversion, plantar flexion, and ankle abduction

What movement term is used to describe the concept of adducting the shoulder blades so that they become closer together?

• Scapular protraction

• Scapular retraction

• Scapular elevation

• Scapular depression

What term is used to describe muscle tension that is created without a change in muscle length and no visible movement of the joint?

• Concentric

• Isokinetic

• Isometric

• Eccentric

In order to optimally load muscle during the eccentric phase, the fitness professional should recommend which of the following?

• Lower the weight faster to reduce time under tension

• Lower the weight more slowly to increase time under tension

• Reduce the resistance so it is less than it was in the concentric phase, and lower the weight more slowly to increase time under tension

• Reduce the resistance so it is less than it was in the concentric phase, and lower the weight faster to reduce time under tension

What type of muscle action would expend the highest amount of energy at a fixed resistance level over a comparable duration?

• Eccentric

• Isometric

• Isotonic

• Concentric

During a squat, the lowering phase would be described as what type of muscle action?

• Concentric

• Isometric

• Eccentric

• Isokinetic

Which of the following muscle groups work both eccentrically and concentrically in the sagittal plane during a squat?

• Adductor longus

• Gluteus medius

• Quadriceps

• Biceps brachii
