WorksheetsChapter 10 Practice Quiz — Muscular Training Assessments
Total questions: 24
Worksheet time: 12mins
Why are muscular training assessments important before designing a workout program?
They replace the need for warm-ups
They help determine safe exercise intensity and progression
They guarantee faster results
They eliminate the need for client goals
Which assessment is BEST used to observe posture while a client is standing still?
Movement pattern assessment
Muscular endurance assessment
Static postural assessment
Power assessment
Excessive rounding of the upper back is commonly referred to as:
Lordosis
Kyphosis
Scoliosis
Pelvic tilt
Which of the following is MOST likely a correctible factor?
Congenital spinal deformity
Structural scoliosis
Poor postural habits
Bone malformation
A client who sits most of the day is MOST likely to display which posture deviation?
Posterior pelvic tilt
Anterior pelvic tilt
Neutral pelvis
Thoracic extension
An anterior pelvic tilt is often associated with excessive curvature of the:
Upper spine
Cervical spine
Lumbar spine
Thoracic spine
Which assessment should be avoided for a client experiencing active low-back pain?
Static posture observation
Balance assessment
Core endurance battery
Flexibility screen
Which test is specifically used to assess hip-flexor tightness?
Sit-and-reach test
Y-Balance test
Thomas test
Push-up test
Standing up from a chair is an example of which movement category?
Pushing
Pulling
Single-leg
Bend-and-lift
Knees moving excessively forward during a squat MOST often indicate:
Weak quadriceps
Glute dominance
Quadriceps dominance
Strong hamstrings
A collapsing low back during a push assessment suggests weakness in which muscle group?
Hip flexors
Abdominals
Quadriceps
Calves
During a standing row, forward head movement usually indicates weakness in the:
Upper trapezius
Cervical flexors
Mid and lower trapezius
Latissimus dorsi
When a client feels uncomfortable being assessed, the trainer should FIRST:
Ignore the concern and continue
Explain assessment data immediately
Acknowledge feelings and ask open-ended questions
Cancel all assessments
Before performing an upper-body endurance test, the trainer should assess:
Client motivation
Push-up technique history
Presence of pain or injury
Training goals
Push-up assessments primarily measure:
Power
Balance
Muscular endurance
Muscular flexibility
Proper spotting for the bench press includes:
Narrow stance and alternate grip
Wide stance and pronated grip
Standing at the client’s side
Hands-off spotting
During a 1-RM squat test, appropriate depth is:
Quarter squat only
Knees slightly above parallel
Knees slightly below parallel
Any depth is acceptable
After a warm-up set in a 1-RM test, weight should increase by approximately:
1–3%
5–10%
15–20%
30–40%
When estimating a 1-RM instead of testing it directly, the main goal is to:
Improve endurance
Reduce injury risk
Increase flexibility
Speed up assessments
Submaximal strength tests with very high repetitions primarily assess:
Power
Speed
Muscular endurance
Agility
Which assessment BEST measures anaerobic power?
1-RM bench press
Vertical jump
Push-up test
Balance test
In the power equation (Power = Force × Velocity), velocity refers to:
Weight lifted
Time under tension
Distance divided by time
Muscle size
Before speed and agility testing, the BEST warm-up includes:
Static stretching only
Light cardio and dynamic movements
Maximum-effort sprints
Resistance training
Why should speed and agility drills be performed early in a workout?
They require high coordination and low fatigue
They improve flexibility
They reduce heart rate
They improve recovery
