ISSA/NCCPT CPT EXAM PREP QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS | 2026 | GUARANTEED SUCCESS Plyometric Jump Phases - answer-There are three phases: the eccentric (landing), amortization (transition), and concentric (jumping) phases. Eccentric Phase - answer-The controlled lengthening of a muscle, such as when lowering a weight or landing from a jump. Amortization Phase - answer-The brief transition period between the eccentric and concentric phases where the body stabilizes. Concentric Phase - answer-The shortening of the muscle, which is the 'pushing' or 'pulling' part of the movement, like jumping up or lifting a weight. Long-term Training Program - answer-A periodized structure, often progressing from general fitness to sport-specific and high-intensity work, sometimes categorized as Base, Build, and Specialty phases. Base Phase - answer-Often the initial phase of a program, focusing on building a foundation of general fitness, endurance, and strength with lower intensity and higher volume. Build Phase - answer-This phase increases the intensity and volume of the training to build more specific strength and muscle. Specialty/Peak Phase - answer-The final phase focuses on high-intensity training with very low volume, preparing the client for their specific goal or event.Behavioral Change Stages - answer-Preparation, Action, and Maintenance, to help clients make and sustain new habits. Nutrient Timing Phases - answer-These refer to how a client fuels their body around training, with phases like Energy, Anabolic, and Growth to support muscle recovery and glycogen restoration. Capillaries - answer-Tinv blood vessels located within the muscle fiber, play a crucial role in facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Type I fibers - answer-Contain a significant number of capillaries, allowing for an efficient delivery of oxygen to the working muscles. Type II fibers - answer-Have a lower count of capillaries compared to Type I fibers. Mitochondria - answer-Often known as the cell's 'powerhouse,' are responsible for converting energy derived from carbohydrates and fatty acids into usable energy for the cell.
