EXAM NEWEST 2026 ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED
ANSWERS) ALL ANSWERED {65 Q & A} ALREADY
GRADED A+ | 100% GUARANTEED PASS
Ballistic - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > bouncing or jerking
does not work
may cause injury
Benefits of Exercise - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > increased longevity,
strengthens bones, improves mood, fights depression, reduces
stress, daily functions, better sleep, increased flexibility, reduces
risk of CVD, reduces risk of cancer, reduces aches/pains,
reduces risk of injury, weight control, improved balance,
improved reaction time, improved self-image
Aerobic endurance - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Cardio-respiratory vs
cardiovascular
HR tells us level of fitness and intensity of exercise
,Page 2 of 16
THR is determined lower for first 4-6 weeks
upper limit is intermediate and advanced
Karvonen Formula - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > 220-age= Maximum Heart
Rate (MHR)
MHR-Resting Heart Rate(RHR)=Heart Rate ReserveHRR
HRR*.6=A desired intensities
HRR*.85=B
A+RHR=Lower THRZ
B+RHR=Upper THRZ Target heart rate zones
Components of Physical Fitness - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Body
composition
flexibility
Aerobic Endurance
Muscular Endurance
Muscular Strength
Body composition - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > scale weight: 2-4 pound
daily fluctuations are normal
Body Mass Index: BMI (Wt/ht squared)
, Page 3 of 16
Body Fat: Hydrostatic weighing(uww), skin calipers, bioelectrical
impedance (BIA), Goal-<20men <25women
Flexibility - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Static
PNF
Ballistic
Static - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > slowly move to point of mild discomfort
PNF - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > joint is moved to point of mild discomfort
6s is maximal voluntary isometric contraction
joint is further stretched to mild discomfort
new position is maintained for 10-30s
Proprioceptors - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > musculotendinous
labryinthine
Cardiorespiratory Physiology - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Heart Rate HR
Stroke Volume SV
Cardiac Output Q
Ejection Fraction EF
Blood Pressure
