FMS Level 1 Exam UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
10 Neurodevelopment Sequences - CORRECT ANSWER 1. supine
2. prone
3. rolling
4. quadruped
5. crawling
6. sitting
7. kneeling
8. squatting
9. vertical stance
10. gait
Fundamental Level of Neurodevelopment Sequence - CORRECT ANSWER supine,
prone, rolling, quadruped, crawling
Transitional Level - CORRECT ANSWER sitting, kneeling, squatting
Functional Level - CORRECT ANSWER vertical stance, gait
Principle 1 - CORRECT ANSWER Natural Principle
Natural Principle states - CORRECT ANSWER move well, then move often
What is the Natural Principal - CORRECT ANSWER - move well = develop functional
capacity to adapt and develop
- move often = give contact to environment to expose and explore ourselves to new
movement
, Principle 2 - CORRECT ANSWER Ethical Principal
Ethical Principles states - CORRECT ANSWER protect, correct, and development
movement of those in our care
What is the Ethical Principle - CORRECT ANSWER - protect = address pain, avoid
patterns & exercises of dysfunction or pain; precedes correction
Principle 3 - CORRECT ANSWER Practical Principle
Practical Principle states - CORRECT ANSWER create systems that enforce our
philosophy
What is the Practical Principle - CORRECT ANSWER implementation of standard
operating procedures, practice of intelligent selection, matching risk to challenge ratio to
growth and development desired
Optimum Performance Pyramid - CORRECT ANSWER
What is shown from the Optimum Pyramid? - CORRECT ANSWER - athlete with
movement patterns, movement efficiency, and sport skills that are balanced and adequate
- has appropriate or optimal functional movement
- demonstrate average or above average power production
- demonstrate average or optimal sport specific skill
Over-Powered Performance Pyramid - CORRECT ANSWER
The Over-Powered Pyramid shows - CORRECT ANSWER - scores poor on
mobility/stability but high in power production
