Nasm CPT Final Exam Study Guide (Latest
Updates) Questions and
Answers 100% Correct (Verified Answers)-
{Grade A}
Synergistic Dominance - correct answer when the synergist take over for a weak
prime mover. May cause faulty movement patterns
EX: tight hip flexor -> decrease glute -> increase force from synergist (hamstring
complex, adductor magnus).
Arthrokinematics - correct answer motion of the joints
Arthrokinetic Dysfunction - correct answer biomechanical and neuromuscular
dysfuction leading to altered joint motion
Autogentic Inhibition - correct answer occurs when the neural impulses sensing
tension are greater than the impulses causing muscle contraction
,Pattern Overload - correct answer constantly repeating the same pattern of motion,
which could place abnormal stress on the body
Davis's Law - correct answer states that soft tissue models along the lines of stress
Static Stretching - correct answer traditional; the process of passively taking a muscle
to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds.
Active- Isolated Stretch - correct answer suggested for pre-activity warm up; process
of using agonist and synergist to dynamically move the joint into range of motion. 5- 10
reps/ 1-2 seconds
Dynamic Stretching - correct answer uses the force production and the momentum of
the body to take a joint through the full ROM
,Ex: prisoner squates, multiplanar lunges
Myofascial Release (FOAM ROLL) - correct answer by applying gentle force to a knot
the muscle fibers are altered from a bundled bunch to a straighter line.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness - correct answer The ability of the respiratory system to
supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during physical activity
Fat - correct answer a secondary source of energy
Trigylcerides - correct answer come from fats, when calories are consumed but not
used they are converted and stored in fat cells
, Protein - correct answer Amino acids that build and repair body tissues and
structures. A third energy source, usually not until starvation.
Recommended 0.8 g per day Adults, 1.2-1.7 per day strength athletes, 1.2-1.4 endurance
athletes
1 g = 4 calories
Gluconeogenesis - correct answer glucose form from non carb sources like amino
acids
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - correct answer Energy storage and transfer unit in
the cells. When chemical bonds that hold it together are broken, energy is released
Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) - correct answer molecule produced by ATP
