AFAA GFI EXAM PREP LATEST ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS 2024 |GRADED A+
Atria - ANSWER-Superior chambers; receive blood from outside the
heart
Right Atrium - ANSWER-Gathers deoxygenated blood from body
Sinoatrial (SA) - ANSWER-Located in right atrium; receives signal to
contract; "pacemaker for the heart". Initiates the electrical impulses
that determine the heart rate
Stroke Volume (SV) - ANSWER-Amount of blood pumped with each
contraction
What are the functions of blood? - ANSWER-transportation,
regulation, protection
Anterior - ANSWER-Front of body
Posterior - ANSWER-back of body
Superior - ANSWER-Above point of reference
Inferior - ANSWER-Below point of reference
,Proximal - ANSWER-Closer to the center of the body.
Distal - ANSWER-Farthest from the center of the body
Medial - ANSWER-Toward the midline of the body
Lateral - ANSWER-Further from midline of the body
Pronation - ANSWER-Tri-planar movement (eversion, dorsiflexion,
and abduction of feet)
Sagittal - ANSWER-Divides body into left and right halves; forward-
backward movement
Flexion - ANSWER-bending of joints; decreases relative angle
Extension - ANSWER-Straightening of joints; increases relative angle.
Plantar flexion - ANSWER-extension at ankle (pointing toes)
Dorsiflexion - ANSWER-Flexion at ankle (backward bending at ankle)
Frontal Plane - ANSWER-Divides the body into front and back halves;
side to side movement.
,Abduction - ANSWER-movement away from midline
Adduction - ANSWER-Movement towards the midline
Inversion - ANSWER-Bottom of foot rotates medially
Eversion - ANSWER-bottom of foot rotates laterally
Eccentric - ANSWER-Produces tension while lengthening in order to
resist or control an external force (ex: Bicep curl)
Horizontal abduction - ANSWER-lateral-rotational movement away
from midline
Horizontal adduction - ANSWER-Medial-rotational movement toward
the midline
Internal rotation - ANSWER-inward rotation of limbs
External rotation - ANSWER-outward rotation of limbs
Talk test - ANSWER-Self-evaluation of intensity associated with ability
to talk while exercising.
, The AFAA Five Questions - ANSWER-1. What is the purpose of this
exercise?
2. Are you doing the exercise effectively?
3. Does the exercise create any safety concerns?
4. Can proper form be maintained during the exercise?
5. For whom is the exercise appropriate?
Midline - ANSWER-Imaginary line that splits the body into two equal
parts.
Central Nervous System (CNS) - ANSWER-Brain and spinal cord;
coordinates activity of body parts
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - ANSWER-All nerves branching off
spinal cord; extending out of the body.
Mechanorecptors - ANSWER-Sense distortion in body tissue
Kinetic Chain - ANSWER-Interrelation of nervous, muscular and
skeletal systems to create movement.
Tendons - ANSWER-Connect muscle to bone, produce force, limited
blood flow, slow to repair.
Type 1 (slow twitch) muscle tissue - ANSWER-More aerobic, slower to
reach maximum contraction; resistant to fatigue.
