1. A certified personal trainer wants to improve a client's outcome
expectations for resistance training. What behavior change technique might
they use?: providing information on the health benefits
2. What phase of the opt model would hypertrophy fall under?: phase 3
3. Which adl would be most likely to involve the hip hinge?: cleaning
4. Which of the following injuries is characterized by a sharp pain in the
bottom of the heel that makes it difficult to walk?: plantar fasciitis
5. What principle is hydrostatic underwater weighing based upon?:
archimedes' principle

provided, what would be the best number of saq drills per workout?: 6 to 10
Drills
7. Which is a primary adaptation of the stabilization endurance phase?:
postural alignment
,8. Why are proper frontside mechanics in sprinting important?: frontside
mechanics align the lead leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help
propel the body forward.
9. What ideally should follow a day of high-intensity training in stage 3?: a
stage 1 day (recovery day) should follow a hard stage 3 training day.
10. Which system supplies neural input to organs that run the involuntary
processes of the body?: autonomic nervous system
11. When discussing fitness trackers and heart rate monitors, which of the
following statements is the most accurate?: fitness trackers provide the user
with conformational feedback, such as a recorded history of exercise time and
effort.
12. Which of the following is an appropriate assessment for a senior client who
is sedentary?: pushing test
13. Which of the following is a question that may provoke resistance?: what
makes you think you are not at risk?
14. What is the most valid measurement of aerobic fitness?: vo2max
15. What is defined as the specific outline created by a fitness professional that
details the form of training, length of time, and specific exercises to be
performed?: training plan
16. Which of the following modalities has the potential to be used effectively in
every phase of the opt model?: cable machines
17. What type of imagery occurs when a client imagines health-related
outcomes?: appearance imagery
, 18. What are the recommended training variables for dynamic stretching?: 1 set,
10 to 15 repetitions, 3 to 10 exercises
19 receptors involved with this sense are specifically responsible for
determining foot position while standing on an unstable surface:
somatosensation
20. What is the best description of a steady-state heart rate?: any stage at which
the physiological response of heart rate from the cardiovascular system becomes
relatively constant in relation to the amount of work being performed
21. What bmi score is considered within normal limits?: 18.5 to 24.9
22. What is a drop set?: an approach that involves performing a set to failure,
then removing a small percentage of the load and continuing with the set
23. You are training a youth client. What is the best choice for number of saq
drills per workout for this athlete?: 4 to 8 drills per workout
24. During a squat, the lowering phase would be described as what type of
muscle action?: eccentric
25. When a person loses body weight, what is the only way that mass is lost?:
as exhaled carbon dioxide
26. What is osteoporosis?: a disease in which the density and quality of bone
tissue is reduced, causing bones to become weak and fragile
27. What is end diastolic volume?: the amount of blood in the ventricle before
contraction
