ACE Group Fitness Instructor Exam
Curriculum-based certificate - ANS-credential comprised of a course or serious of
courses on a topic with an end-of-course assessment
professional certification - ANS-credential awarded after certification that an individual
has demonstrated the knowledge and skill required to enter a job
when attending a one-day workshop focused on teaching indoor cycling BEST
describes what? - ANS-Modality Certificate
NCCA accreditation - ANS-an award to certification programs that meet all NCCA
standards
Scope of practice of GFI - ANS-educating participants about health-related topics to
facilitate long-term success
when is an individual FIRST responsible for adhering to the ACE code of ethics? -
ANS-When registering for ACE cert. exam
certification - ANS-provide an assessment of competence
certificates - ANS-part. has completed a course
specialization - ANS-part. to be highly skilled in a particular type of training
physicians are what of the allied healthcare continuum - ANS-gate keepers
best describes a certificate received after continuing education - ANS-designating that
an individual has completed a course on a specific topic
pre-choreographed class - ANS-instructors follow a written script with music, cues, and
moves outlined from start to finish
warm-up should include ... - ANS-redistributing blood flow to the working muscles
talk-test, heart rate and rating of perceived exertion are PRIMARILY for what segment
of group fitness - ANS-conditioning
,minimum recommendation for static stretching during post-condition cool-down segment
- ANS-perform one rep of a stretch for each major muscle group, holding each for at
least 15-30 sec
skill-related: ability to smoothly and accurately perform complex movement -
ANS-coordination
skill related: rapidly and accurately change position - ANS-agility
skill related: maintain equilibrium - ANS-balance
skill related: work at high velocity - ANS-power
skill related: time of stimulus to movement - ANS-reaction time
Skill related: perform within short time - ANS-speed
component of fitness: ability to perform repeated muscle contractions over a period of
time without fatigue - ANS-muscular endurance
component of fitness: oxygen working for sustainer physical activity -
ANS-cardiovascular endurance
component of fitness: Muscle exert maximum force - ANS-msucular strength
component of fitness: Range of motion - ANS-flexibility
component of fitness: Fat mass + fat-free mass - ANS-body comp
type of class the would be most appropriate for a part. that wants to focus on a
cardiorespiratory endurance workout - ANS-step
evidence-based recommendations for aerobic exercise include which of the following -
ANS-sedentary individuals can yield benefits for less than 20 mins of exercise each day
intermediate exercisers seeking to improve their strength - ANS-60-70% of 1RM
recommended repetition range of resistance exercises to improve muscular endurance -
ANS-15-20
, what are the three principles of training? - ANS-specificity, progressive overload,
reversibility
specificity - ANS-body part adapting to exercise made by a specific need from the body
progressive overload - ANS-improving physical fitness regularly and increasing
demands
reversibility - ANS-member discontinues their exercise program
what exercise occurs in the sagittal plane? - ANS-Dumbbell bicep curl
description of the frontal plan - ANS-splitting the body anteriorly and posteriorly
which joint is considered to be a section of the kinetic chain that favors stability over
mobility - ANS-lumbar spine
good example of balanced program design in group fitness class - ANS-single leg
balance combined with front planks
name of the movement when raising the top of the foot towards the front of the lower leg
- ANS-dorsiflexion
example of concentric contraction - ANS-upward phase of a pushup
example of aerobic system - ANS-jogging for 10 mins
if a participant can respond, but talking is a little challenging. Which zone of the
three-zone intensity model is the participant currently in - ANS-2
muscle that causes knee extension and hip flexion as a primary joint action -
ANS-Rectus femoris
hip abduction is the primary motion during the upward or lifting phase of what exercise -
ANS-side0lying leg lift
which exercise is the quadrates lumborum engaged as a primary muscle - ANS-side
plank
which muscles is responsible for adduction of the scapulae - ANS-middle traps
