NASM STRETCHING AND FLEXIBILITY PRACTICE TEST 2025
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔Which of the following receptors causes autogenic inhibition in skeletal muscles as a
result of tensed collagen - ✔✔Golgi tendon organs
✔✔Which of the following helps the fitness professional to address a client who is
hypomobile after an assessment? - ✔✔Flexibility and stretching
✔✔Why is it important to assess a client's breathing when constructing a stretching
program? - ✔✔Stretching sessions have more desirable outcomes when breathing
techniques are optimized.
✔✔How does the stretch reflex prevent injury? - ✔✔Mechanoreceptors detect quick and
powerful changes in tissue length and cause a contraction in the muscle.
✔✔What type of fascia encases all bones in the body? - ✔✔Periosteum
✔✔Which of the following is decreased as a result of excessive tension within the
muscular and fascial systems? - ✔✔Range of motion
✔✔Which of the following defines biotensegrity? - ✔✔The relationship between tension
and compression elements that describe force vector concepts applied to biology and
the human body.
✔✔Which of the following conditions could cause excessive tension in the central
nervous system (CNS), leading to a referral to a medical professional? - ✔✔History of
stroke
✔✔Which of the following describes the type of resistance that stops motion of the
muscle as soon as a stretch begins? - ✔✔Blocked
✔✔What is the goal of assisted stretching during a dynamic warm-up for fitness
training? - ✔✔To increase nervous system activity without pre-exhaustion
✔✔Which of the following would cause visceral motility? - ✔✔Cesarean section (C-
section) scar
✔✔ Flexibility - ✔✔Normal extensibility (ability to stretch) of all soft tissues (contractile
and non-contractile) that allow the complete range of motion (ROM) of a joint.
✔✔functional anatomy - ✔✔collection of parts that mechanically move and work
together to perform tasks.
