NASM STRETCHING AND FLEXIBILITY STUDY GUIDE 2025
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔Which of the following defines fascial nets? -✔✔The tissue that makes up the fascial
system and how it protects muscle and nerves from injury.
✔✔Which of the following terms defines the neuromuscular system's capacity to
activate muscle synergies at the correct time with appropriate force to complete
functional task with the least amount of stress and energy to the HMS? -✔✔Functional
efficiency
✔✔Why is it important to have structural efficiency and the alignment of each
component of the human movement system (HMS)? -✔✔This enables an individual to
maintain their center of gravity over a constantly changing base of support during all
functional movements
✔✔Which of the following factors are improved with the use of the Fascial System (FS)
model? -✔✔Assessments and programs bodywork, physical therapy, regenerative
medicine, fitness, and stretch therapy.
✔✔Which of the following terms defines the concept that a client's primary complaint is
affected by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal regions? -✔✔Regional
interdependence model
✔✔Which of the following terms describes self-myofascial techniques combined with
assisted- and self-stretching techniques? -✔✔Integrated stretching
✔✔Which of the following explains why there are many varying types of manual and
movement therapies to address fascial dysfunctions? -✔✔Fascia is vulnerable to many
types of dysfunction because it is widespread and has an integrative function.
✔✔What updated models have been used to create an integrated stretching approach?
-✔✔Biomechanical
✔✔Which of the following may be true regarding stretching for a client? -✔✔It can be a
precursor into other types of fitness programs.
✔✔Which of the following is the second definition of fascia according to the Fascial
Research Society? -✔✔A three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing,
loose, and dense fibrous connective tissues that permeate the body.
