1. Which of the following muscle types is under voluntary control?
a. Cardiac
b. Skeletal
c. Smooth
d. Involuntary
Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, while cardiac and smooth
muscles operate involuntarily.
2. What is the primary energy system used during a 10-second sprint?
a. Aerobic glycolysis
b. Oxidative phosphorylation
c. ATP-PC system
d. Anaerobic glycolysis
The ATP-PC system provides immediate energy for short, explosive efforts
like sprinting.
, 3. Which of the following is a sign of overtraining?
a. Improved sleep
b. Decreased resting heart rate
c. Chronic fatigue
d. Increased appetite
Chronic fatigue, decreased performance, and poor recovery are all signs of
overtraining.
4. What is the correct order of periodization phases?
a. Strength → Power → Endurance → Hypertrophy
b. Power → Strength → Endurance → Hypertrophy
c. Endurance → Hypertrophy → Strength → Power
d. Hypertrophy → Power → Strength → Endurance
Periodization follows a logical progression: endurance base, hypertrophy,
strength, and then power.
5. Which of the following is NOT a function of the cardiovascular system?
a. Transportation of oxygen
b. Regulation of body temperature
c. Hormone production
d. Removal of waste products
The endocrine system, not the cardiovascular system, produces hormones.
6. A client with tight hip flexors will likely have what kind of postural
distortion?
a. Posterior pelvic tilt
b. Anterior pelvic tilt
c. Kyphosis
d. Scoliosis
Tight hip flexors pull the pelvis forward into an anterior tilt.
, 7. What is the primary movement at the elbow during a bicep curl?
a. Extension
b. Flexion
c. Adduction
d. Pronation
During a bicep curl, the elbow joint undergoes flexion.
8. Which macronutrient is the body's preferred source of energy?
a. Protein
b. Carbohydrate
c. Fat
d. Water
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and most efficient energy source.
9. Which type of muscle fiber is best suited for endurance activities?
a. Type IIa
b. Type IIx
c. Type I
d. Type III
Type I (slow-twitch) fibers are fatigue-resistant and ideal for endurance.
10. What is the recommended rest period between sets for maximal
strength training?
a. 15–30 seconds
b. 30–60 seconds
c. 2–5 minutes
d. 5–10 minutes
Maximal strength training requires longer rest periods to allow full
recovery of the nervous system.
