2025/ 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
rhabdomyolosis - correct answer -medical condition that may arise from breakdown of muscle
tissue and release of the muscle cells' contents into the bloodstream. This process can damage
the kidneys and may lead to renal failure or death in rare cases
Prevention of rhabdomyolosis in training - correct answer -• Follow the charter of mechanics,
consistency, intensity.
• Know the movements that have a higher rate of rhabdomyolysis incidence (those that prolong
the eccentric contraction), and be mindful of the total volume that is programmed with these
exercises.
• Scale workouts for clients appropriately.
• Avoid progressive scaling.
• Educate clients on the symptoms of rhabdomyolysis and when it is appropriate to seek
medical attention.
mechanics-consistency-intensity charter - correct answer -Slow and gradual increases in
intensity and volume allow
the body to acclimate to high-intensity and higher-volume exercise. Even athletes who
quickly demonstrate sound mechanics still need a gradual increase in intensity and volume.
When working with new athletes, trainers should focus on using modest loads, reducing volume
and coaching the athlete on technique.
,Symptoms of rhabdomyolosis - correct answer -severe generalized muscle pain, nausea and
vomiting,
abdominal cramping, and, in severe cases, dark-red or cola-colored urine.
virtuosity - correct answer -doing the common uncommonly well
qualities of an effective trainer - correct answer -Teaching.
• Seeing.
• Correcting.
• Group and/or gym management.
• Presence and attitude.
• Demonstration.
teaching - correct answer -The ability to effectively articulate and instruct the mechanics of each
movement. This includes the ability to focus on major points of performance before more
subtle or nuanced ones, and the ability to change instruction based on the athlete's needs and
capacity.
seeing - correct answer -The ability to discern good from poor movement mechanics and to
identify both gross and subtle faults whether the athlete is in motion or static
, correcting - correct answer -The ability to facilitate better mechanics for an athlete using visual,
verbal and/or tactile cues. This includes the ability to triage (prioritize) faults in order of
importance, which includes an understanding of how multiple faults are related.
group management - correct answer -The ability to organize and manage, both at a micro level
(within each class) and at the macro gym level. This includes managing time well; organization
of the space, equipment and participants for optimal flow and experience; planning ahead; etc.
presence and attitude - correct answer -The ability to create a positive and engaging learning
environment. The trainer shows empathy for athletes and creates rapport.
demonstration - correct answer -extends beyond moving well in a single class; demonstration
also means a trainer leads by example, adhering to the same range-of-motion standards as his
or her clients, following his or her own programming or nutrition advice, or putting forth the
positive and supportive attitude he or she wants to see in clients.
Principles of Coaching - correct answer -1) Master the fundamentals.
2) Limit the scope.
3) "Know what you don't know."
Nine foundational movements - correct answer -• The Air Squat
• The Front Squat
• The Overhead Squat
