ATHLETIC BODY IN BALANCE
COMPREHENSIVE EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS GUARANTEED TO PASS
◉ Motor Programs. Answer: The brain's ability to store information
about movement.
◉ Proprioception. Answer: What does the body use through the senses
of touch and movement to learn new movement
patterns?
◉ Stabilizing Muscles. Answer: What are the muscular support
structures that support the joint when it is moved or loaded?
◉ Poor Biomechanics. Answer: A cause of micro trauma in the muscles
from moving with body compensations or suboptimal joint alignment.
◉ Performance pyramid. Answer: A model that illustrates the
relationship between functional movement and athletic performance.
◉ Overpowered Performance Pyramid. Answer: A performance level
where an athlete is high in power production but poor in mobility and
stability.
,◉ Optimum Performance Pyramid. Answer: A performance level where
an athlete demonstrates enough functional movement to handle the
power generated.
◉ Misdirected energy. Answer: Energy that results from poor posture,
poor technique, or improper warm-up.
◉ Soreness after training. Answer: Expected discomfort that should not
last longer than 24 hours.
◉ Functional Movement. Answer: The ability to perform basic
movements effectively and efficiently.
◉ Weak links in movement. Answer: Identifying areas of deficiency that
can hinder performance.
◉ Energy leak. Answer: An example of inefficient movement, such as
rounding the back during a deadlift.
◉ Training movement patterns. Answer: Drills designed to improve
common movements seen in sport.
, ◉ Fundamental movements. Answer: Basic movements that form the
foundation for more complex athletic skills.
◉ Evaluation of training programs. Answer: A step-by-step approach to
analyze an athlete's strengths and weaknesses.
◉ Inflammation. Answer: Joints handle inflammation less efficiently
than muscles.
◉ Pain during exercise. Answer: Indicates potential issues like muscle
imbalance.
◉ Trigger point. Answer: Section of muscle acting differently than
surrounding tissue.
◉ Weak link. Answer: A muscle area that contributes to overall
weakness.
◉ Microtrauma. Answer: Small injuries to muscle fibers from overuse.
◉ Post-trigger point release. Answer: Strengthen, rest, stretch, but not
train immediately.
