What are the three planes of movement? - correct answer -
Sagittal
Frontal
Transverse
A participant is performing a bench press. What type of kinetic
chain movement is this, and in what plane of movement does the
exercise occur? - correct answer -This exercise is an open-chain
movement and it occurs in the transverse plane.
How is an open-chain movement described? - correct answer -A
movement where the distal aspect of the extremity moves freely
and is not fixed to an object
How is a closed-chain movement described? - correct answer -A
movement where the distal segment meets considerable external
resistance and restrains movement.

Which chain of movement is more functional for daily living and
also is more stable for joints? - correct answer -Closed-chain
movement
A participant is performing forward lunges. What chain of
movement is this categorized under and in what plane is it
occurring? - correct answer -This type of movement is a closed-
chain movement and it occurs in the sagittal place.
What are the three systems that synthesize ATP in our bodies
during exercise? - correct answer -Phosphagen
Anaerobic
Aerobic
A long-distance runner would be pulling from what source of ATP
in his or her body? - correct answer -This kind of athlete would
primarily use the Aerobic System to synthesize ATP
For 100 meter sprinters or a gymnast performing on the vault,
what system would he/she be using in his/her body to produce
, Page | 3
ATP? - correct answer -These are examples of athletes that
would use the Phosphagen system to synthesize ATP
What system synthesizes ATP at a somewhat slow rate, lasting
for anywhere between one to three minutes of energy? - correct
answer -Anaerobic System
Steps to take if you suspect a fracture: - correct answer -Keep
victim still to prevent movement of or weight bearing on injured
part
Remove clothes from injury to allow assessment of severity and
prevent contamination
Cover open fractures with sterile gauze or clean cloth. Activate
EMS and have victim lay down.
Leave protruding bones alone
If victim must be transported, make a splint. If extremity is grossly
deformed, just prevent the limb from moving
What is an isometric contraction? - correct answer -Holding the
muscles still while resisting gravity or external resistance
, Page | 4
What are the 4 types of shock? - correct answer -Hypovolemic -
caused by severe bleeding
Obstructive - caused by something obstructing blood flow to the
heart like a blood clot
Distributive - caused by abnormal blood distribution through
dilated blood vessels, like from an allergic reaction/spinal injury
Cardiogenic - failure of heart to pump effectively, like cardiac
arrest or cardiomyopathy
Considerations when teaching participants with MS: - correct
answer -Treatment strategy aims to slow the progression of
disease
Allow more time for the start and completion of movements
Incorporate stretching as a major portion to combat spasticity
Balance becomes an issue/ ensure precautions to prevent falling
As balance worsens, create exercises that can be done sitting
Swimming in water below 80 degrees is very beneficial; warmer
water can cause premature fatigue
Avoid high heat and humidity
Void the bladder often, as bladder control worsens with MS
General Exercise Recommendations for Older Adults - correct
answer -Design interventions that can be reproduced at home
