NASM CPT Final Exam Latest Update 2024-2025 Actual Exam 300+ Questions and 100% Verified Correct Answers Guaranteed A+ Verified by Professor
• Diagnosing disease or injury - CORRECT ANSWER: not part of our scope of practice refer to a licensed physician
• Energy pathways and when they are utilized in exercise (e.g., which ones are most likely being used during a 40-yard sprint vs. a 90-minute
endurance race?). - CORRECT ANSWER: a 90 minute endurance- aerobic metabolism
a 40 yd sprint: ATP phosphocreatine
acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER: the rate at which an object is increasing in speed
acidosis - CORRECT ANSWER: the accumulation of excessive hydrogen ions in the
body, causing increased acidity of the blood and muscle.
action stage transthoeretical model - CORRECT ANSWER: exercise regularly but it
hasnt been for 6months just yet. plan to maintain
Active Flexibility - CORRECT ANSWER: Active flexibility uses self-myofascial release and active-isolated stretching techniques. Active-isolated stretching is designed to improve the extensibility of soft tissue and increase neuromuscular efficiency by using reciprocal inhibition. Active-isolated stretching allows for agonists and synergists muscles to move a limb through a full range of motion while functional antagonists are being stretched. For example, supine straight-leg raise uses hip flexors and quads to raise leg and hold it unsupported, whiel antagonist hamstring complex is stretched.Active flexibility appropriate at strength levels(phase 2,3, and 4) of OPT model.
- / 4
active force - CORRECT ANSWER: muscle tension that is generated by its contractile elements
acute variables for each opt phase - CORRECT ANSWER: Muscular endurance and
stabilization is best developed with intensity of 50 to 70% 1RM Hypertrophy achieved with 75 to 85% 1RM Maximal strength with 85 to 100% 1RM Power with 30 to 45% 1RM
afferent neurons - CORRECT ANSWER: nerve impulse that move toward the spinal
cord and brain from the periphery of the body and are sensory in nature.
AGILITY - CORRECT ANSWER: ABILITY TO MAINTAIN CENTER OF GRAVITY OVER
A CHANGING BASE OF SUPPORT WHILE CHANGING DIRECTION AT VARIOUS
SPEEDS
agonists - CORRECT ANSWER: muscles that work as the prime mover in an exercise
altered arthrokinematics - CORRECT ANSWER: altered joint motion caused by altered length tension relationships and force couple relationships that affects the joints and causes poor movement efficiency.
altered neuromuscular efficiency - CORRECT ANSWER: when the kinetic chain is not performing optimally to control the body in all three planes of motion
altered reciprocal inhibition - CORRECT ANSWER: process by which a short muscle, a tight muscle and or myofascial adhesions in the muscle cause decreased neural drive of its functional antagonist.
amino acids - CORRECT ANSWER: the building blocks of proteins composed of a
central carbon atom, a hydrogen atom, an amino group, a carboxyl group and an R- group. 2 / 4
AMORTIZATION PHASE - CORRECT ANSWER: SECOND PHASE OF THE
INTEGRATED PERFORMANCE PARADIGM REQUIRING AN ISOMETRIC MUSCLE
CONTRACTION
ancillary revenue - CORRECT ANSWER: revenue beyond the sale of memberships and
services generated by the direct sale of products to customers.
antagonists - CORRECT ANSWER: muscles that oppose the prime mover
anterior - CORRECT ANSWER: front of the body
apendicular skeleton - CORRECT ANSWER: portion of the skeleton that includes the bones that connect to the spinal column including upper and lower extremities.
aponeurosis - CORRECT ANSWER: a white tendinous sheet that attaches muscle to
bone
Application to goal-setting principles (e.g., what can a trainer do to help a
client reach their goals?). - CORRECT ANSWER: Self-monitoring
-usually done in the form of daily written record of the behavior that a client is trying to change -exercise log -inclue time, exercises, calories expended, and perceived heart rate, how much sleep at night, type of foods eaten, emotional feelings Psyching Up -use other techniques used to get psyched up for other situation in life -important to use outside examples of how your client gets psyched up for work, shopping, projects -list of positive thoughts, keywords, imagery, specific food, music 3 / 4
-figuring out what works in different situations on different days and during different times
Appropriate tempo for all exercises. - CORRECT ANSWER: Muscular endurance and
stabilization is best developed with slow rep tempo. One example would be 4 sec eccentric, 2 sec isometric, 1 sec concentric(4/2/1).Hypertrophy is achieved at moderate tempo, one example would be 2 second eccentric,
- isometric, and 2 second concentric.(2/0/2)
arteries - CORRECT ANSWER: vessels that transport blood away from the heart
arthrokinematics - CORRECT ANSWER: motions of the joints in the body
Aspects of proper spotting technique. - CORRECT ANSWER: spot the wrists on a
strength exercise
Assessments that can be performed on special populations (e.g., a
pregnant client) - CORRECT ANSWER: Push, pull, overhead squat
Single-leg squat or balance
atrioventricular node - CORRECT ANSWER: small mass of specialized cardiac muscle fibers located on the wall of the right atrium of the heart that receives impulses from the SA node and directs them to the walls of the ventricles.
atrioventricular valves - CORRECT ANSWER: valves that allow for proper blood flow from the atria to the ventricles.
Atrium - CORRECT ANSWER: Superior(upper) chamber of the heart that receives
blood from veins and forces it into ventricles. Deoxygenated blood.
axial skeleton - CORRECT ANSWER: portion of the skeletal system consists of the
bones of the skull, ribcage and vertebral column
