B. Free weights are expensive in comparison to other strength-training modalities.
C. Free weights are not designed to fit all body types.
D. Free weights may require a spotter to ensure safety.
D
Which of the following is true of free weights?
A. Free weights are commonly used by novice lifters to perform supersets and circuit training workouts.
B. Free-weight exercises can be easily progressed to provide greater demands on core stability and proprioception by progressing from bilateral to unilateral movements.
C. Free-weight exercises can be the strength modality of choice for those who lack stability or have functional limitations, such as the elderly.
D. Free-weight exercises are performed by novice exercisers without the assistance of a spotter.
B
Which of the following can be effectively used in all phases of the Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model? A. Kettlebell training B. Suspension body-weight training C. Free-weight training D. Elastic resistance training
C
In order to offer resistance in a cable biceps curl, the cable should be positioned in a _____.
A. vertical motion against elbow flexion
B. horizontal motion against elbow extension
C. vertical motion against elbow extension
D. horizontal motion against elbow extension
A
When performing a \_\_\_\_\_, the cable should be positioned to offer resistance in a vertical motion against elbow flexion. A. standing triceps extension B. biceps curl C. standing cable row D. dumbbell chest press
B
When performing a \_\_\_\_\_, the resistance must be placed in such a way to resist elbow extension. A. standing triceps extension B. biceps curl C. standing cable row D. dumbbell chest press
A
When performing a \_\_\_\_\_, the resistance should be positioned to resist shoulder extension and scapular retraction. A. standing triceps extension B. biceps curl C. standing cable row D. dumbbell chest press
C
When performing a \_\_\_\_\_, the resistance should be positioned to resist shoulder horizontal adduction. A. standing triceps extension B. standing cable crunch C. standing cable row D. standing cable chest press
D
Cable machines are an excellent option to challenge the core while having individuals perform exercises in a \_\_\_\_\_ position versus seated as seen in many machine exercises. A. tripod B. standing C. supine D. prone
B
Identify an inexpensive alternative to training with resistance. A. Elastic resistance training B. The Smith machine C. The seated calf raise machine D. Power rack training
A
Which of the following is true of elastic resistance-training techniques?
A. A disadvantage of elastic resistance-training techniques is that the tension in rubber remains the same as it is being pulled through a full range of motion.
B. Elastic resistance may not be the ideal modality for individuals seeking hypertrophy or maximal strength.
C. Elastic resistance cannot be used in Phases one, two, and five of the Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model.
D. A disadvantage of elastic resistance-training techniques is that they work in one plane of motion and can limit one’s ability to develop strength in all planes of motion.
B
Which of the following marks the difference between elastic resistance-training techniques and strength-training machines?
A. Unlike strength-training machines, elastic resistance-training techniques allow clients to move in multiple planes of motion and oftentimes achieve a greater range of motion during training.
B. Unlike strength-training machines, elastic resistance-training techniques are ideal for improving maximal strength.
C. Unlike strength-training machines, elastic resistance-training techniques are one of the oldest means of resistance training dating back to the Greeks and Egyptians nearly 3,000 years ago.
D. Unlike strength-training machines, elastic resistance-training techniques can be potentially dangerous for novice exercisers until proper exercise technique is mastered.
A
Which of the following allows a client to perform resisted exercises that mimic sport-specific movements such as a golf swing or tennis forehand? A. Elastic resistance training B. Medicine balls training C. Kettlebell training D. Stability ball training
