Semi-dynamic balance
What is the blood pressure measurement that occurs when the heart is at rest or between beats?

Improving this using balance training would most likely decrease the risk of injury.
Injury resistance
When a muscle is held during a stretch for a prolonged period, the GTO is activated, which results in the muscle relaxing. What is this action called?
Autogenic inhibition
What do you visualize to detect the movement impairment shoulder elevation?
The shoulders moving upward toward the ears

20 to 35% of total calories
Which muscles are typically overactive in association with upper crossed syndrome?
Upper trapezius
How can basal metabolic rate (BMR) best be defined?
The amount of energy required to maintain the body at rest
Which of the following tests is used to measure lateral speed and agility?
Lower extremity functional test (LEFT)
If someone specifically wanted to burn a lot of fat (not necessarily total calories), what type of exercise should they do?
Low- to moderate-intensity exercise for 30 to 60 minutes
Abnormal breathing may be associated with which of the following effects?
Shallow rapid breaths with use of the sternocleidomastoid
What are two medical precautions for self-myofascial techniques?
Joint hypermobility and scoliosis
Which benefit will positively affect the body through integrated training?
Improved sleep
What is the intended outcome of stage 2 training?
To increase the workload (e.g., speed, incline) in a way that helps clients exercise at higher intensities and achieve greater levels of aerobic fitness
Which of the following describes structural scoliosis?
Altered bone shape through the spine
Which of the following is not a tracked component on an athlete’s macrocycle annual training plan?
Cardio training
Starting at what percentage of bone density loss does the risk of hip fracture increase by 2.5 times?
10%
What is the term for the higher-than-normal energy expenditure during the recovery period after exercise?
Excess postexercise oxygen consumption
Which muscle would be considered underactive, leading to shoulder elevation during the pushing assessment?
Lower trapezius
Which term best describes observable movement of the limbs?
Osteokinematics
When family members are not supportive of exercise-related behaviors, it can be viewed as which of the following?
A barrier to exercise
According to the “iceberg effect,” which of the following training adaptations are considered “surface level”?
Endurance
How far down should a client squat during the barbell squat exercise?
As far as can be controlled without compensating
What is excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)?
EPOC is the increase in aerobic metabolism above baseline that occurs for a period after exercise.
What is defined as shortness of breath or labored breathing?
Dyspnea
Contraction of the erector spinae and hip flexor muscles creates what motion of the pelvis in the sagittal plane?
Anterior pelvic tilt
Individuals with low-back pain have decreased activation of which local muscle of the core?
Multifidus
Which muscle would be considered overactive, leading to the excessive forward trunk lean during the overhead squat assessment?
Hip flexors
Posture of the spine is primarily controlled by which muscles of the core?
Local muscles
Which of the following muscle groups work both eccentrically and concentrically in the sagittal plane during a squat?
Quadriceps
Stored energy from an efficiently functioning stretch-shortening cycle is released during which muscle action?
Concentric

What component of breathing improves blood flow back to the heart?
Inspiration with a decrease in intrathoracic pressure
Research has demonstrated that moderate-intensity exercise is best for which of the following?
Providing psychological benefits
Calcium is often associated with bone health, but why is it also important for muscular function?
It stimulates actin and myosin activity.
