NASM CPT Exam (2022/2023) (Correct Answers) Golgi tendon ✔✔musculotendonous junction that detects tension applied to tendon during slow static stretch. Cardio Output ✔✔amount of blood pump... ed out by each side of the heart in 1 min. Davie's Law ✔✔soft tissue models along the lines of stress. Reciprocal inhibition ✔✔muscles on one side of a joint relaxing to accommodate contraction on the other side of that joint. Agonist Muscle ✔✔the muscle that contracts to produce a movement; prime mover. Antagonist Muscle ✔✔the muscle that has an action opposite to that of the agonist and helps in the production of a coordinated movement. Prime Mover ✔✔the muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power. Static Stretching ✔✔a technique in which a muscle is slowly and gently stretched and then held in the stretched position. Autogenic Inhibition ✔✔the process when neural impulses that sense tension is greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles. Force Couple Relationship ✔✔muscle groups moving together to produce movement around a joint; muscles in a force-couple provide divergent pulls on the bone or bones they connect with which is a result of the fact that each muscle has different attachment sites, pulls at a different angle, and create a different force on that joint. Oxidative System ✔✔relies primarily on carbohydrates and fats for the production of ATP. This system is the slowest producing of the three systems because it requires increased amounts of O2 to match the muscular requirement of the exercise. O2 must be supplied through respiration, and it takes a while to elevate the respiration rate to consume appropriate amounts of O2. Needless to say, even though this system is the slowest producing, it results in the greatest amount of ATP. ATP-PC ✔✔phosphocreatine breakdown (occurs in cytoplasm), anaerobic pathway, immediately available, provides ATP for 10 secs, quick bursts of energy. Acetylcholine ✔✔a neurotransmitter that enables learning and memory and also triggers muscle contraction. Arthrokinematics ✔✔the motions of the joints in the body; joint motion. Synergistic Dominance ✔✔the body's substitution system when there is a weak or inhibited prime mover Sarcomere ✔✔the functional unit of muscle that produces muscular contraction and consists of repeating sections of actin and myosin. Sarcoplasm ✔✔cell components that contain glycogen, fats, minerals, and oxygen that are contained within the sarcolemma. Sarcolemma ✔✔a plasma membrane that surrounds muscle fibers. Gastrocnemius ✔✔Calf muscle that causes plantaflexion e.g. jumping. Lateral Gastrocnemius ✔✔flexes knee and plantarflexes foot. Hydrostatic Weighing ✔✔this method calculates the density of the body by immersing a person in water and measuring the amount of water that becomes displaced; most widely used laboratory procedure to determine body density. Split Routine System ✔✔breaks up the body into parts to be trained on separate days. Peripheral Heart Action System ✔✔A variation of circuit training that uses different exercises (upper and lower body) for each set through the circuit. 8-20 reps. per exercise. Pituitary Gland ✔✔the master gland of the endocrine system. Endocrine System ✔✔the system of glands that produce endocrine secretions that help to control bodily metabolic activity. Alarm Reaction ✔✔first stage of the general adaptation syndrome, the initial reaction to a stressor. General Adaptation Syndrome ✔✔a term used to describe the body's adaptive response to stress in three states--alarm, resistance and exhaustion. Open End Question ✔✔a question that is structured so that it requires a broad response to a topic and cannot be answered with a yes/no; also known as open-response question; non-directive question; invites discussion. Closed End Question ✔✔a question that is structured so that it requires a short, precise response; also known as closed-response question; directive question. Torque ✔✔a force that causes rotation. Acute Variables ✔✔important components that specify how each exercise is to be performed. They determine the amount of stress placed on the body and, ultimately, what adaptations the body will incur. Structural Efficiency ✔✔the alignment of the musculoskeletal system that allows our center of gravity to be maintained over our base of support. Dorsiflexion ✔✔moving the foot upward at the ankle joint. Plantarflexion ✔✔ankle movement pointing the foot downward. Altered Reciprical Inhibition ✔✔caused by a tight agonist muscle decreasing the neural drive to its functional antagonist. Upper Crossed Syndrome ✔✔a postural distortion syndrome characterized by a forward head and rounded shoulders. Pronation Distortion Syndrome ✔✔a postural distortion syndrome characterized by foot pronation (flat feet) and adducted and internally rotated knees (knock knees). Psoas ✔✔either of two muscles of the abdomen and pelvis that flex the trunk and rotate the thigh. Lower Crossed Syndrome ✔✔a postural distortion syndrome characterized by an anterior tilt to the pelvis (arched lower back). Left ventricle ✔✔chamber that removes oxygenated blood from the heart and transports it through the aorta to the rest of the body. finale ✔✔... [Show More]
