  • 2. 

    Failure to bend the knees and lower the body until the top surface of the legs at the hip joint are lower than the top of the knees will result in an unsuccessful squat attempt.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a person does not bend their knees and lower their body enough during a squat, their legs will not reach a position where the top surface of the legs at the hip joint is lower than the top of the knees. This is the correct technique for a successful squat. Therefore, the statement is true.

    The only factor in placing athletes into divisions is how much weight an athlete has previously lifted in each of the events.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Athletes are divisioned according to gender, age, ability and weight class.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    During a successful bench press, downward movement of the bar in the course of its being pressed out is acceptable.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    During a successful bench press, the bar should be moved upward, not downward. The downward movement of the bar in the course of its being pressed out is not acceptable and would indicate an incorrect technique. The correct technique involves pushing the bar upward to complete the lift successfully. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Athletes will be disqualified in which instance?

    • Their lift receives one red flag and two white flags

    • The majority of the judges determine the athlete intentionally dropped their weights

    • An athlete does not complete their last attempt

    Correct Answer
    A. The majority of the judges determine the athlete intentionally dropped their weights
    Explanation
    If the majority of the judges determine that the athlete intentionally dropped their weights, the athlete will be disqualified. This suggests that intentionally dropping weights is against the rules and considered a violation of the sport's regulations.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    An athlete weighing in above the upper limit for a weight class will be moved to the next heavier weight class.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If an athlete weighs above the upper limit for a weight class, it means that they exceed the maximum weight allowed for that particular class. In such cases, it is common practice to move the athlete to the next heavier weight class, as they would not be eligible to compete in the current weight class. This ensures fairness in competition and prevents athletes from having an unfair advantage due to their weight. Therefore, the statement "An athlete weighing in above the upper limit for a weight class will be moved to the next heavier weight class" is true.
