  • 2. 

    Which principle of training does the term 'use it or lose it' best apply to?

    • Reversibility

    • Specificity

    • Individuality

    • Progressive overload

    Correct Answer
    A. Reversibility
    Explanation
    The principle of training that the term 'use it or lose it' best applies to is reversibility. This principle states that if you do not continue to use and challenge your muscles or skills, they will deteriorate over time. In other words, if you stop exercising or practicing a certain skill, you will lose the gains or improvements you have made. This principle highlights the importance of consistent training and maintenance to prevent regression and maintain progress.

    Which component of the 'FITT principle' is more likely to be modified when doing home-based exercise?

    • Type

    • Time

    • Frequency

    • Intensity

    Correct Answer
    A. Type
    Explanation
    When doing home-based exercise, the type of exercise is more likely to be modified. This is because individuals may have limited equipment or space at home, which can affect the types of exercises they can perform. They may need to modify their exercise routine to accommodate their home environment and the equipment they have available.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following principles relate to when continued adaptations no longer occur?

    • Plateau

    • Overload

    • Regression

    • Adaptability

    Correct Answer
    A. Plateau
    Explanation
    The principle of plateau relates to when continued adaptations no longer occur. This principle suggests that after a period of progress and improvement, there comes a point where further progress becomes difficult or even impossible. This can be due to various factors such as reaching a physical or mental limit, lack of motivation or challenge, or the body adapting to a certain level of stimulus. In the context of fitness or skill development, reaching a plateau means that further gains or improvements are not easily achieved without changing the training program or introducing new challenges.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following is most likely to be associated with decreasing the speed of an exercise?

    • Improvement in technique

    • Greater potential for injury

    • Poor postural position

    • Increased cardiovascular fitness

    Correct Answer
    A. Improvement in technique
    Explanation
    Improvement in technique is most likely to be associated with decreasing the speed of an exercise because when individuals focus on improving their technique, they tend to slow down and pay more attention to their movements and form. By slowing down, they can ensure that they are performing the exercise correctly and efficiently, reducing the risk of injury and allowing for better muscle engagement. Additionally, slowing down can also help individuals to better understand and control their body movements, leading to overall improvement in their exercise performance.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    According to the ACSM, how many times per week should a client be training to improve muscular fitness?

    • 2-3

    • 4-5

    • 6+

    • 1-2

    Correct Answer
    A. 2-3
    Explanation
    According to the ACSM, a client should be training 2-3 times per week to improve muscular fitness. This frequency allows for enough rest and recovery between workouts while still providing enough stimulus to promote strength gains and muscle growth. Training more than 3 times per week may increase the risk of overtraining and injury, while training less than 2 times per week may not provide enough stimulus for optimal progress. Therefore, 2-3 times per week is the recommended frequency for improving muscular fitness.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following is not an example of a physical barrier to exercise?

    • Anxiety

    • Injury

    • Disability

    • Age

    Correct Answer
    A. Anxiety
    Explanation
    Anxiety is not an example of a physical barrier to exercise because it is a psychological barrier. While anxiety can certainly affect a person's ability to engage in physical activity, it is not a physical limitation or obstacle in itself. Physical barriers, on the other hand, refer to factors such as injury, disability, or age that directly impact a person's physical ability to exercise.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following is a common barrier to exercise?

    • Financial

    • Technique

    • Posture

    • Depression

    Correct Answer
    A. Financial
    Explanation
    Financial is a common barrier to exercise because many people may not have the financial means to afford gym memberships, exercise equipment, or fitness classes. The cost of these resources can be prohibitive for individuals with limited income or financial constraints. Lack of financial resources can prevent individuals from accessing exercise opportunities and hinder their ability to engage in physical activity regularly.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which principle of training relates to the adaptations that are specific to the type of training being performed?

    • Specificity

    • Adaptability

    • Overload

    • Individuality

    Correct Answer
    A. Specificity
    Explanation
    Specificity is the principle of training that relates to the adaptations that are specific to the type of training being performed. This principle states that the body will adapt specifically to the type of stress or training it is exposed to. For example, if someone wants to improve their running endurance, they need to specifically train by running rather than focusing on other types of exercises like weightlifting. This principle emphasizes the importance of tailoring training programs to match the specific goals and demands of the activity or sport.

    Which of the heart rate training zones is for the unfit or sedentary individual?

    • Fitness zone

    • Performance anaerobic zone

    • Performance zone

    • Moderate aerobic zone

    Correct Answer
    A. Moderate aerobic zone
    Explanation
    The moderate aerobic zone is the heart rate training zone for unfit or sedentary individuals. This zone is characterized by a moderate level of intensity that allows for a comfortable workout without pushing the body too hard. It is ideal for beginners or those who have been inactive for a long time as it helps improve cardiovascular fitness and build a base level of endurance. Working out in this zone can gradually increase fitness levels and prepare individuals for more intense workouts in the future.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    According to the ACSM, what are the moderate intensity guidelines to achieve and maintain cardiovascular health?

    • 30 mins x 5 days

    • 25 mins x 5 days

    • 20 mins x 3 days

    • 45 mins x 3 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 mins x 5 days
    Explanation
    The ACSM recommends engaging in moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise for 30 minutes a day, five days a week to achieve and maintain cardiovascular health. This level of activity is considered effective in improving cardiovascular fitness and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. It is important to note that this guideline may vary depending on individual factors such as age, fitness level, and health conditions.

    Which component of the ‘FITT principle’ is more likely to be modified when working with an unskilled client?

    • Intensity

    • Frequency

    • Type

    • Time

    Correct Answer
    A. Intensity
    Explanation
    When working with an unskilled client, the intensity component of the FITT principle is more likely to be modified. This is because unskilled clients may have lower fitness levels or limited abilities, so it is important to adjust the intensity of their workouts to ensure they can safely and effectively perform the exercises. By modifying the intensity, the trainer can make the workout challenging yet manageable for the client, gradually increasing it as their fitness level improves.

    What effect will lengthening the levers have on a resistance training exercise?

    • Make the agonist work harder

    • Make the antagonist work harder

    • Make the agonist work less hard

    • Make the antagonist work less hard

    Correct Answer
    A. Make the agonist work harder
    Explanation
    Lengthening the levers in a resistance training exercise will increase the distance between the applied force and the resistance. This will result in an increased torque or rotational force required to overcome the resistance. As a result, the agonist muscles, which are responsible for generating the force to move the resistance, will have to work harder to produce the required torque. Therefore, lengthening the levers will make the agonist work harder.

    Which of the following heart rate training zones is often referred to as the 'fat-burning' zone?

    • Moderate aerobic zone

    • Performance zone

    • Fitness zone

    • Performance anaerobic zone?

    Correct Answer
    A. Fitness zone
    Explanation
    The fitness zone is often referred to as the 'fat-burning' zone because it is the heart rate range where the body primarily uses fat as a source of fuel. This zone typically falls between 60-70% of the maximum heart rate. Working out in this zone is believed to be effective for burning calories and promoting weight loss.

    What effect will shortening the levers have on a resistance training exercise?

    • Make the agonist work less hard

    • Make the antagonist work less hard

    • Make the agonist work harder

    • Make the antagonist work harder

    Correct Answer
    A. Make the agonist work less hard
    Explanation
    Shortening the levers in a resistance training exercise will result in the agonist muscle working less hard. This is because shortening the levers reduces the distance over which the force needs to be applied, making it easier for the agonist muscle to generate the required force. As a result, the workload on the agonist muscle is decreased, making it work less hard during the exercise.

    • 150 minutes

    • 120 minutes

    • 100 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 180 minutes
    Explanation
    According to the Chief Medical Officer's 'Start Active, Stay Active' report, a child under five should engage in 180 minutes of physical activity each day. This recommendation emphasizes the importance of regular physical activity for young children to support their healthy growth and development. It is crucial for children to engage in active play, such as running, jumping, and playing outdoors, to enhance their motor skills, cognitive abilities, and overall well-being.
