Terms in this set (51)

Which muscles are typically underactive in association with pes planus distortion syndrome?
Anterior and posterior tibialis, and gluteus maximus and medius
Where is the appropriate location to take a waist circumference measurement?
At the narrowest point of the waist, below the rib cage and just above the top of the hip bones (while standing)
Which muscle would be considered underactive, leading to the low back arching during the overhead squat assessment?
Gluteus maximus
Which muscles are typically underactive in association with upper crossed syndrome?
Lower trapezius
...
...
Which muscles are typically overactive in association with lower crossed syndrome?
The hip flexors and lumbar extensors (low-back muscles) are typically overactive in association with lower crossed syndrome.
What principle is hydrostatic underwater weighing based upon?
Archimedes' principle; Archimedes' principle is a physical law of buoyancy. It is the assumption that the volume of fluid displaced is equivalent to the volume of an object fully immersed in that fluid or to the specific fraction of the volume below the surface.
How is lower crossed syndrome characterized?
Anterior pelvic tilt and excessive lordosis of the lumbar spine
Which muscles may be overactive with knee valgus during the single-leg squat?
Adductor complex
Which muscles may be overactive with knee valgus during the overhead squat?
Tensor fascia latae and adductor complex
Which muscle would be considered underactive, leading to the excessive forward trunk lean during the overhead squat assessment?
Gluteus maximus
Which of the following statements describes the abdominal skinfold location?
A vertical skinfold taken 1 inch lateral to the umbilicus (belly button)
Which muscles are typically underactive with knee valgus during the overhead squat?
Gluteus maximus and medius
Which of the following is a recommendation when assessing skinfold measurements?
Take a minimum of two measurements at each site; each measurement must be within 1 to 2 mm to take an average at each site.
Which of the following waist-to-hip ratios (WHRs) places Amy (a female) in the high-risk category for cardiovascular disease?
WHR of 0.88; A WHR of 0.88 would place Amy in the high-risk category, as 0.86 or higher for women is considered high risk.
Which of the following tests is designed to test reaction capabilities, acceleration, and maximal sprinting speed?
40-yard dash
What does BMI (body mass index) assess for?
Whether a person's weight is appropriate for their height
Which of the following is not a component that needs to be considered when planning a VT1 test?
Environmental temperature
What best defines a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q+)?
A detailed questionnaire designed to assess an individual's physical readiness to engage in structured exercise
How can diastolic blood pressure be defined?
The pressure in arteries and other blood vessels when the heart is at rest or between beats; the second (bottom) number recorded
Which muscle or muscles would be considered overactive, leading to shoulder elevation during the pulling assessment?
Upper trapezius and levator scapula
Which muscles are typically overactive in association with upper crossed syndrome?
Upper trapezius
From the list of assessments provided, which should be conducted first to preserve its validity?
Body composition; Fitness assessments that do not require physical exertion, such as the measurement of resting heart rate, blood pressure, or body composition, should always be conducted prior to more vigorous fitness assessments that measure aerobic fitness, strength, or power output.
Which type of assessment assesses the alignment of the body while in motion?
Dynamic posture assessment
Which muscle would be considered overactive, leading to the excessive forward trunk lean during the overhead squat assessment?
Hip flexors; The hip flexors would be considered overactive in association with low-back arching and forward trunk lean.
Which muscle would be considered overactive, leading to arms falling forward during the overhead squat assessment?
Latissimus dorsi
Which muscle would be considered overactive, leading to shoulder elevation during the pushing assessment?
Upper trapezius
Into which category would a resting blood pressure score of 128/86 mm Hg fall?
Elevated; A resting blood pressure score of 128/86 mm Hg would fall within the elevated classification. Elevated blood pressure is considered a systolic blood pressure of 120 to 129 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure <80 mm Hg.
What are the five kinetic chain checkpoints?
Feet and ankles, knees, LPHC, shoulders, and head and neck
Which muscle would be considered underactive, leading to arms falling forward in the overhead squat assessment?
The middle and lower trapezius would be considered underactive in association with the arms falling forward.
What is Bernadette's waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) if she is measured with a waist circumference of 28 inches and a hip circumference of 33 inches?
The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is calculated by taking the waist measurement and dividing that number by the hip measurement. In this instance, you would take 28 inches and divide it by 33 to get 0.85.
The standard Jackson and Pollock 3-Site protocol for women requires skinfold measurements at which of the following sites?
Suprailiac, thigh, and triceps
What depth is suggested for the overhead squat assessment?
Femur parallel to ground
Which of the following tests is used to measure lateral acceleration, deceleration, agility, and control?
Pro shuttle
For which movement impairment would you see the knees bow outward?
Knee varus
What artery is used to measure blood pressure?
Brachial artery
Which test would you select as the most appropriate when attempting to measure the overall fitness level of a fit college-aged athlete who competes on the school's rugby team?
The 1.5-mile (2.4-km) run test; This assessment is appropriate for population groups that are more fit. It measures a client's aerobic endurance.
What interventions are suggested for an individual with a resting blood pressure of 134/86 mm Hg?
Some lifestyle changes coupled with some medical monitoring
Which of the following statements defines the chest skinfold location for men?
A diagonal fold taken half the distance between the anterior axillary line and the nipple
What is the definition of anthropometry?
The field of study of the measurement of living humans for purposes of understanding human physical variation in size, weight, and proportion; Many different anthropometric measures exist, including body fat assessments, body mass index (BMI), and circumference measurements.
Which of the following exercises is typically used to measure muscular endurance of the upper extremities during a pushing movement?
Push-up test
What is the most valid measurement of aerobic fitness?
VO2max; Oxygen consumption (V̇O2) is a measure of the body's usage rate of oxygen; it's the difference between inspired and expired oxygen.
Which postural distortion is characterized by flat feet, knee valgus, and adducted and internally rotated hips?
Pes planus distortion syndrome
How is heart rate collected during the YMCA 3-minute step test to evaluate the cardiorespiratory fitness level of an individual?
It is measured over a 60-second count immediately following the test.
