ISSA Final Exam Page 1, Questions with accurate answers, graded A+ What is the recommended amount of fat per meal for a male client? - ✔✔-2 thumbs What muscle is the prime mover in the bench p ... ress? - ✔✔-Pectoralis major (sternal pectoralis major) is the largest between the that and clavicular (upper chest) pectoralis. How is strength usually measured? - ✔✔-1RM test since strength is defined as the: 1. ability to contract muscles with maximum force. 2. Being able to exert musculoskeletal force against external object (weights, ground, opponents). What is an environmental stressor a client may experience? - ✔✔-Allergies Especially for clients with asthma because their airways narrow and swell, and then fill up with mucus causing breathing difficulties. What type of muscle fiber is best for competing in a triathlon? - ✔✔-Type 1 (slow-twitch) These fibers are fatigue resistant and focus on long-distance events where the body utilizes the oxidative pathway. Hold more mitochondria and myoglobin "Keep shoulder blades down and together throughout the entire movement" is an appropriate cue to give clients during what movement? - ✔✔-Dumbbell incline bench press What are the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables per day? - ✔✔-5 - 10 servings per day. We need lots of vegetables because they are nutrient dense (has lots of nutrients) and are essential to improved health. What is the appropriate protein portion for men? - ✔✔-2 palms. If you are looking to add some lean mass, add an extra thumb of fat or another cupped handful of carbs for a few meals. Which type of contraction allows the muscles to "activate" but have no movement or change in muscle length? - ✔✔-Isometric contraction. Exercises include: wall-sit, plank, A client thinks they injured their shoulder, what should the trainer do? - ✔✔-Refer them to a doctor. Personal trainers/fitness peeps are not qualified to diagnose injuries. All activities begin in which energy pathway? - ✔✔-ATP/CP pathway. Doesn't matter how long or how intense the activity is, every activity starts here. Myosin ATPase cuts off a phosphate molecule from ATP and uses it for releasing energy. What is the most superficial (closest to the surface) muscle of the abdominals. - ✔✔-External obliques Utilizing the FITT principle, how many times a week should a beginner client workout for? - ✔✔-3 times a week. This principle works best for beginners because it will show them how to get started. What is responsible for sensing excessive stretch to protect the muscle? - ✔✔-Muscle spindle. Cycling your training to help account for shock, compensation, and exhaustion is an important part of periodization and refers to which principle? - ✔✔-The GAS principle. 1. "Alarm stage" applying intense training stress. 2. "Resistance stage" muscles evolve and adapt to handling heavier loads and resist stressful weights more easily and effectively. 3. "Exhaustion stage" continually adding stress will exhaust our reserves and will cease to function at peak performance. To prevent the third stage from even happening, you need weeks of going "light"; decreasing the weight and intensity to give your body time to rest and recover. The need for different phases of training helps to prevent what? - ✔✔-Overtraining Mix things up a bit. Don't get stuck with using the same program/workouts over and over again, which will lead to orthopedic stress. Incorporate different modes of training and experiment. A good example is cross-training, which involves performing different activities and sports to achieve a well-rounded and healthy body. Individuals with hypertension should moderate their intake of what? - ✔✔-Salt It has been shown to increase blood pressure in sodium-sensitive individuals. Half of hypertensive individuals are sodium-sensitive. A client performs 8 reps of the seated leg press at 320 lbs. What is their estimated 1RM? - ✔✔-400 lbs Take the weight that he lifted (320 lbs) and divide that by 80% (0.80 is the percent of max) and that = 400 lbs. What would be a symptom of overtraining? - ✔✔-Decrease in performance There are two types of overtraining: 1. Sympathetic: mostly seen in anaerobic clients, this type of overtraining affects the sympathetic nervous system (speeds up bodily functions; increasing energy needs) and results in increased resting heart rate, increased blood pressure, loss of appetite - which leads to weight loss and decreased body mass, sleeping problems, emotional instability, and an elevated basal metabolic rate. 2. Parasympathetic: mostly seen in aerobic clients, the opposite occurs. Since this system slows down bodily functions and conserves energy, overtraining will result in early onset of fatigue, increased resting heart rate, heart rate recovery after exercise slows down, and an increase in resting blood pressure. What is primarily responsible for strength gains in beginner clients? - ✔✔-Neural adaptations Beginners will see a spike in strength and then hypertrophy comes after. Once they have more strength, then they'll be able to lift heavier weights for more reps (6 - 12) = hypertrophy. What plane of motion does squatting take place in? - ✔✔-Sagittal plane Any exercise where your body moves back to front or vice versa. In a client's training cycle, one day or training session is known as what? - ✔✔-Microcycle A microcycle can last a few days to a week, where mesocycle lasts months, and a macrocycle lasts at least a year. How often should information be collected when training with a client? - ✔✔-Once a month From the start of day one, you will need to collect accurate, up-to-date information regarding your client's health status and training progress. What is a portion control strategy for women regarding carbs? - ✔✔-1 cupped handful It is an easy way to measure an appropriate amount of carbs if you feel like you're eating too much. When creating rigidity in the torso, what involves expiring against a closed glottis combined with contracting muscles of the abdomen and rib cage? - ✔✔-Valsalva maneuver This method causes intrathoracic pressure which leads to the veins becoming compressed, significantly reducing venous blood flow into the heart and into the brain. Used for short bouts of maximal effort. What would determine how many meals a day a client should eat? - ✔✔-Client preference. You should never force your client on what to eat and when to eat. Whenever they are feeling hungry, that is the best time for them. What is the angle of muscle pull? - ✔✔-The angle at which the muscle pulls relative to the axis of the bone that it pulls on. Protein is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and what else? - ✔✔-Nitrogen The only macronutrient to contain nitrogen Which of the following intake forms is necessary to ensure that that there are no prior medical concerns for the client? - ✔✔-PAR-Q. Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire Marathon training primarily recruits what kind of fibers? - ✔✔-Slow-twitch (type 1) muscle fibers. These fibers have a slow contraction speed, utilize aerobic glycolysis, and is fatigue and injury resistant, making them perfect for long distance events/activities. Their name indicates that they are the fibers to be recruited first. When the scapular abductors are weak, what postural deviation can occur? - ✔✔-Kyphosis What muscle fiber is highly resistant to fatigue and injury? - ✔✔-Type 1 (slow-twitch) muscle fibers Which of the following represents safe load increases for a beginner client? - ✔✔-5% - 10% Advanced: 2% - 5% Beginners have much more room for improvement; gaining size and strength. Experienced and intermediate trainees usually are at or beyond the national averages for strength capabilities. What bone runs parallel to the fibula? - ✔✔-Tibia What does HIIT stand for? - ✔✔-High intensity interval training A weight loss client is currently exercising 5 + hours a week and hits a plateau. What adjustments should a trainer suggest? - ✔✔-Decrease k/cal intake by 250 Remove a cupped handful of carbs and a thumb of fats from their daily intake. If any more problems arise, try increasing the exercise to 7 + days a week and decreasing another 250 cal. Which macronutrient contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen? - ✔✔-Carbohydrates Sugars, starches and fibers are all considered carbs because of their similar structures. A lateral leg raise demonstrates which kind of movement? - ✔✔-Abduction Abduction is to move away from the midline of the body while adduction is moving towards the midline. During training, clients with hypertension should avoid what? - ✔✔-Squat jumps High intensity aerobic exercise has no beneficial results on high blood pressure. The focus should be on non-weight- bearing and low-impact aerobic exercise because most individuals with hypertension are elderly and obese and tend to have lower-extremity orthopedic problems. Who should recommend a GXT (graded exercise test) for a client prior to starting an exercise program? - ✔✔-Physician This test is meant for older individuals who are 40 years or older and with an abnormal physical examination (murmur) or two or more coronary risk factors. If you are 40 years or younger and you undergo a normal physical examination, has no symptoms of cardiovascular disease, no coronary risk factors, and no physical findings (hypertension, murmur) then you should be good to go. Utilizing the Valsalva maneuver gives up to how much greater force? - ✔✔-20% A client with celiac disease asks for a nutrition plan, what should the trainer recommend? - ✔✔-Give a breakdown of macronutrients Develop a meal plan that contains no gluten Avoid gluten if you have celiac disease. When someone with this disease ingests gluten, the lining of the small intestine is attacked by the body's natural defense system as it tries to react to the gluten. With an unhealthy intestinal lining, the body will be unable to absorb the necessary nutrients. Delayed growth and nutrient deficiencies start to occur. This includes anemia (one of the most common forms of iron deficiency; the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is reduced) and osteoporosis (bones become fragile and break easily). Diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease and intestinal cramps also develop. What is the smallest phase or cycle of training? - ✔✔-Microcycle How long does the guided discovery stage of the drawing-in phase last? - ✔✔-2 - 3 weeks Or just a few workouts. The client needs to become acclimated with the equipment and some exercises. What does BMI stand for? - ✔✔-Body Mass Index The gluteus maximus is located superior to which muscle? - ✔✔-Gastrocnemius What type of contraction is involved in controlling and stopping a movement? - ✔✔-Isometric contraction The muscle does not move nor does it lengthen. An example is being at the bottom of the push up position and holding yourself there for a certain amount of time. What movement requires constant agonist-antagonist muscle contractions? - ✔✔-Dynamic balance An example of this would be to balance your self on one leg when trying to perform the pistol squat. The ATP/CP pathway is best for what activity? - ✔✔-100m sprint Any activity that is short duration and requires max effort. Sustained power movements that last 0 - 10 sec. What is the daily water consumption recommendation? - ✔✔-3 liters Bone contains 22% water, adipose tissue 25%, muscle cells 75%, and blood contains nearly 83%. Which resistance training system helps to increase intensity and optimize time? - ✔✔-Supersets You do 2 - 3 exercises at a time with no rest between them. This style of training will save time and keep the workout intense. What does the FITT acronym stand for? - ✔✔-Frequency: how o [Show More]
