CPT failed test questions Flashcards
Sliding Filament Theory
Describes how myosin and Actin filament slide past one another to produce a muscle contraction
Sarcomere
The structural unit of a myofibril, composed of Actin and myosin filaments between 2 Z lines. It is a specific physical site or muscle contraction occurs.
Neuromuscular junction
The specialized site where the nervous system communicates directly with muscle fibers
what does FITTE-VP principle stand for?
Frequency, intensity, time, type, enjoyment, volume, and progression
lower Cross syndrome potential overactive muscles
Hip flexors, lumbar extensors (low back muscles)
lower Cross syndrome potential under active muscles
Gluteus maximus and medius, hamstring complex, abdominal
upper Cross syndrome potential overactive muscles
Pectoralis, major and minor, levator scapula and sternocleidomastoid (neck) and upper trapezius
Upper cross syndrome potential under active muscles
Middle and lower trapezius, rhomboids, deep cervical flexors
Arteriosclerosis (R-terio-sklo-roe-sis)
the hardening and loss of elasticity of arteries
Atherosclerosis (a·thr·ow·sklr·ow·suhs)
The process by which plaque is formed in the arteries leading to reduce blood flow
Transverse Abdominis main job
Stabilize the trunk, maintain internal abdominal pressure, and support organs inside the trunk
What are the parts of the spine from top to bottom?
Cervical (lordosis), thoracic (kyphosis), Lumbar (lordosis), Sacral (kyphosis), Coccyx
What is autogenic inhibition?
A protective mechanism that reduces a contracting or stretched muscles excitability, preventing it from exerting more force than its bones and tendons can handle. (often seen during static stretching.) think Gogli tendon or inverse “stretch reflex”
Two medical precautions for self myofascial techniques
Joint hypermobility and scoliosis
a client with osteoporosis has been cleared to perform exercise which form of training can have the most impact on increasing clients bone mineral density?
Walking
current sports nutrition guidelines from the international Society of sports nutrition recommend what range of protein for most exercising individuals?
1.4 to 2.0 g/kilograms of bodyweight
Which muscles are typically overactive in association with upper Cross syndrome?
Upper trapezius (+ Leavtor Scapula + pecs major and minor)
Which statement regarding Tabata training is considered accurate?
The total duration of the workout is four minutes long and performed at 170% of VO2 max
what is the RDA for protein?
.8 g/kilogram of bodyweight
which term best describes the ability to contract muscles of the core with force in an effort to flex the trunk during a slow controlled movement?
Core strength
the body can adapt to new demands while becoming stronger and more resilient through which exercise programming approach?
Progressive overload
what is the SAID principle and what does it stand for?
specific adaptation to imposed demands
The human body adapts to specific demands place upon it so if you trained for a particular sport or skill, your body will adapt and get better at that specific skill
what is the Iliopsoas?
A deep muscle group that connects the spine to the lower limbs and is a major hip flexor
what is the rectus abdominis?
Makes up the top layers of your abdominal muscles commonly known as your six pack. it is used for hip flexion at 45° and greater to induce hip flexion accompanied by posterior tilting of the pelvis
