An ankle sprain is a common injury that involves the starching or tearing of one or more tendons

False

An individual will develop adequate muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility through participation in sport activities

False

During both walking and running there is a point where neither foot is touching the ground

False

Hip flexion is movement of the femur straight posteriorly toward the pelvis

False

Immediately prior to and during normal toe-off the foot should be in pronation and the leg should be in external rotation.

False

It is not necessary to analyze each individuals exercise and skills technique in order to specifically design an exercise program, to meet his/her needs.

False

Most of the movement that occurs in the spinal column occurs in the cervical and thoracic regions of the spine.

False

Muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility are general body characteristics that are not specific to each body area and muscle group

False

Sit-ups are an excellent exercise for strengthening the erector spinae muscles

False

Some athletes may begin follow-through too late, which can cut short the movement phase.

False

The "Vasalva Maneuer" is when one holds his/her breath while attempting to lift heavy weights or trying to exhale against an open epiglottis.

False

The chin-up exercise is an excellent exercise for triceps brachii.

False

The cuboid bone is located medially with respect to the navicular bone

False

The dead lift is a closed kinetic chain excercise

False

The hamstring muscles function as a decelerator of the knee when decreasing speed to change direction and especially when landing from a jump.

False

The patella is classified as an " irregular: bone because it is imbedded in the patellar tendon.

False

The posterior portion of the trunk contains the abdominal muscles

False

The push-up exercise is an excellent exercise for upper extremity development but does little for the rest of the body

False

The quadriceps muscles perform eccentric contractions during accelerating actions.

False

The semimembranosus inserts anteromedially on h medial tibial condyle

False

The tibial nerve innervates both the gracilis and biceps femoris muscles

False

The vertebral column has 32 pairs of spinal nerves

False

With the exception of the glenohumeral joint, he acetabular femoral joint is the least mobile joint of the body.

False

A sideward deviation of the spine is known as scoliosis

True

A substantial number of low back problems are caused by improper use of the back over time

True

All three of the vasti muscles of quadriceps originate on proximal femur and insert on patellar superior pole.

True

Compared to an untrained person, a well-trained person will see relatively minor improvements in the amount of weight that can be lifted over the same period of time.

True

Concentric muscles actions are the shortening contraction of muscles against gravity or a resistance.

True

Exact names of the movement phases may vary from skill to skill to fit the various sports terminology.

True

For the purpose of movement analysis, most sport skills involve 3-5 separate phases.

True

Functions of the abdominal muscles include assisting in spinal stabilization and respiration

True

Functions of the acetabular femoral joint include weight bearing and locomotion.

True

Generally, a high rate of acceleration during the movement phase of a sports skill will result in a greater length and importance of the follow-through phase.

True

Heel-strike normally occurs by landing on the heel with the foot in supination and the leg in external rotation.

True

Increased pressure on the spinal eves may result from herniated lumbar disc and result in radiating pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the lower extremity .

True

Many types of back pain and other physical ailments can be avoided through proper maintenance of the musculoskeletal system.

True

Overload may be modified by changing frequency, intensity, and/or duration

True

Pronation is a combination of ankle dorsiflexion, subtalar eversion, and forefoot abduction.

True

Proper weight lighting technique involves exhaling during lifting and inhaling during lowering

True

Tears in menisci can occur due to both compression and shear forces during rotation while flexing or extending during quick directional changes in running,

True

The abdominal curl-up strengthens the hip flexors.

True

The ankle and foot joints are composed of 26 bones in each foo

True

The femoral nerve innervates essentially all of the hip flexor muscles

True

The gastrocnemius is innervated by the tibial nerve (S1, S2).

True

The knee joint is the largest joint in the body

True

The medial collateral ligament originates on the medial aspect of upper medial femoral condyle and inserts on medial tibial surface.

True

The most common type of ankle sprain results from excessive inversion tha causes damage to lateral structures.

True

The most palpable point of the femur at the hip s the greater trochanter

True

The only muscle involved in extending all of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the four lesser toes is the extensor digitorum longus.

True

The patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with the result being a great mechanical advantage for the quadriceps during knee extension.

True

The patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with the result being a greater mechanical advantage for the quadriceps during knee extension.

True

The right and left pelvis are joined together by the sacrum at the right and left sacroiliac

True

The specific needs to each individual should be specifically addressed when designing an exercise program.

True

The three-biaticular hamstring muscles are innervated by the tibial division of the sciatic nerve.

True

The tibia bears the majority of the weight as compared to the fibula

True

The tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps muscles.

True

The upper extremity is often one of he body's weakest areas

True

The vertebral column has 24 articulating vertebrae

True

Vertebrae increase in size from the cervical to the lumbar region because the lower back supports more weight

True

When using free weights for strength training it is important to ensure that one group of muscles is not overdeveloped and another is underdeleoped

True
