Where does gas exchange occur in the respiratory system? ¥ Bronchi ¥ Alveoli ¥ Larynx ¥ Pharynx
Alveoli Explanation: The alveoli is the functional unit of the lung. Oxygen enters the upper respiratory system via the nose, trachea, and bronchi. It travels into the lower bronchioles and eventually to the alveoli, where it is released into the blood stream and transported throughout the body via the circulatory system. While oxygen is taken into the body, carbon dioxide leaves the bloodstream in the alveoli of the lungs and is expelled into the atmosphere via the upper respiratory system.

biarticulate muscle ( articulate - meaning joints)
Bi-articular muscles are commonly found in the upper and lower extremities of the human body. These muscles generally cross two joints and influence movement at both. The rectus femoris (RF) spans the hip and knee, and the gastrocnemius (GA) crosses the knee and ankle.
Exchange of Gases, Nutrients, and Waste Between Blood and Tissue Occurs in theCapillaries. Capillaries are tiny vessels that branch out from arterioles to form networks around body cells. In the lungs, capillaries absorb oxygen from inhaled air into the bloodstream and release carbon dioxide for exhalation.
Blood vessels flow blood throughout the body. Arteries transport blood away from the heart. Veins return blood back toward the heart. Capillaries surround body cells and tissues to deliver and absorb oxygen, nutrients, and other substances. The capillaries also connect the branches of arteries and to the branches of veins.

Shoulder joint abduction----which muscles
Deltoid and supraspinatus
The muscles that abduct the shoulder joint are the: ¥ Medial deltoid and supraspinatus ¥ Levator scapula and upper trapezius ¥ Anterior deltoid and pectoralis major ¥ Serratus anterior and subscapularis
Correct response: Medial deltoid and supraspinatus Explanation: The supraspinatus primarily initiates the abduction. The medial deltoid continues the abduction in concert with via a force couple. , Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 57.
A 48-year-old female client has very tight gastrocnemius muscles. To facilitate permanent changes in the length of these muscles, in what position should the foot be placed and for what duration? (feel your gastrocnemius when you flex dorsiflex- It stretches) ¥ Plantar flexed position for 30 to 40 seconds ¥ Dorsiflexed position for 60 seconds ¥ Everted position for 2 to 3 minutes ¥ Inverted position for 30 to 40 seconds
Correct response: ¥ Dorsiflexed position for 60 seconds Explanation: The gastrocnemius is lengthened when placed in a position opposite of the muscle action. Since the gastrocnemius plantarflexes the ankle joint, a stretch would occur when placed in a dorsiflexed position. A 30 to 60 second stretch hold time is recommended for most adults. , Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 89.
Which of the following is an example of an enarthrodial joint? ¥ Carpal-metacarpal ¥ Radiounlar ¥ Glenohumeral ¥ Acromioclavicular
Correct response: ¥ Glenohumeral Explanation: An enarthodial joint is a multiaxial joint that permits movement in all directions. This includes the hip joint as well as the glenohumeral joint [shoulder joint]. ., Chapter 3, Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health, 2014, Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 51.
Movement toward the midline in the transverse plane describes which term? ¥ Horizontal abduction ¥ Adduction ¥ Horizontal adduction ¥ Abduction
Correct response: ¥ Horizontal adduction Explanation: Movement toward the midline of the body in the transverse plane is usually used to describe horizontal humerus movement when the shoulder is flexed at 90°. , Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 47.
Which of the following BEST describes the primary difference between standing and seated calf raises? ¥ Seated calf raises emphasize the gastrocnemius muscle, while the standing calf raise emphasizes the soleus muscle. ¥ Seated calf raises emphasize the soleus muscle, while the standing calf raise emphasizes the gastrocnemius muscle. ¥ The seated calf raise targets the muscle primarily responsible for power in the lower leg, while the standing calf raise targets the muscle primarily responsible for endurance. ¥ The seated calf raise targets the soleus, while the standing calf raise targets the gastrocnemius and invertors.
Correct response: ¥ Seated calf raises emphasize the soleus muscle, while the standing calf raise emphasizes the gastrocnemius muscle. Explanation: When you are doing standing calf raises you are effectively working the gastrocnemius. When you are seated, the bent angle of your knee takes the larger gastrocnemius out of the movement thereby putting the majority of the workload on the underlying soleus. The gastrocnemius muscle is a biarticulate muscle that acts to flex the knee and plantarflex the ankle. The soleus acts to planarflex the ankle only. When standing, both muscles plantarflex the ankle. When seated, only the soleus plantarflexes the ankle as the gastrocnemius is actively insufficient because it is in a flexed position at the knee joint. Chapter 3, Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health, 2014, Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 89.
Which of the following BEST fosters exercise adherence and progression toward the client's goal? ¥ Keeping clients focused on their primary long-term goals ¥ Setting a few attainable short-term goals ¥ Helping clients focus on never missing a session ¥ Setting several progressive goals on a weekly basis
Correct response: ¥ Setting a few attainable short-term goals Explanation: Goals should be structured in a SMART manner that consists of a goal being specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and time-oriented. Chapter 7, Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health, 2014, Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 217.

Approximately what percent of cardiac output is distributed to skeletal muscles during exercise? ¥ 55%-60% ¥ 15%-20% ¥ 85%-90% ¥ 35%-40% ¥ 85%-90%
Explanation: At rest, 15%-20% of cardiac output is distributed to the skeletal muscles; the remainder goes to the visceral organs. However, during exercise, as much as 85%-90% of cardiac ouput is selectively delivered to working muscles and shunted away from the skin and the internal organs. , Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 135.
Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). Which of the following concepts, if applied, makes resistance training easier to perform? ¥ F = ma ¥ Newton's third law ¥ Newton's first law ¥ P = mv
F = ma . FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION Explanation: NOTE : this is Newtons's SECOND LAW The law of acceleration is the 2nd law and states that force is proportional to the product of an object's mass multiplied by its acceleration.Chapter 4, Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health, 2014, Domain I: Initial Client Consultation and Assessment, p. 111.

Kyphosis
Humpback excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back.
What are the three main hip flexors?
Iliopsoas, Sartorius and Rectus Femoris
Difference between Isokinetic and isometric
In an isotonic exercise, the muscle maintains at the same tension while it shortens. In an isometric exercise, the muscle never shortens, and the tension never exceeds the opposing force. The muscle never changes length. In an isokinetic exercise, the muscle shortens at a constant rate throughout the motion.
note: ALL rotator cuff muscles attach to the humerus. The subscapularis attaches in the front or anterior of humerus. This allows for INTERNAL rotation. (The infraspinatus is for external rotation because it attaches to the back of the humerus.)
Infraspinatus

Newtons SECOND LAW IS?
Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." What, then, happens to a body when an external force is applied to it? That situation is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion. It states, "The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration." This is written in mathematical form as: F = ma F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration. The math behind this is quite simple. If you double the force, you double the acceleration, but if you double the mass, you cut the acceleration in half.
What is an isokinetic exercise? Isokinetic exercise is a type of strength training in which specialized machines, or dynamometers, maintain a constant speed of movement. It typically blends the intense contractions of isometric exercises with the range of motion achieved in isotonic exercises, and can provide a maximal strength workout.

Rotatio is a movement of long bones about their axis. Anular movments decreas or increase the joing alble produce by the articulating bones.
In a second-class lever, the weight (resistance) is located between the axis (fulcrum) and the force (figure 1.22a). The most obvious example is a wheelbarrow, where a weight is placed in the bed of the wheelbarrow between the wheel (axis) and the hands of the person using the wheelbarrow (force). In the human body, an example of a second-class lever is found in the lower leg when someone stands on tiptoes (figure 1.22b). The axis is formed by the metatarsophalangeal joints, the resistance is the weight of the body, and the force is applied to the calcaneus bone (heel) by the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles through the Achilles tendon.

Newtons law of acceleration. Newtons second law states that
the force F acting on a body in a given direction is equal to the bodies mass M multiplied by the body is acceleration a in that direction F equals M a. Newtons second law also relates to a moving bodies momentum in that a body is linear momentum is equal to its mass multiplied by its velocity M equals M VE.for a given velocity linear momentum will be increased if the mass of the body is increased angular momentum is governed by similar principles but the motion performed is about an access. If an individual is using a 10 pound dumbbell just slowly perform bicep curls there will be less momentum produced when the moving the same weight at a faster rate. If the lot velocity of the movement is held constant, but the person switches to a 15 pound dumbbell greater mass than momentum M equals MV will increase proportionately.
Law of inertia. Newtons first law of motion known as the law of inertia states that
the that a body at rest will stay at rest and that a body in motion will stay in motion with the same direction and velocity unless acted upon by an external force. A bodies inertial characteristics are proportional to its mass. Therefore it is more difficult to start moving a heavy object then a light one. Similarly, if two objects are moving at the same velocity, it requires more effort to stop or slow the heavier object then the lighter one. For fitness professionals resistance training programs probably have the greatest association with newtons first law. For example the sticking point at the beginning of the biceps curl occurs in part due to the difficulty overcoming the dumbbells inertial property of being at rest and in part due to the mechanical disadvantage of the human body to generate internal forces when the elbow is fully extended.
