What factors partially contributed to the development of comprehensive guidelines for preparticipation physical evaluations (PPE)?

The growth in number of participants in sports

Locker rooms and shower facilities should Not be designed with?

Therapeutic Modalities

What is considered a musculoskeletal risk factor for the lower extremities?

Tight hamstrings

Describe the overall purpose of the emergency action plan?

To ensure the best care is provided in a timely manner during an emergency

Aerobic fitness can assist in avoiding injuries related to fatigue.

True

All intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors cannot be eliminated completely.

True

An office-based PPE (with the personal physician) is generally considered to be the ideal approach for a PPE when considering family history and rapport with the athlete.

True

Athletes in high-risk sports must be educated about inherent hazards and intrinsic risks.

True

For NCAA athletics, only an updated medical history is required for returning athletes unless an additional medical examination is warranted based on the updated history or a new medical condition.

True

Muscle power can be defined as the time rate of performing work.

True

Periodization of training involves the process of arranging training around specific goals and objectives with predetermined amounts of time spent training and resting.

True

Teaching proper blocking and tackling techniques may reduce the incidence of head and neck injury in football.

True

The body responds to a conditioning program more effectively when it receives proper nourishment.

True

The smallest component of the periodization model is a microcycle, which normally has a duration of 2-4 weeks.

True

The best time to use static stretching is:

at the end of a workout because of increased blood flow.

Humidity is not a consideration when assessing practice environment.

false

Physicians have the legal right to restrict an athlete from participating based on their opinion.

false

Research indicates that ballistic forms of stretching may be the most effective when compared to other forms.

false

A conditioning program consists of:

general and sport-specific conditioning.
