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

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
