You have been working with Judy for 1 month now. Her initial goals were to gain strength in her lower body and you have been working on body weight squats and lunges. She can perform 3 sets of 15 squats without a struggle. What is the best course of action to continue to increase her lower body strength significantly?

Add resistance to her squats and lunges. Adding resistance is the next step in strength increase and will produce results in strength sooner than adding reps.

Which of the following environmental testing conditions can most confound results of a physiologic assessment? a. An ambient air temperature of 96 degrees Fahrenheit b. An ambient air temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit c. Time of day being 10 am d. Time of day being 7 pm

An ambient air temp of 96 degrees F. Given physiologic assessments consist of measuring vital signs, environmental factors that influence the body's hemodynamics should be taken into account. Time of day would not inherently affect this, however temperature may. If ambient temperature is much higher than core body temperature (96 degrees Fahrenheit) then heart rate among other measures will be affected.

Which of the following movements should be performed first on an upper body day in a resistance training program? a. Barbell biceps curl b. Barbell lying triceps extension c. Barbell bench press d. Barbell back squat

Barbell bench press When sequencing movements in a resistance training program, compound multi joint movements should be performed before single joint movements.
