| Excessive forward leadn during overhead squat could mean this muscle is underactive | Anterior tibialis Gluteus maximus Erector spinae |
| What should the anteror view of static posture reflect? | Feet/ankle: Straight, not turned or flat Knees: In line with toes, not adducted LPHC: Neutral, level Shoulders: Not elevated or rounded Head: Neutral, not tilted or rotated |
| What are the major joint regions of the body to assess for kinetic checkpoint observations? | Feet, knees, hips, shoulders, head/neck |

| What is static posture? | How an individual presents himself in a stance or standing position |
| Why is proper form and posture so important? | Will help keep muscles at the proper length for amount of tension, which allows the muscles to work together and ensure proper joint motion. Maximize force production and reduce injury. (More strength, less imbalance and less dysfunction/injury) |
| Describe the Rockport Walk Test | Have client walk 1 mile as fast as can be controlled Record time to complete the mile Immediately record HR at the end of a mile Use formula to determine oxygen consumption and starting HR zone (poor/fair-zone1, average/good-zone2, very good-zone3) |
| Describe the YMCA 3 min step test | Client does step upd/down exercises for 3 min 96 steps per min, use up/up, down/down tempo Within 5 sec of completing, determine HR for 1 min Use chart to determine whether HR is very poor - excellent and determine starting zone for training |
| Why is it not always practical to measure V02 max or cardio capacity? | Time Willingness of client to perform at max capacity Equipment requirements |
| What is VO2 max? | Measurement for functional capacity of the heart and lungs. CPET- Cardio pulmonary exercise testing |
| How is BMI calculated? | Weight divided by height, times 703 |
| What is BMI? | Body Mass Index |

| What is the recommend % body fat for men and women? | 10-20% men 20-30% women |
| What are some benefits for determining body fat composition? | Identify health risks Promote client understanding and help them estimate healthy weight and fat % Motivation and monitoring Assess effectiveness of nutrition |
| What's the difference between essential and non essential fat? | Essential fat is crucial for body functioning Non essential is stored fat or adipose tissue |
| What is body fat percentage or body composition? | Relative percentage of body weight that is fat vs fat free tissue like muscle, bones, teeth, water |
| What is considered healthy blood pressure? | 120 over 80 |
| What is the bottom number of blood pressure recording? | Diastolic - pressure in aterties as heart is resting and filling with blood |
| What is the top number of blood pressure reading? | Systolic - pressure in arteries after the heart contracts |
| What is blood pressure? | Circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels after blood leaves the heart |
| What are 2 ways to determine target heart rate zones? | Straight percentage method (220-age x 65-95%) HRR (Karvonen method) Target HR=max HR minus resting HR times desired intensity plus resting HR |
| What is the purpose of training in zone 3 | Builds high end work capacity |
| What is the purpose of training in zone 2 | Increase aerobic and anaerobic endurance |
| What is the purpose of training in zone 1 | Builds aerobic base and aids recovery |
| What is a typical healthy resting heart rate? | Between 70 and 80 70 - male 80 - female |
| What are two most common places on the body to get Heart rate? | Carotoid artery - on neck, sidge of larnyx Radial pulse - Right side of arm, in line with thumb |
