Practice Exam

1. Quadriceps are a primary mover (agonist) in a leg extension. What is the antagonist muscle?

2. Popular reasons why free weights are better than machines include:

3. Which muscle is the prime mover in spine/trunk flexion?

4. Which training principle describes the practice of systematically increasing your repetitions to get stronger?

5. Free weights can help in developing the smaller synergistic muscles.

6. What is a supinated grip?

7. How much rest time is recommended for power exercises?

8. Training specificity explains what type of training?

9. If the hip adductor is the prime mover in an exercise, what is the antagonist?

10. Which training principle describes the practice of gradually adding more resistance so there is enough stimulus to grow?
