ACTUAL EXAM 200 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS (100% VERIFIED ANSWERS) |AGRADE
What are static positions?
Static positions are the points at which the athlete is not moving, even briefly.
Static positions usually occur near the end ranges of motion – either in the starting,
receiving, or finishing positions.
Dynamic faults
Dynamic positions find the athlete moving between the static positions, often at a
high speed.
What is the most useful view to assess one’s mechanic ?
Generally, a profile view of the athlete (offset by about 45 degrees),
The difficulty in seeing dynamic faults increases as ?
The athlete moves more quickly
the faults become subtler
Correcting hinges on the trainer’s ability to ?
Use successful cues.
Know multiple corrections for each fault.
Triage faulty movement.
Balance critique with praise.
Cues
Any cue that results in improved movement mechanics is successful and therefore,
a “good” cue.
A cue’s primary function is ?
To help the athlete execute perfect mechanics, not to perfectly describe the
mechanics of the movement.
Generally, making cues
Short, specific, and actionable tends to result in a greater success rate.
A basic three-step process for developing short, specific, and actionable cues is:
Identify the fault
Identify what is out of place (be specific: name the body part)
Give direction to that body part
Triaging faults
Determining which single fault to correct can be a challenge as multiple faults
often occur together. Ideally, every fault would be addressed simultaneously, but
this is unrealisticin practice
Assess the cue’s effectiveness and provide feedback
After a trainer delivers a cue, he or she must stay with that athlete for at least
another repetition to assess the result. Whatever the athlete’s response, the trainer
needs to provide feedback.
Adhere to the schedule
Adhering to posted times means both starting and ending on time: running over is
as unacceptable as starting late.
Space and equipment layout
The layout needs to account for buffer zones around any equipment in use and
should also take into account when athletes have to move to different areas of the
gym during the workout.
Plan how and what to teach
A trainer needs to plan how and what to teach to maximize the client’s time
moving. Allowing for enough practice time every class is necessary for both the
trainer and client.
Know your clients
An effective trainer recognizes that each person has different abilities,
personalities, insecurities, needs, and goals, and has the awareness and
interpersonal skills to respond accordingly.
Provide a visual aid
This may be to demonstrate the points of performance, show range-of-motion
standards, or explain movement corrections.
Demonstrate credibility
Leading by example has a large influence on the culture creation at the trainer’s
gym.
What are the 8 themes for common movement for functional movements
Midline stabilization
Core-to-extremity movement.
Balance about the frontal plane
Posterior-chain engagement
Sound hip function
Active shoulders
Full range of motion about a joint
Effective stance and/or grip.
MIDLINE
Is a plane of bilateral symmetry, but it is used in CrossFit to specifically referto the
relationship of the spine (base of the head to top of the hips) and pelvis during
functional movement
MIDLINE STABILIZATION
Is the athlete’s capacity to prevent movement from this neutral spinal position and
is synonymous with “core strength.”
Stabilization of the spine is largely accomplished by ?
The engagement of the abdominals (“abs”), internal and external oblique muscles
(“obliques”), and erector spinae (“spinal erectors” or simply “erectors”)
Deviations from neutral
May occur in flexion (bending forward from neutral) or extension (bending
backwards from neutral).
Hierarchy of spinal positioning is ?
