Circumferences can also be used to estimate body-fat percentage.

A client will be recommended one of the five food profiles. A proper food profile for an individual

Is the amount of calories recommended to reach the goal

Can improve the client's energy levels and increase satiety
Both b and c
None of the above

Which of the following best explains the Exercise/Weight Loss Paradox?

Getting in better shape and losing weight can lend themselves to hitting a plateau
Exercising and weight loss are synonymous
Exercise and weight loss will both assist with the ability to burn more calories in the long term
There is no such thing as an Exersice/Weight Loss Paradox

Why are low-carbohydrate diets (less than 40%) not effective for maintaining fat loss?

Low energy via low glycogen stores and reduces blood glucose
Eventual carbohydrate cravings occur
They are conductive to long term fat loss
both a and b

You consume lots of it
The proper stimulas is provided
Your energy needs have been met
Only if it is whey protein
both b and c

During an adaptation phase, what is the recommended range of protein intake for a recreational athlete?
.8g/kg
1.2-1.8g/kg
2.0-3.1g/kg
1.8g per pound of body weight

How should a client's cardio-respiratory intensity be monitored?

Using a formula (Karvonen) coupled with a perceived exertion assessment (Talk Test)
Using a formula (Karvonen) is always adequate
Intensity is not an issue
A client should perform cardio-respiratory activity at any intensity that feels comfortable

For the goal of LBM gain, an individual may not need to participate in cardio-respiratory activity

Cardio-respiratory activity can only be performed prior to resistance training?

Which of the following will have the most potentially positive impact for an individual with a fat loss goal?

30 minutes of Cardio at 60-65% of maximum heart rate
30 minutes of Cardio at 70-75% of maximum heart rate
30 minutes of Cardio at 80-85% of maximum heart rate
All have an equally positive affect

In order to lose fat, an individual should perform low intensity cardio-respiratory activity (<55% THR)

The Controlled Release Delivery System uses a (an)___________ process to release nutrients to favorable sites of absorption and provides protection from antagonistic nutrients.

Why is NOT offering a supplement recommendation to a client seen as irresponsible?

Certain compounds are necessary to overcome a training plateau
Many clients are going to supplement anyway and you have the unique opportunity to educate on proper use
It isn't irresponsible, the clients get great advise from members of the gymy

Apex Resist Carbs (Resist 1) contains HCA, which has been shown to:

Meal-replacement formulas or Fitness Fast Food (FFF) can:

Provide calories when food is inconvenient
Aid in recovery from exercise

The Controlled Release Delivery system:
Releases nutrients according to the target tissue? ability to use them

Is time released
Both a and b

Reduce hunger, reduce the incidence of desease, and increase satiety (satisfaction)
Increase or maintain health, Increase energy levels, Increase satiety (satisfaction)

Considering how exercise affects metabolism, which of these is not an example of how exercise can slow metabolism?
Loss of lean muscle tissue
Under training
Adaptation phase ends
Enhanced physical condition

A. Hyperplasia
B. Hypertrophy

Answer: Hypertrophy

vertebral bone density

I have the nsca practice exam volume 1 and there's a question regarding increasing vertebral bone mineral density of a client who is at risk of osteoporosis and which exercise is most effective to increase it. The NSCA practice exam answer is front squat. You ask a similiar question on your exam but the client already has osteoporosis and wants to increase vertebral bone density. The answer you give is back extensions. Which exercice is the correct answer?

Help with the body planes please!!

by James

Hello all I'm have a great deal of problem trying to wrap my brain around the idea of the sagittal frontal and transverse plane. I understand that sagittal is left and right and frontal is front and back and transverse is top and bottom. I wanted to figure how you put certain body movements into the correct plane, only to learn sagittal is forward and backward movements frontal was side to side movements and transverse was rotational. I'm a bit lost at the moment If any could give me a good insight on this i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
