I left the exam about an hour ago, and I wanted to write this up before I forget all of it! The tips given in the previous posts pretty much cover it. However, here is what I remember:
-Know risk stratification values (what should cholesterol number be below?). Also know which are external factors.
-Understand difference between eccentric and concentric exercises
-Understand the basic principles of strength training: periodization, overload, progression, variability, reversibility
-Also understand the phases of a typical strength training program (hypertrophy, strength/endurance, peaking, recovery)
-Risk categories and when medical clearance is needed
-Nutrition: these questions were pretty common sense (i.e. there are 10 servings, with 120 calories per serving. Person has 4 servings, how many calories).
-Fat soluble vitamins: A, D, E, K
-Plane joint is which: wrist, antioccipital, hip, or sacroilliac?

-Asks a few questions regarding pregnant women exercising
-Arthritis
