Sample Questions
4.	Jenny	agrees	to	do	some	resistance	training	at	home,	but	she’s	not	confident	she	will	spend	more	than	a	few	
minutes	on	it.	Which	of	the	following	would	you	suggest	she	prioritize?
Ball squat
2.	Jenny	mentions	that	she	just	had	a	physical	and	there	were	no	signs	of	any	chronic	conditions.	You	only	have	
time	for	one	test.	Which	of	the	following	would	you	conduct?
Estimate	1RM	leg	press	test	because	she	noticed	changes	in	her	speed	in	leg	dominant	activities
9. An	individual,	must	be	medically	cleared	prior	to	participating	in	a	fitness	evaluation	and/or exercise	program	
if	the:
B client,	of	any	age,	has	chest	pain	during	physical	activity	or	when	they	are	not	physically	active.
6. Asthma	is	the	most	common	chronic	condition	of	childhood.		As	a	CSEP-CEP	working	with	young	hockey	
players,	you	are	informed	that	one	of	your	players	has	exercise-induced	bronchospasm	(EIB).		You	suggest?
A Recommend	beta-2	agonists	as	a	rescue	medication	15-30	minutes	before	the	youth	exercises.
B Suggest	non-pharmacological	interventions	such	as	a	longer	duration	warm-up	or	use	of	a	mask	to	warm	air	
on	inhalation	and	monitor	response.
5. Which	of	the	following	is	an	acceptable	spirometry	maneuver?
A The	two	largest	measures	are	within	0.15	L	of	one	another.
Sujet principal
5.	Jenny	comes	back	a	year	later	and	says	that	her	doctor	told	her	she	has	osteopenia.	She	is	continuing	with	
her	cycling	but	you	tell	her	she:
A Needs	to	start	doing	more	resistance	training	to	ensure	she	maintains	her	bone	mass
B Needs	to	cut	down	on	cycling	and	do	more	walking	to	ensure	she	increases	her	bone	mass
3.		In	terms	of	prescription,	Jenny	agrees	to	go	to	the	gym	for	15	mins,	3	times	per	week.	Which	exercise	is	
essential	to	include	for	her	to	improve?
A	Resistance	training	for	the	lower	body
Jenny	is	a	73	year	old	woman	who	has	been	active	her	whole	life.	She	has	been	cycling	30-40	kilometers	3-4	
times	per	week	and	walks	with	a	pole	walking	group	two	days	per	week.	In	the	winter	she	skies	(downhill)	and	
takes	indoor	cycling	classes.	This	summer	she	has	noticed	that	she	can’t	keep	up	with	her	peers	on	rides.	She	
can	go	the	distance	but	her	speed	has	significantly	decreased.	
1.		Which	of	the	following	conditions	may	be	responsible	for	this	change?
Sarcopenia
8. Athletes	are	told	to	practice	the	3	R’s	when	recovering	from	exercise	in	training	or	competition.		What	do	the	
3	R’s	refer	to?
A Rehydrate,	Refuel,	Repair
All	of	the	following	points	are	important	to	consider	when	working	with	a	visually	impaired	person E
Keep	areas	
B Give	verbal	
C Keep	light	levels	low
. If	Samantha	and	Kelly	lift	the	same	amount	of	weight	for	a	dead	lift	exercise,	but	it	took	Samantha	2	seconds	
longer	to	complete	the	lift,	then	Samantha:
LESS POWER OUTPUT
Another common dynamic 
muscular performance variable is muscular power. Peak 
musculoskeletal power output for various movements 
can be measured by combining dynamometer (FORCE) and kine-
matic measurements (DISTANCE°TIME) and has been used to establish a 
range of training loads that maximize power output 
(10,14). These studies of muscular strength and power 
measurements are consistent with the fitness research 
showing three major expressions (static, dynamic, and 
explosive) of muscular performance (35).

individual	because	of: more glycogen
