ACE Trivia 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which law states that bones adapt to the loads placed upon them by becoming stronger or weaker accordingly?
- Davis's Law
- Wolff's Law (Correct answer)
- Henneman's Size Principle
- Sherrington's Law
Correct answer: Wolff's Law
Wolff's Law states that bone remodels in response to mechanical stress, becoming denser with loading and losing density with disuse.
Question 2: What is the primary fuel source used during high-intensity, short-duration exercise lasting fewer than 10 seconds?
- Muscle glycogen
- Blood glucose
- Phosphocreatine (PCr) (Correct answer)
- Free fatty acids
Correct answer: Phosphocreatine (PCr)
The phosphocreatine (ATP-PC) system provides immediate energy for maximal efforts lasting up to approximately 10 seconds.
Question 3: The term 'EPOC' refers to the elevated oxygen consumption following exercise. What does EPOC stand for?
- Extended Post-Oxidative Capacity
- Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (Correct answer)
- Elevated Pulmonary Output Capacity
- Exercise-Prompted Oxygen Compensation
Correct answer: Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption
EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) describes the increased oxygen uptake after exercise used to restore the body to its pre-exercise state.
Question 4: Which plane of motion divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) halves?
- Sagittal plane
- Transverse plane
- Frontal plane (Correct answer)
- Median plane
Correct answer: Frontal plane
The frontal (coronal) plane divides the body into anterior and posterior sections, with movements like lateral raises occurring in this plane.
Question 5: What does the 'R' in the RICE method for acute injury management stand for?
- Resistance
- Rest (Correct answer)
- Rehabilitation
- Rotation
Correct answer: Rest
RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation — a traditional first-aid protocol for acute musculoskeletal injuries.
Question 6: The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles share which common tendon?
- Patellar tendon
- Achilles tendon (Correct answer)
- Peroneal tendon
- Plantar fascia
Correct answer: Achilles tendon
Both the gastrocnemius and soleus insert into the calcaneus via the Achilles tendon, the largest and strongest tendon in the body.
Question 7: According to the ACE IFT Model, what does the second stage, 'Movement Training,' primarily focus on?
- Improving cardiorespiratory fitness above VT1
- Teaching foundational movement patterns and joint mobility (Correct answer)
- Maximizing sport-specific power output
- Managing chronic disease risk factors
Correct answer: Teaching foundational movement patterns and joint mobility
Movement Training in the ACE IFT Model centers on improving movement quality, stability, and mobility before loading patterns with resistance.
