  1. The FIFA 11+ warm-up program is designed to prevent injuries in which sport?

    Answer: Soccer (football)

    FIFA 11+ is a structured 20-minute warm-up program developed for amateur soccer players, shown to reduce injuries by up to 50%.

  2. Which landing mechanics are associated with increased ACL injury risk in female athletes?

    Answer: Knee valgus, reduced knee flexion, and upright trunk during landing

    Knee valgus collapse, minimal knee flexion, and upright trunk during landing increase ACL strain, and these patterns are more prevalent in female athletes.

  3. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) peaks at approximately:

    Answer: 24–72 hours post-exercise

    DOMS typically peaks 24–72 hours after unaccustomed eccentric exercise due to inflammatory response and micro-structural muscle damage.

  4. Which warm-up component has been shown to most effectively reduce hamstring strain risk?

    Answer: Progressive dynamic warm-up with neuromuscular activation

    Progressive dynamic warm-up programs that include neuromuscular activation (e.g., Nordic hamstring curls) have the strongest evidence for reducing hamstring strain incidence.

  5. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is used in sports rehab primarily to:

    Answer: Gain muscle hypertrophy and strength at low loads after injury

    BFR training restricts venous outflow during low-load exercise (20–30% 1RM), creating metabolic stress that drives muscle hypertrophy without high mechanical loading.

  6. The single-leg squat is used in sports PT as a functional assessment to observe:

    Answer: Hip abductor control, knee alignment, and trunk stability during dynamic tasks

    Single-leg squat assessment reveals hip abductor weakness (contralateral pelvic drop), knee valgus, and trunk lateral sway, all linked to injury risk.
