  1. Which muscle is the primary mover during a barbell squat?

  2. What energy system is predominantly used during a 100-meter sprint?

    Answer: ATP-PCr system

    The ATP-PCr (phosphocreatine) system dominates during short, maximal-intensity efforts lasting under 10 seconds.

  3. Which plane of motion divides the body into anterior and posterior halves?

    Answer: Frontal plane

    The frontal (coronal) plane divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections.

  4. What term describes the ability of a muscle to exert maximum force in a single contraction?

    Answer: Muscular strength

    Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force a muscle or muscle group can generate in a single maximal effort.

  5. Which type of muscle fiber has the highest oxidative capacity and is most fatigue resistant?

    Answer: Type I

    Type I (slow-twitch) fibers have the highest mitochondrial density and oxidative capacity, making them highly fatigue resistant.

  6. What is the agonist muscle during a bicep curl?

    Answer: Biceps brachii
