How do you perform progressive resistive exercise?

Gradually increase load and volume over time

What best describes the overload principle?

For muscles to gain strength or endurance, they must be stressed beyond previous demands

What best describes the principle of specificity?

The body will adapt to the demand placed on it

Which factor of isolation exercise cannot be modified?

Can’t work a different muscle group

What characteristic is described by the body adapting to specific demands?

Specificity

Checking for life-threatening injuries is accomplished during

the primary assessment

True or false: Research has demonstrated that starting with chest compressions leads to better outcomes and a higher likelihood of survival after cardiac arrest

True

An AT or first aider has checked an athlete's responsiveness and determined that the athlete is unresponsive. The next step is to

Check for circulation

True or false: The CAB sequence prioritizes opening the airway and giving breaths

False

The proper ratio of compressions to breaths for one person doing CPR is

30:2

What is the priority in a life-threatening emergency situation?

Compressions, airway, breathing

True or false: The first step in the primary assessment is to check the scene for safety

True

True or false: We should initiate CAB before getting someone to call 911 and get an AED

False

True or false: When checking for responsiveness, if the athlete responds, this is an indicator that the ABCs are working.

True

True or false: Treating non-life-threatening injuries is part of the primary assessment?

False
