56. There is no movement during isometric exercise.
57. A power rack can be used to do isometric exercise.
58. Free weights are examples of constant resistance exercise.
59. A critical principle of power development is “strengthen muscles, not movement”
60. The resistance changes throughout the range of motion during variable resistance exercises.
61. Isokinetic exercise is also called accommodating resistance.
62. Muscle soreness occurs most commonly following eccentric exercise.

68. Athletes should develop high levels of strength before learning the Olympic lifts.
69. During powerful movements, Athletes should never maintain a stiff, neutral spine during most movements because the torso muscles (core muscles) act as a spring for transferring force from the lower body to the upper body.
70. The hip hinge is a forward trunk movement using the hip joint (hip flexion) rather than the spinal joints (spinal flexion).
71. Fifty percent of Americans are obese.
72. Training on unstable surfaces increases the capacity to exert maximum force during heavy lifts.

89. Cholesterol is storage fat in adipose tissue, largely constructed from glycerol and fatty acids.
90. Fat is the principle fuel used during exercise at intensities above 65 percent of maximum effort.
