  How’d you do? Good I hope. If not, don’t worry; that’s what practice questions are for. If there’s any material that you have a question or concern with, please feel free to send me an email at david[at]cscsquestions.com. I try to make things as accurate as possible, but sometimes a typo or incorrectly selected answer gets in there. If you see something, please let me know. Also, if you can think of a new question, a better way to write a question, or if you have a clearer explanation of a concept, drop me an email. There are also more practice questions available on my Facebook page. Thanks!

  Not bad! Looks like you’re doing pretty well! If you didn’t do as well as you thought you would, don’t get down. These questions are somewhat difficult because the CSCS exam is difficult. Most people taking the exam already know a lot about strength training and conditioning, but they have some difficulty with the small details and scientific foundations information that the NSCA requires. Like strength training and conditioning itself, it’s better to work hard now so the actual exam isn’t as difficult. Besides, you don’t want to fail the exam and have to shell out another $475 to retake it.

  Try to remember which areas you struggled on so you can review those topic areas later. Questions like these are designed to help you remember the basic Scientific Foundations material when you need to apply them in practice. The majority of the CSCS exam is application and analysis-based, so simple recall questions will be limited. Remember, this quiz displays just 5 random questions from the question bank. Try each quiz multiple times so you can see all the different questions. There are also more practice questions available on my Facebook page.

  If there is something in the quiz you have a question about or disagree with, just post up in the comments section and I’ll see if I can help or if something needs to be changed. If you can think of any other questions to add to the quiz, just send me an email at david[at]cscsquestions.com and I’d be happy to add your suggestions to the quiz along with your name for recognition. Also, please do me a solid and like my Facebook page and share this website with others. Thanks!

CSCS Questions: Chapter 4: Endocrine Responses to Resistance Exercise

The endocrine system is the collection of glands within human beings that secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs. The major endocrine glands include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus, gastrointestinal tract and adrenal glands. The endocrine system is in contrast to the exocrine system, which secretes its hormones to the outside of the body using ducts. The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system, yet its effects and mechanism are different. The hypothalamus is the neural control center for all endocrine systems. The field of study dealing with the endocrine system and its disorders is endocrinology, a branch of internal medicine. Special features of endocrine glands are, in general, their ductless nature, their vascularity, and commonly the presence of intracellular vacuoles or granules that store their hormones. In contrast, exocrine glands, such as salivary glands, sweat glands, and glands within the gastrointestinal tract, tend to be much less vascular and have ducts or a hollow lumen.

In addition to the specialized endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems, such as bone, kidney, liver, heart and gonads, have secondary endocrine functions. For example, the kidney secretes endocrine hormones such as erythropoietin and renin. Hormones can consist of either amino acid complexes, steroids, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, or prostaglandins. A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, for example, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. As opposed to endocrine factors that travel considerably longer distances via the circulatory system, other signaling molecules, such as paracrine factors involved in paracrine signalling diffuse over a relatively short distance.

The word endocrine derives from the Greek words ἐνδο- endo- “inside, within,” and κρίνειν krinein “to separate, distinguish”.

CSCS Endocrine Questions

This page contains CSCS endocrine questions  to prepare for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam. Certified strength and conditioning specialists are fitness professionals. They are specially trained and experienced in using the application of scientific principles to improve athletic performance. Certified strength and conditioning specialists assist athletes by designing and implementing strength and conditioning programs. Certified strength and conditioning specialists (CSCS) conducting sport-specific performance testing, provide guidance with nutrition, and assist with injury prevention strategies (NSCA, 2015).

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Exam

The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) is a four-hour-long, pencil and paper or computer-based examination. The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam has two sections: “Scientific Foundations” and “Practical / Applied.” Each of these sections consist of questions that the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) feels are relevant to test the knowledge and experience of a candidate for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) professional credential. Certified strength conditioning specialist questions in the Scientific Foundations section include anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and nutrition. Certified strength conditioning specialist questions in the Practical / Applied section include program design, exercise techniques, testing and evaluation, and organization / administration (NSCA, 2015).

Certified Strength Conditioning Specialist Questions

This quiz features Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Exam Questions: Chapter 3 material: Endocrine Responses to Resistance Exercise from Essentials of Strength Training & Conditioning (3rd edition) textbook by Thomas R. Baechle and Roger W. Earle. This is the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) recommended textbook to prepare for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam (NSCA, 2015)
