Congrats! 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 couple hundred dollars to retake it. Try to remember which areas you struggled on so you can review those topic areas later. Comprehensive-type 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.

i think there is a few wrong answer about negative reinforcement
Can you let me know what question you're referring to if it's not this particular question:
The question asks for an example of negative reinforcement and the answer is to allow the athlete to skip wind sprints as a reward for good behavior. According to the Essentials of Strength Training & Conditioning (3rd edition) textbook p. 167, "negative reinforcement" is the removal of adverse stimuli as a reward for good behavior. The term "negative reinforcement" is commonly used by the layperson to describe a reward structure that encourages negative behavior. However, this is not how the term negative reinforcement is used in the strength and conditioning / sport psychology context.
In the strength and conditioning context (as per the NSCA's main textbook) here's how to understand positive and negative:
1) "Positive" means giving the athlete something good or bad.
2) "Negative" means taking away from the athlete something good or bad.
In the strength and conditioning context (as per the NSCA's main textbook) here's how to understand reinforcement and punishment:
1) "Reinforcement" means that the action encourages the desired behavior (e.g. good technique, making the basket, catching the pass, etc.)
2) "Punishment" means that the action discourages undesirable behavior (e.g. bad technique, missing the basket, dropping the pass, etc.)
When you put the two components together...
"Negative reinforcement" means to take away something so that the desired behavior is encouraged. The athlete will continue to do the desired behavior if you take away something they don't like (e.g. taking away wind sprints).
"Negative punishment" means to take away something so that the undesirable behavior is discouraged. The athlete will stop the undesirable behavior if you take away something they like (e.g. taking away ice cream).
"Positive reinforcement" means to give the athlete something so that the desired behavior is encouraged. The athlete will continue to do the desired behavior is you give them something they like (e.g. giving ice cream).
"Positive punishment" means to give the athlete something so that the undesirable behavior is discouraged. The athlete will stop the undesirable behavior if you give them something they don't like (e.g. giving them wind sprints).
You want Sam to give his best effort in the tests. Which of the following would be an example of negative reinforcement?
The answer that is marked correct on this question would be positive reinforcement. I believe this is the question that is marked incorrectly.
Thank you for all of this content!
