Study Notes
CSCS Exam Breakdown
- Exam Part 1: Scientific Foundations (80 scored and 15 non-scored multiple-choice questions)
- 55% (44 questions) = Exercise Science – Chapters 1-7
- 24% (19 questions) = Sport Psychology – Chapter 8
- 21% (17 questions) = Nutrition – Chapters 9-11
- 15 non-scored questions = 95 total questions / 80 scored
- Exam Part 2: Practical / Applied
- 36% (40 questions) = Chapters 14-16
- 35% (38 questions) = Chapters 17-22
- 11% (12 questions) = Chapter 23 + 24
- 18% (20 questions) = Chapters 12 + 13
- 15 non-scored questions = 125 total questions / 110 scored
Chapter 1: Structure and Function of Body Systems (1-18)
- Musculoskeletal System
- Skeleton: Muscles pull against bones to transmit force. Muscles can only pull, not push, but muscle pulling can act as a force on external objects. Axial Skeleton includes skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum. Appendicular Skeleton includes shoulder girdle and appendages. Joints include fibrous (no movement), cartilaginous (limited movement), and synovial (considerable movement). Specific types of synovial joints are uniaxial (hinge), biaxial, and multiaxial.
- Skeletal Musculature: Epimysium (around entire muscle), fascicle (bundles of muscle fibers), endomysium (around each muscle fiber), perimysium (around each fascicle), myofibril (contain myosin and actin which form sarcomeres). Contraction occurs through the sliding filament theory, where calcium release from SR binds to troponin causing tropomyosin to move off the myosin binding site, allowing myosin heads to bind to actin, with stored ATP powering the stroke.
Other Chapters (Summary)
- Chapter 2: Biomechanics of Resistance Exercise: Biomechanics, musculoskeletal components for movement creation. Origin & insertion of muscles. Agonist (prime mover) and antagonist (slowing) muscles. Synergists (assist in movement) support the primary movers.
- Chapter 3: Bioenergetics of Exercise and Training: Hydrolysis of ATP, biological energy systems (phosphagen, glycolysis, & oxidative), substrate depletion & repletion.
- Chapter 4: Endocrine Responses to Resistance Exercise: Endocrine System's role in periodization. General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), progressive overload.
- Chapter 5: Adaptations to Anaerobic Training Programs: Neural adaptations, size principle, muscular adaptations (hypertrophy), connective tissue adaptations, mechanisms and factors.
- Chapter 6: Adaptations to Aerobic Endurance Training Programs: Energy production & capacity, substrate depletion, aerobic endurance training.
- Chapter 7: Age and Sex Related Differences: Age, sex-based differences in RT, and guidelines for youth resistance training.
- Chapter 8: Psychology of Athletic Preparation and Performance: Excellence in athletic performance, ideal performance state, role of sport psychology.
- Chapter 9: Basic Nutrition Factors: Good nutrition, dietary reference intakes, macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats), vitamins, minerals, and fluid balance.
- Chapter 10: Nutrition Strategies for Maximizing Performance: Pre-competition, during, and post-competition nutrition, glycogen synthesis.
- Chapter 11: Performance Enhancing Substances and Methods: Nutritional supplements, ergogenic aids, hormones, substances and their adverse effects.
- Chapter 12: Principles of Test Selection and Administration: Testing procedures, validity (content, construct, criterion), reliability, types of tests.
- Chapter 13: Administration, Scoring, and Interpretation of Selected Tests: Generating athletic profiles from data.
- Chapter 14: Warm-up and Flexibility Training: Importance and types of warmup, stretch tolerance, proprioceptors, and types of stretching.
- Chapter 15: Exercise Technique: Handgrips, body positioning, ROM, range of motion, breathing considerations, weight belts.
- Chapter 16: Exercise Technique for Alternative Modes: Free weight exercises (handgrips), variable resistance (using chains or bands), bodyweight, kettlebell training.
- Chapter 17: Program Design: Needs analysis (athlete and sport specific), considerations for volume, intensity, frequency, progression.
- Chapter 18: Program Design & Technique for Plyometric Training: Purpose, mechanics and physiology, program design, needs analysis.
- Chapter 19: Program Design & Technique for Speed and Agility Training: Speed, COD, agility mechanics and definitions of impulse, force, and momentum
- Chapter 20: Aerobic Endurance Training: Methods, progression, factors affecting performance.
- Chapter 21: Periodization: Systematic training, tapering, detraining
