NASM CPT Practice Exam 2025 – Complete Guide for Certification Preparation

Question: 1 / 400

What criteria does not typically apply when naming exercises?

Type of resistance training modality used

Body position

Time of day

When naming exercises, the criteria that does not typically apply is the time of day. Exercise naming conventions generally focus on elements that pertain directly to the mechanics and execution of the movement. This includes the type of resistance training modality used (such as free weights, machines, or body weight), body position (like standing, seated, or lying), and joint action (for instance, flexion, extension, or rotation). These factors provide essential information about how the exercise is performed and what muscle groups it targets.

Time of day has no bearing on the exercise itself; it is irrelevant to the name or classification of the movement. Thus, exercise names are not influenced by when they are performed, making "time of day" the correct choice for criteria that typically does not apply.
