Ch. 22 Introduction To Exercise Modalities Flashcards
Modalities
Device or tools that are designed to enhance an exercise or movement to create a desired outcome by their inclusion. Examples include treadmill for cardiovascular health or dumbbells for strength and hypertrophy.
Superset
Two exercises performed back to back in rapid succession with minimal to no rest.
Circuit training
As series of exercises performed one after another with minimal (or limited) rest.
Core stability
The ability of an individual to maintain a given position, adequately stabilizing the spine while the extremities are moving.
Stability
The resistance to the external disruptions to one’s equilibrium.
Planes of motion
The planes of movement in which the human body moves, which includes the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes.
Proprioceptively enriched environment
An unstable (yet controllable) exercise environment that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms.
Motor learning
Integration of motor control processes through practice and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in the capacity to produce skilled motor behavior.
Proprioception
The body’s ability to naturally sense its general orientation and relative position of its parts.
Bilateral
Relating to two sides of the body.
Unilateral
Relating to one side of the body.
TRUE OR FALSE? Strength training machines should never be the strength modality of choice for those who lack stability or have other functional limitations
False
What term refers to the integration of motor control processes through practice and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in the capacity to produce skilled motor behavior?
Motor learning
Antirotational exercises
.
Core exercises performed in a manner in which the exerciser resists forces that cause torso rotation; often unilateral in nature
Asymmetrical resistance loading
Unequal or uneven resistance force. Examples include using different loads for each extremity or performing unilateral exercises.
Lumbar spine
The lumbar region of the spine, more commonly known as the low back, which consists of five vertebrae labeled L1–L5.
Thoracic spine
Composed of 12 vertebral bodies (T1–T12) that make up the midregion of the spine. Attached to the rib cage at each level of the thoracic spine providing stability and structural support.
An elastic resistance band should not be stretched longer than what percentage of its resting length?
250%
What term describes core exercises performed in a manner in which the exerciser resists forces that cause torso rotation?
Antirotational exercises
Kinesthetic awareness
The awareness of the body’s position as it moves through multiple planes of motion.
Suspended bodyweight training
A form of resistance training that uses a system of ropes and webbing that allows the user to work against their own body weight while performing various exercises.
What is the correct foot placement when performing kettlebell swinging exercises?
Approximately shoulder-width apart
Which kettlebell exercise can be used effectively in Phase 1 of the OPT model to improve stability and back strength?
Renegade row
TRUE OR FALSE? Closed-chain exercises involve movements in which the distal extremities are not in a fixed position, and the force applied by an individual is great enough to overcome the resistance.
False
