1
Q

SAQ Training

A

Allows clients to enhance their ability to accelerate, decelerate, and dynamically stabilize their entire body during higher-velocity acceleration and deceleration movements in all POM

2
Q

Speed

A

The ability to move in one intended direction as fast as possible
-Product of stride rate and stride length

3
Q

Stride Rate

A

Number of strides taken in a given amount of time

4
Q

Stride Length

A

The distance covered with each stride

5
Q

Speed Importance

A

Should be addressed because of its implications for power and force production

6
Q

Proper Sprint Mechanics

A

Allow the client to maximize force generation through biomechanical efficiency, allowing maximal movement velocity to be achieved in the shortest time possible

7
Q

Frontside Mechanics

A

Proper alignment of the lead leg and pelvis during sprinting

  • Involved triple flexion of the ankle, knee, and hip
  • Associated with better stability, less breaking forces, and increased forward driving forces
8
Q

Backside Mechanics

A

Proper alignment of the rear leg and pelvis during sprinting

  • Involves triple extension of the ankle, knee, and hip in appropriate synchrony
  • Associated with a stronger push phase, and backside arm drive
9
Q

Front and Backside Mechanics

A

Work in synchrony to apply force to the ground, recover from a stride cycle, and propel the body forward effectively

10
Q

Pelvis During Sprinting

A

Important always stays neutral to facilitate proper ROM and force production

11
Q

Agility

A

The ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture

12
Q

Agility Requirements

A

Requires high levels of NM efficiency

13
Q

Agility Purpose

A

Can enhance NM coordination, dynamic flexibility, dynamic postural control, functional core strength, and proprioception
-Can prevent injury and improve structural integrity of connective tissue

14
Q

Quickness

A

Reaction time, the ability to react and change body position with maximal rate of force production, in all POM and from all body positions during functional activities

15
Q

Quickness CONT.

A

Involves the ability to assess visual, auditory, or kinesthetic stimuli and to provide the appropriate physical response as fast as possible

16
Q

SAQ For Nonathletic Populations

A

The increased NM, biomechanical, and physiological demand for such training can aid in weight loss, coordination, movement proficiency, and injury prevention when applied safely and effectively as seen in the OPT model

17
Q

SAQ Adaptations

A

Rapid adaptation to SAQ training is critical in the development, maintenance, and improvement of the NM, physiologic, and biomechanical proficiency from childhood to senior

18
Q

SAQ Training for Youth

A

For children to continue developing in an effective manner they must learn through external measures how to adapt and apply appropriate movement patterns
-SAQ training has been found to decrease the likelihood of injury, increase likehood of exercise adherence and participation, and improve physical fitness

19
Q

SAQ Drills for Youth

A

Red light, green light

follow the snake

20
Q

SAQ Training for Weight-Loss

A

Weight loss clients benefit from the increase exercised intensity and variety of movements offered
-Also more fun, engaging, and exciting leading to exercise adherence

21
Q

Primary Focus of SAQ Training for Weight-Loss

A

Keep HR appropriately elevated to increase fat oxidation and caloric expenditure

22
Q

SAQ Training for Seniors

A

Prevents age related decreases in bone density, coordinative ability, and muscular power

23
Q

SAQ and Ostopenia

A

Found to be effective in slowing and potentially reversing in ostopenia in older adults

24
Q

Ostopenia

A

Loss in bone density

25
Q

Movement Confidence and Proficiency

A

Essential in older adults to aid in the prevention of falls and maintain activities of daily life

26
Q

Sarcopenia

A

Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass

27
Q

SAQ Training and Sarcopenia

A

Along with resistance training, has been found to slow or reverse the process of

28
Q

SAQ Training Focus for Seniors

A

Drills should focus around the activities the individuals will need for daily life, such as standing-up, walking up stairs, and navigating ground obstacles

29
Q

SAQ Drills for Seniors

A
  • Varied size cone/hurdle step overs

- stand up to figure 8
