Chapter 16: Exercise Technique for Alternative Modes and Nontraditional Implement Training

Question 1

this can be a major limiting factor to training with nontraditional implements

Answer 1

grip strength

Question 2

which strength parameter does body weight training not affect

Answer 2

absolute strength due to fixed weight

Question 3

axial skeleton and all the soft tissues with proximal attachemetns that originate on the axial skeleton

Answer 3

anatomical core

Question 4

consist of dynamic or isometric muscle actions designed to isolate specific cor muscularture without the contribution of the lower and upper extremities

Answer 4

isolation exercises

Question 5

this types of exercises have the greatest benefit for injured athletes who are going through rehabilitations and not able to adequately load traditional ground-based free weight exercises

Answer 5

isolation exercises

Question 6

the core of the body could be considered an important contributor to the prevention of this type of injury

Answer 6

anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Question 7

these may reduce the likelihood of ACL injury, particularly following a ACL injury

Answer 7

training with instability devices

Question 8

instability devices are best implemented in this scenario

Answer 8

returning an injured athlete to competitive-based training (ground-based free weight exercises)

Question 9

Three types of overload to the body (applied weight)

Answer 9

constant external
accommodating
variable resistance

Question 10

sometimes refered to as semi-isokinetic resistance

Answer 10

accommodating resistance

Question 11

this type of resistance has a controlled speed at which the ROM is applied, and force can vary by athlete

Answer 11

accommodating resistance

Question 12

T/F: kettlebell training is as effective as treadmill running for improving cardiovascular endurance

Answer 12

F, less effective

Question 13

unilateral training methods are generally used to do this

Answer 13

reduce bilateral deficit

Question 14

occurance of an increase in voluntary activation of the agonist muscle group by use of unilateral training

Answer 14

bilateral facilitation

Question 15

unilateral training is most effective in this population

Answer 15

untrained, weaker, and injured individuals

Question 16

trained individuals should not use unilateral methods for the development of strength based on this

Answer 16

increased bilateral facilitation present in trained individuals

Question 17

untrained individuals exhibit this in response to unilateral training

Answer 17

bilateral deficit
