- Eliza is a young soccer player who has been training on her own and has focused on using machines for the lower body including leg press, leg extension, and leg curl. She has recently hired a Sports Performance Coach to enhance her program. Which performance training tenet should her coach focus on to reduce her chance of an ACL injury?
Using optimum posture for sagittal plane movements
Use of the stretch-shortening cycle
Training in all planes of motion

- Which term describes the concept of muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist, decreasing the neural drive of its functional antagonist?
Phase potentiation
Length tension relationship
Synergistic dominance
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Altered reciprocal inhibition
- Jay is a Sports Performance Coach who has worked with a master level tennis players for several years. He often works with his athletes on balance by having them perform skills with their eyes open first, and then advancing to eyes closed. This approach reflects which of the following performance training tenants?
Training for optimal muscle function
Systematic and progressive training
Using assessment-based training
Training in all planes of motion
Systematic and progressive training

Core Training
Balance Training
- Rate coding is accurately defined by which of the following?

An active stretch of a muscle followed by an immediate shortening of that same muscle
The ability of the neuromuscular system to contract eccentrically, isometrically, and concentrically in all three planes of motion
Muscular force can be amplified by increasing the rate of incoming impulses from the motor neuron after all prospective motor units have been activated
