Q

OPT Model

A

The stabilization level has one phase of training:
* Phase 1 Stabilization Endurance Training

The strength level has three phases of training:
* Phase 2 Strength Endurance Training
* Phase 3 Muscular Development Training
* Phase 4 Maximum Strength Training

The power level has one phase of training:
* Phase 5 Power Training

Q

OPT Phase 5 Examples

A
4
Q

The process in which the body seeks the path of least resistance during
functional movements.

A

Relative flexibility

A prime example of relative flexibility is seen in people who squat with
their feet excessively externally rotated because individuals may have
limited ankle ROM that prevents adequate ankle dorsiflexion to perform
a squat with proper mechanics. A second example can be seen when
people perform an overhead shoulder press with excessive lumbar
extension (arched low-back).

5
Q

The synergistic action of multiple muscles working together to produce
movement around a joint.

A

Force-couple relationships

6
Q

When an agonist receives a signal to contract, its functional antagonist
also receives an inhibitory signal allowing it to lengthen.

A

Reciprocal inhibition

7
Q

Occurs when an overactive agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist.

A

Altered reciprocal inhibition

8
Q

The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over function for a weak or inhibited prime mover (agonist).

A

Synergistic dominance

9
Q

When a muscle’s resting length is too short or too long, reducing the amount of force it can produce.

A

Altered length-tension relationship

10
Q

Sensory receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that change.

A

Muscle spindle

11
Q

A specialized sensory receptor located at the point where skeletal muscle fibers insert into the tendons of skeletal muscle; sensitive to
changes in muscular tension and rate of tension change.

A

Golgi tendon organ
(GTO)

12
Q

The process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles.

A

Autogenic inhibition

13
Q

Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion over long periods of time that can lead to dysfunction or injury.

A

Pattern overload

14
Q

States that soft tissue models along the line of stress.

A

Davis’s law

15
Q

Self-myofascial rolling

A

Mechanism of Action: Autogenic inhibition

Training Variables: 1-3 sets, hold each tender area for 30 seconds

16
Q

Static stretching

A

Mechanism of Action: Stretch tolerance and/or reciprocal inhibition
(depending how stretch is performed)

Training Variables: 1-3 sets, hold each stretch for 30 seconds

17
Q

Active stretching
(formerly called active isolated stretching)

A

Mechanism of Action: Reciprocal inhibition

Training Variables: 1-3 sets, hold each stretch for 1-2 seconds and repeat
for 5–10 repetitions

18
Q

Hip flexor, adductor, and
latissimus dorsi static and
active stretches

A

Posteriorly rotate the pelvis to increase the effectiveness of the stretch.

19
Q

FITTE-VP

A

frequency, type, time, enjoyment, volume and progression
