Flexibility training concepts

Question 1

Flexibility

Answer 1

The ability to move a joint throughout it’s complete range of motion

Question 2

Extensibility

Answer 2

Capability to elongate or stretch

Question 3

Dynamic range of motion

Answer 3

The combination of flexibility and nervous system ability to control this range of motion efficiently

Question 4

Neuromuscular efficiency

Answer 4

The ability of the Nuro muscular system to allow other niece antagonist and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce reduce and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all three planes of motion

Question 5

Postural distortion pattern

Answer 5

Predictable patterns of muscle imbalance

Question 6

Homeostasis

Answer 6

The ultimate goal of the human movement system/to achieve dynamic postural equilibrium

Question 7

Relative flexibility

Answer 7

The bodies tendency to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns

Question 8

Reciprocal inhabilitation

Answer 8

The simultaneous construction of one muscle and the relaxation of its antagonist to allow movement to take place

Question 9

Altered reciprocal inhabitation

Answer 9

The concept of muscle inhabitation caused by a tight agonist which inhibits it’s functional antagonist

Question 10

Synergistic dominance

Answer 10

The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when inappropriate muscles take over the function of a week or inhabited prime mover

Question 11

Arthrokinemaics

Answer 11

The motion of joints in the body

Question 12

Arthrokinetic dysfunction

Answer 12

Altered force at the joint that results in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint
