Flexiblity Flashcards

Range of motion
The amount of available motion or arc of motion that occurs at a specific joint
Assess with body at anatomical position
Range of motion influencing factor

Specifics diseases
ROM assessment overview
Locate the full crumb at the joint axis or hinge point
Were the Access of rotation occurs from the two body segments
Instruct the client to move body segments slowly until they can’t go further without discomfort
All anatomical landmarks are identified, joint access point has been clearly defined,
Why muscular fitness
Adults should also do muscular strengthening activities that are moderate or high intense to involve all major muscle groups on two or more days a week as these activities provide additional health benefits
Why measure muscular fitness
Prerequisite for good physical function, ability to lift or move objects
Sarcopenia- inability to perform daily tasks
Unique assessment principles
There are 700 skeletal muscles with a very performance levels
Therefore there is no single measurement that provides an assessment of an individual muscular shrig the muscular endurance
Types of contractions
Isometric/static - generation a force without movement and no change in joint angle
Dynamic
Eccentric- muscle is lengthened during contraction
Concentric- muscle to shorten during contraction
Before flexibility test
Procedure should include a warm up prior to assessment has it increases blood circulation of muscles and help refamiliarize the client with the lifting method
Methods of loading
Free weights and resistance exercise machines
Free weight pros
Uniformity, wide range of motion, similarity to daily activities
Free weight cons
Difficulty in isolating muscle groups, risk to client safety
Resistance exercise machines pro
Ability isolates specific muscle groups, low safety risk
Resistance exercise machine cons
Limited movement patterns, variability and resistance between different brands, patterns not necessarily typical of every day activities, potential difficulty and consistent long-term tracking
Methods of loading for muscular endurance tests
Subject bodyweight, fixed absolute weight, six percentage of maximum capacity
Specificity
The size a muscle and limb, type of contractions, exact movement pattern, speed of moment, I’m on a resistance
Strength assessment
No single measure for muscular strength
Strength
Measurement of the maximal force capability of the muscle
Endurance
Measurement of the ability to continue performing contractions at a some maximal level
Dynamic strength assessment
Bench press for upper body and leg press for lower body
Endurance assessments
Fix number contractions and define time, Maximum number of contractions of us at resistance, instead of contraction help for time
Dynamic endurance assessment field tets
Able to test larger groups of people, new equipment required, common tests include push-ups, maximal repetitions perform with proper technique or measured, standard technique and procedures is crucial
Endurance assessment static
Time tests of holding a some maximum contraction
Cardio respiratory fitness
Reflects the functional capabilities of the heart, blood vessels, lungs and skeletal muscles to perform work
The ability to perform large muscle, dynamic, moderate to high intensity exercise for prolonged periods
Maximal aerobic capacity, functional capacity, physical work capacity, cardiovascular endurance, fitness or capacity
Why does your cardio respiratory fitness
Concerned one of the best indicators of collective health. Individualization of exercise prescription. Relation a function in every day activities
