25
Mobility
Ability to produce a desired movement based on what a joint can do on its own Freedom to get into end range of motion Ability for a joint to move a full ROM actively
26
Joint by joint approach
Foot-stability Ankle- mobility Knee-stability Hip- mobility Lumbar spine- stability Thoracic spine- mobility Scapula- stability Gleno-humeral joint- mobility Elbow joint- stability
27
What happens if you lack mobility in one joint? ex ankle
Your body will try and compensate for this lack of mobility and will affect joints up the chain ex. affects knee
28
Activation
Isolate a specific muscle group/position through forceful contraction
29
Post activation potentiation (PAP)
Enhancement of one agent so that the combined effects is greater than the sum of the effects of each alone
30
How does potentiation work?
Creating fast, dynamic movement prior to training to increase the nervous system output to carry over to training sessions performed at submaximal energy
31
What is potentiation specific to?
Upcoming task
32
Example of potentiation
Loaded jump squat before back squatting
33
Guidelines for RAMP warm up
Soft tissue work Raise heart rate (3-5 min) Mobilize (4-8 exercises) Activation (3-5 exercises) Potentiation (1-3 exercises)
34
Stretch reflex
The reaction of the efferent motor neuron to cause a rapid contraction created by the stimulation of the muscle spindle
35
Static stretching
1. Muscle quickly stretched, activating muscle spindle 2. Stretch reflex engaged causing a contraction of that muscle, protects it from being pulled forcefully or beyond its normal range of motion. 3. Perform static stretches slowly to avoid activating the stretch reflex
36
Autogenic inhibition
Injury preventing relaxation via GTO that occurs in the same muscle that is experiencing increased tension
37
How long does autogenic inhibition take?
7-10 s
38
Reciprocal inhibition `
Relaxation that occurs in the opposing muscle of which is experiencing increased tension
39
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching (PNF)
Using both passive and active components to improve ones ROM Tricking your body to allow for a greater ROM, bypassing stretch reflex
40
3 variations of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
1) Hold-Relax 2) Contract-relax 3) Hold relax with agonist contraction
41
Hold-relax
Passive pre-stretch for 10s Isometric contraction against resistance for 6s (person pushing) Allows for a deeper passive stretch for 30s bc of autogenic inhibition
42
How long should a passive pre-stretch be?
10 s till mild discomfort
43
Contract-relax
1. Contract a muscle against resistance as hard as possible through a full ROM to activate the GTO 2. Stop the contraction and the GTO assists in muscular relaxation 3. Utilize relaxation to push a passive stretch further than normal
44
Hold-relax with agonist contraction
1. Apply stretching force to a limb (ex. hamstring) 2. Activate the opposing muscle group that you are stretching (ex quad) 3. Increased relaxation of stretched muscle, can stretch further due to reciprocal inhibition
45
Stretching FITT principle
Frequency Intensity Time Type
46
FITT-frequency
2x per week for a minimum of 5 weeks
47
FITT- intensity
Mild discomfort
48
FITT- time
15-30s
49
FITT- type
Static, dynamic and PNF
50
When should we do static stretching?
Post exercise BUT pre-exercise is ok as long as it is followed up by activation
51
What should we begin all stretching with?
Period of general activity to raise temp
52
Methods of improving mobility
Functional range conditioning Resistance training
53
Functional range conditioning
Lift offs CAR's/ axials PAIL's and RAIL's
54
Resistance training
Training through a full range of motion Eccentric and isometric focus
55
Lift-offs
Utilize isometric contractions to create strength and motor control at end ranges of motion
56
Goal of lift offs
Make passive ROMs become active ROMs
57
CARs/Axials
Utilize active rotation movements at outer limits of your range of motion for each individual joint to improve neurological control
58
What does CAR's stand for?
Controlled articular rotations
59
What does CAR's/axials improve?
Joint stability and kinesthetic awareness
60
What does PAILS stand for?
Progressive angular isometric loading
61
What does RAILS stand for?
Regressive angular isometric loading
62
Goal of PAILS and RAILS
Create active control from your passive range of motion by stimulating the nervous system to contract/relax, developing strength and resilience in the newly acquired range
63
How long should PAILS and RAILS take?
1 min static: 10-20 PAILS: 10-20s RAILS: 2 min static
64
What does resistance training improve?
Joint mobility
65
How does resistance training improve mobility?
By performing exercises through a full ROM
66
Progressive vs regressive stretching
Progressive= pushing down in to ground Regressive pull up towards body
