Q

What is the ability to move a joint through its complete range of motion

A

Flexibility

25
What happens when an overactive or tight muscle decreases neural drive to its functional antagonist
Altered reciprocal inhibition
26
What is the cumulative injury cycle
Tissue trauma inflammation muscle spasm adhesions altered neuromuscular control muscle imbalance
27
What senses muscular tension and rate of tension change
GTOs
28
What senses muscular length and rate of length change
Muscle spindles
29
When a muscle is lengthened or stretched too much or too fast what sense is it and responds with a signal for the muscle to contract
Muscle spindles
30
What senses when there is too much tension and responds with a signal for the muscle to relax also with the intention to reduce the chances of muscular injury
GTOs
31
When the relaxation signals initiated by the GTO are greater than the Muscle spindles signals asking the muscle to contract what is occurring
Autogenic inhibition
32
When moving into a stretch the 1st point of overstretching is identified by what
Muscle spindle
33
When overstretching is identified, the ______ ______ send a message to the nervous system causing the muscle to __________ to avoid any additional lengthening
Muscle spindle Contract
34
What is the alteration of muscle length surrounding the joint
Muscle imbalance
35
Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion which may place abnormal stresses on the body is known as
Pattern overload
36
What is Davis's law
Soft tissue models along the lines of stress
37
What type of stretching is the process of using agonists and synergistics to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion
Active isolated stretching
38
What is the active extension of a muscle, using force production and momentum to move the joint through a full range of motion
Dynamic stretching
39
What is the gold standard way of determining cardio respiratory intensity
Peak V02 method
40
What method is most commonly used to set exercise intensity
Maximal heart rate 220-age
41
What is the method that is a more accurate way than maximal heart rate to set a target heart rate. It requires the estimation of heart rate Max however it uses a more complex equation that also considers a person's resting heart rate
