Module 3 Flash Cards
The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow full range of motion of a joint
Flexibility 🤸♂️
What is developed when clients demonstrate poor flexibility?
Relative flexibility 👎
The body’s ability to produce, reduce, and stabilizes forces in all three planes of motion
Neuromuscular efficiency
The process when neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses the cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles
Autogenic inhibition 💢🧸
What are 8 reasons for the incorporation of flexibility training?
1️⃣ Correct muscle imbalances
2️⃣ Increase joint range of motion
3️⃣ Decrease tension of muscles
4️⃣ Relieve joint stress
5️⃣ Improve extensibility
6️⃣ Maintain normal functional length of muscles
7️⃣ Improve optimum neuromuscular efficiency
8️⃣ Improve function
What is the repair process initiated by dysfunction within the connective tissue of the kinetic chain that is treated by the body as an injury?
Cumulative injury cycle ♻️
The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns
Relative flexibility 👎
The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits it’s functional antagonist
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Altered reciprocal inhibition, synergistic dominance, and arthrokinetic dysfunction all lead to what?
Muscle imbalance 🏄🏽♀️
Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stress on the body
Pattern overload
Law that states soft tissue models along lines of stress
Davi’s law
What are 3 phases of integrated flexibility continuum?
1️⃣ Corrective flexibility
2️⃣ Active flexibility
3️⃣ Functional flexibility
The type of flexibility designed to improve extensibility of soft tissue and increase neuromuscular efficiency by using reciprocal inhibition
Active flexibility
What are 2 techniques used in corrective of flexibility?
1️⃣ SMR
2️⃣ Static stretching
What stretching technique uses agonist and synergist muscles to move a limb through its entire range of motion while stretching the functional antagonist?
Active-isolated stretching 🙆♀️
What stretching technique uses functional movements to move the body through a full range of motion at realistic speeds?
Dynamic stretching
What type of flexibility is developed during phase 1 of OPT model?
SMR and Static stretching
Which stretching technique is used during phases 2, 3, and 4 of the OPT model?
Active-isolated stretching
Which stretching technique is used during phase 5 of the OPT model?
Dynamic stretching
Stretching technique that focuses on the neural system and fascial system of the body by applying gentle force to a an adhesion?
Self-myofascial release
What is the minimum amount of time static stretches should be held?
⏰ 30 seconds
What are 3 things a client should have established prior to incorporating dynamic stretching into a program?
1️⃣ Good levels of tissue extensibility
2️⃣ Core stability
3️⃣ Balance capabilities
What is the minimum duration pressure should be at sustained on adhesions while performing self-myofascial release?
⏰ 30 seconds
Which heart rate training zone builds aerobic base and aids in recovery?
Zone one☝🏽
