Section 5 Flashcards
(101 cards)
 exercises performed back to back in rapid succession
Superset
Synergist
Assist the main muscle in force production
Concentric vs eccentric
lifting the dumbbell is due to concentric contraction of the biceps brachii muscle, while lowering the dumbbell is the result of eccentric contraction.
Which synergist with a sister, upper body pectoral muscles to enhance chess stabilization, strength and power
 Triceps
Which Adl would most likely involve hip hinge
Cleaning
What is not a benefit of resistance training?
 Decreased metabolic rate
Which plyometric term relates to rapid eccentric motion, followed by an explosive concentric motion
 Stretched shortening cycle 
Which phase of training would be most appropriate for a beginner who has had previous experience in the last few months
Strength, endurance, training
Which term refers to the neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergist take over function for a week or inhibited prime movers
 Synergistic dominance
What is altered, reciprocal inhibition
When an overactive agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to it’s functional antagonist
Which law states that soft tissue models along the line of stress
Davis’s law
Adhesion may begin to form structural changes in the soft tissue
What is the minimum duration that a static stretch should be held?
 30 seconds
Define active stretching
 Using agonist and synergist muscles to dynamically, move the joint into a range of motion
What is the mechanism of action for active stretching?
 Reciprocal inhibition
What are the recommended training variables for active stretching
1-3 sets
Hold 1-2 sec
Repeat 5-10x
Relative flexibility
 Altered movement patterns
Process and speed from which frequency, intensity time and type are increased
 Rate of progression
Five components of fitness
Cardio respiratory aerobic fitness
Muscular strength
 Muscular endurance
Flexibility,
 body composition, 
FITTE-VP
Frequency, intensity, type, time, enjoyment, volume, progression
What does not reflect the traditional components of cardiorespiratory training
Interval phase
Control spinal posture/control
Local muscles consist primarily of which type of muscle fiber
Type one
Local muscles
Provide dynamic control of spinal segments, limiting excessive compression and rotational force
Eg. Rotatores, multifidus, transverse abdominis, diaphragm, pelvic floor
Global muscles
 More superficial. Act to move the trunk transfer loads between upper and lower extremities and provide stability of the spine.
Eg. Rectus abdominis, obliques, erector spines, lat Doris, iliopsoas
Kyphotic/kyphosis
The normal curvature of the thoracic spine region, creating a convex portion of the spine
