Unit 3: Concepts Of Integrated Training: Flexability, Cadio,and Core

Question 0

Extensibility

Answer 0

Capability to be elongated or stretched

Question 1

Flexibility

Answer 1

The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full range of motion of a joint

Question 2

Dynamic Range of Motion

Answer 2

The combination of flexibility and the nervous system’s ability to control this range of motion efficiently

Question 3

Neuromuscular Efficiency

Answer 3

The ability of the neuromuscular system to allow agonists, antagonists, and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce, reduce, and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all three planes of motion

Question 4

Postural Distortion Patters

Answer 4

Predictable patterns of muscle imbalances

Question 5

Relative Flexibility

Answer 5

The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns

Question 6

Muscle Imbalance

Answer 6

Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint

Question 7

Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 7

The simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of its antagonist to allow movement to take place

Question 8

Altered Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 8

The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits it’s functional antagonist

Question 9

Synergistic Dominance

Answer 9

The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover

Question 10

Arthrokinematics

Answer 10

The motions of joints in the body

Question 11

Arthrokinetic Dysfunction

Answer 11

Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint

Question 12

Autogenic Inhibition

Answer 12

The process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles

Question 13

Pattern Overload

Answer 13

Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stresses on the body

Question 14

Davis’s Law

Answer 14

States that soft tissue models along the lines of stress

Question 15

Static Stretching

Answer 15

The process is passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds

Question 16

Active-isolated Stretch

Answer 16

The process of using agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion

Question 17

Dynamic Stretch

Answer 17

The active extension of a muscle, using force production and momentum, to move the joint through the full available range of motion

Question 18

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Answer 18

The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity

Question 19

Integrated Cardiorespiratory Training

Answer 19

Cardiorespiratory training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiologic, physical, and performance adaptations by placing stress on the Cardiorespiratory system

Question 20

General Warm-up

Answer 20

Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow
