25 x3 Flashcards
The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover.
Synergistic Dominance
The average daily nutrient intake level that is estimated to meet the requirement of half the healthy individuals who are in a particular life stage and gender group.
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)
Chronic metabolic disorder, in which the body’s ability to produce insulin or to utilize glucose is altered
Diabetes
Transmits information from one neuron to another
Interneurons
The capability to be elongated or stretched.
Extensibility
The process of choosing appropriate exercises for a client’s program.
Exercise Selection
Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection.
Neuromuscular Specificity
The ability of the kinetic chain to stabilize a joint during movement.
Dynamic Joint Stabilization
The initial reaction to a stressor.
Alarm Reaction
An unstable (but controlled) environment where exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms
Proprioceptively enriched environment
portion of the skeletal system that includes the upper and lower extremities
Appendicular skeleton
The process of passively taking a muscle to the point on tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 20 sec
Static stretching
Muscular pump that rhythmically contracts to push blood throughout the body
Heart
Movement of the bones around the joints
Rotary Movement
A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and/or a lack of core and joint stability
Deconditioned
The ability of the body’s nerves to effectively send messages to the body’s muscles
Neuromuscular efficiency
Motor neuron and muscle fibers it innervates
Motor Unit
Projections protruding from the bone to which muscles, tendons, and ligaments can attach, also known as condyle, epicondyle, tubercle, and trochanter
Process
In and around joint capsule. Responds to pressure, acceleration and deceleration of joint. signals extreme joint positions. Initiates reflexive inhibitory response in surrounding muscles.
Joint Receptors
Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce this distress to the system.
Exhaustion
Attaches muscle to bone
Tendon
Composed of the brain and spinal cord & it interprets information
Central Nervous System
Power: explosive (x/x/x) Strength: Moderate (2/0/2) Stabilization: Slow, emphasizing eccentric, concentric, and isometric muscle groups. (4/2/1)
Repetition Tempo
Method of asking questions on a step-by-step basis to discover the initial cause of a fault
Root cause analysis
The functional unit of the nervous system
The Neuron
