25 x4 Flashcards
The process when neural impulses that sense tension is greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles.
Autogenic Inhibition
Any of various types of malignant neoplasms, most of which invade surrounding tissues, may spread to several sites and are likely to recur after attempted removal.
Cancer
The ability of any force to cause rotation around an axis
Torque
80 percent of joints
greatest capacity for motion
Information provided by some external source, such as a health and fitness professional, videotape, miror, or heart rate monitor to supplement the internal environment.
External Feedback
Training that involves placing stress on the cardiorespiratory system
Integrated cardio resiratory training
Information that is measurable like heart rate or waist size.
Objective information
kinetic chain
nervous system, skeletal system and muscular system
The process where by sensory information is used by the body to reactively monitor movement and the environment.
Internal Feedback
Refers to a position relatively farther away from the midline of the body or towards the outside of the body.
Lateral
12 cranial nerves, 31 pairs of spinal nerves, and sensory receptors
relay info to and from brain
The precursor to osteoporosis. indicated by reduced bone mass.
Osteopenia
Positioned near the middle of the body
Medial
Fastest growing health problem in the US
Obesity
Condition in which there is a decrease in bone mass and density as well as an increase in the space between bones, resulting in porosity and fragility.
Osteoporosis
Movement of a body part towards the middle of the body (in the frontal plane).
Adduction
The contraction of a muscle generated by neural stimulation
Neural Activation
Performing exercises on the OPT template one after the other, in a vertical manner down the template.
Vertical Loading
The average daily nutrient intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all healthy individuals who are in a particular life stage and gender group.
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)
The manner in which the nervous, skeletal, and muscular system interact to produce a mechanical response to incoming sensory information.
Motor Behavior
Movement of a body part away from the middle of the body (in the frontal plane).
Abduction
Neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (such as sugars, starches, and celluloses) which make up a large portion of animal foods.
Carbohydrates
Set of two exercises that are performed back to back without any rest time between them
Superset
The inhalation of air during the process of breathing
Inspiration
The ability of the body to maintain postural equilibrium and support joints during movements.
Stability
