Motor control
The ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly, while maintaining proper posture
Agility
Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages
Periodization
Fibers that are sensitive to change in length of muscle and rate of that change, major sensory organs of muscle. parallel to muscle fibers. transmit info to cns when stretched. causes muscle to contract to prevent overstretching/ stretching too fast.
Muscle spindles
The specific outline, created by a fitness professional to meet a client’s goals that details the form of training, length of time, future changes and specific exercises to be performed.
Training Plan
The ability of the neuromuscular system to allow agonists, antagonists, and stabilizers to work synergistically and control the entire kinetic chain in all three planes of motion

Inferior
The Straightening of a joint, causing the angle to the joint to increase.
Extension

The Nervous System
