3. Concepts of Integrated Training (Flexibility, Cardiorespiratory, Core) Flashcards
What 3 things has research demonstrated regarding circuit training?
Just as beneficial as traditional cardiorespiratory training; produces greater levels of EPOC and strength; produces near identical caloric expenditure when compared with walking at a fast pace
The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow full range of motion of a joint
Flexibility
What is developed when clients demonstrate poor flexibility?
Relative flexibility
The body’s ability to produce, reduce, and stabilizes forces in all three planes of motion
Neuromuscular efficiency
The process when neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles
Autogenic inhibition
What are 8 reasons for the incorporation of flexibility training?
Correct muscle imbalances; increase joint range of motion; decrease tension of muscles; relieve joint stress; improve extensibility; maintain normal functional length of muscles; improve optimum neuromuscular efficiency; improve function
What is the repair process initiated by dysfunction within the connective tissue of the kinetic chain that is treated by the body as an injury?
Cumulative injury cycle
The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns
Relative flexibility
The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Altered reciprocal inhibition, synergistic dominance, and arthrokinetic dysfunction all lead to what?
Muscle imbalance
Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stresses on the body
Pattern overload
Law that states soft tissue models along lines of stress
Davis’s law
What are the 3 phases of the integrated flexibility continuum?
Corrective flexibility, active flexibility, functional flexibility
The type of flexibility designed to improve extensibility of soft tissue and increase neuromuscular efficiency by using reciprocal inhibition
Active flexibility
What are 2 techniques used in corrective flexibility?
Static stretching and SMR (self-myofascial release)
What stretching technique uses agonist and synergist muscles to move a limb through its entire range of motion while stretching the functional antagonist?
Active-isolated stretching
What stretching technique uses functional movements to move the body through a full range of motion at realistic speeds?
Dynamic stretching
What type of flexibility is developed during Phase 1 of the OPT model?
SMR and static stretching
Which stretching technique is used during Phases 2, 3, and 4 of the OPT model?
Active-isolated stretching
Which stretching technique is used during Phase 5 of the OPT model?
Dynamic stretching
Stretching technique that focuses on the neural system and fascial system of the body by applying gentle force to an adhesion
Self-myofascial release
What is the minimum amount of time static stretches should be held?
30 seconds
What are 3 things a client should have established prior to incorporating dynamic stretching into a program?
Good levels of tissue extensibility, core stability, balance capabilities
What is the minimum duration pressure should be sustained on adhesions while performing self-myofascial release?
30 seconds
Which heart rate training zone builds aerobic base and aids in recovery?
Zone One
