Balance and Reflex

Question 1

Benefits of Balance Training 4

Answer 1

Increase awareness of stability limit using controlled instability

Develop, improve, and restore synergy of muscle firing patterns required for dynamic joint stabilization and neuromuscular control

Trains functional movements in proprioceptively enriched with progression, correct technique, and varying speeds

Facilitates maximal sensory input to CNS

Question 2

Proprioceptive Progression 6

Answer 2

Stable to unstable
Static to dynamic
slow to fast
2 arm/leg to single
eyes open to closed
known to unknown

Question 3

Question 4

Proprioceptive Modalities 6

Answer 4

Floor
Balance beam
Half roam roll
Foam Pad Airex

Wobble Board BOSU

Question 5

Plyometric

Answer 5

Quick, powerful movements involving eccentric contraction immediately followed by explosive concentric

Question 6

Amortization(transition)

Answer 6

transition between eccentric loading and concentric unloading muscle actions during plyometric movements. The faster the switch, the more powerful the contentric action

Question 7

Speed, agility, and quickness SAQ

Answer 7

React to ground forces, enhances ability to accelerate/decelerate, and dynamically stabilize entire body

Question 8

Speed

Answer 8

move body in 1 direction as fast as possible

Stride rate x stride length

Question 9

Agility

Answer 9

Start, stop, and change direction quick while maintaining posture

Question 10

Quickness

Answer 10

React to and change body position with maximum rate of force production

Question 11

Cone and speed ladder drills

Answer 11

primary method to train SAQ
