23
Q

Muscle spindle

A

Sensory receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that change.

24
Q

Central nervous system

A

A division of the nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord.

25
Q

Stretch reflex

A

Neurological signal from the muscle spindle that causes a muscle to contract to prevent excessive lengthening.

26
Q

Golgi tendon organ (GTO)

A

A specialized sensory receptor located at the point where skeletal muscle fibers insert into the tendons of skeletal muscle; sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of tension change.

27
Q

Autogenic inhibition

A

The process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles.

28
Q

Lengthening reaction

A

When a muscle is lengthened, a cascade of neurological reactions occur that allows the muscle to be stretched.

29
Q

Static stretching

A

A type of stretch where the muscle is passively lengthened to the point of tension and held for a sustained amount of time.

30
Q

What term refers to the neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over function for a weak or inhibited prime mover (agonist)?

A

Synergistic dominance

31
Q

Pattern overload

A

Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion over long periods of time that can lead to dysfunction or injury

32
Q

Cumulative injury cycle

A

A cycle whereby tissue trauma will induce inflammation, muscle spasm, adhesions, altered neuromuscular control, and muscle imbalances.

33
Q

Nociceptors

A

Pain receptors located in the skin and fascial connective tissues

34
Q

Davis’s law

A

States that soft tissue models along the line of stress.

35
Q

Collagen matrix

A

A complex meshwork of connective tissue, including collagen proteins

36
Q

Which of the following states that soft tissue models along the line of stress?

A

Davis’s law

37
Q

With regard to the cumulative injury cycle, current theory supports the idea that repetitive movements, such as long periods of poor posture, are believed to lead to which of the following?

A

Tissue trauma and inflammation

38
Q

Self-myofascial techniques

A

Techniques used for treating and breaking up adhesions of the fascia and the surrounding muscle tissues; examples include foam rolling or self-massage.

39
Q

Fascial system

A

A web of connecting fibers made of connective tissues that are found just under the skin.

40
Q

Mechanical effect

A

Having a physical effect.

41
Q

Neurophysiological effect

A

Having an effect on the nervous system

42
Q

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

A

Pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity.

43
Q

Medical precautions

A

Any medical conditions that could be potentially unsafe for a client.

44
Q

Contraindication

A

A specific situation where a medication, procedure, or exercise should be avoided because it may prove to be harmful to the individual.

45
Q

TRUE OR FALSE? The mechanical effect of direct roller compression is the relaxation of the local myofascia by increasing local blood flow and reducing myofascial restriction and adhesions.

A

True

46
Q

What is the term used to describe the pain or discomfort that is often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity?

A

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

47
Q

Stretch tolerance

A

The ability to experience the physical sensations of stretching to reduce the discomfort felt at the end range of motion

48
Q

What is theminimumduration for which a static stretch should be held?

A

30 seconds

49
Q

TRUE OR FALSE? Static stretching, when performed for 30 seconds or less prior to every workout and followed by dynamic activities, impairs athletic performance.

A

False

50
Q

Active stretching

A

A type of stretching that uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion; includes holding the stretched position for 1–2 seconds and repeating for 5–10 repetitions.

51
Q

What is the term used to describe a type of stretching that uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion?

A

Active stretching

52
Q

What is the mechanism of action for active stretching?

A

Reciprocal inhibition

53
Q

Dynamic stretching

A

A type of stretching that uses the force production of a muscle and the body’s momentum to take a joint through the full available range of motion.

54
Q

Controversial stretches

A

Stretches that have the potential for injury risk.

55
Q

What should precede dynamic stretching if an individual possesses muscle imbalances?

A

Self-myofascial techniques and static stretching

56
Q

What is the goal of dynamic stretching?

A

To prepare the body for more intense activity
