Ch. 22 Introduction To Exercise Modalities

Question 1

Modalities

Answer 1

Device or tools that are designed to enhance an exercise or movement to create a desired outcome by their inclusion. Examples include treadmill for cardiovascular health or dumbbells for strength and hypertrophy.

Question 2

Superset

Answer 2

Two exercises performed back to back in rapid succession with minimal to no rest.

Question 3

Circuit training

Answer 3

As series of exercises performed one after another with minimal (or limited) rest.

Question 4

Core stability

Answer 4

The ability of an individual to maintain a given position, adequately stabilizing the spine while the extremities are moving.

Question 5

Stability

Answer 5

The resistance to the external disruptions to one’s equilibrium.

Question 6

Planes of motion

Answer 6

The planes of movement in which the human body moves, which includes the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes.

Question 7

Proprioceptively enriched environment

Answer 7

An unstable (yet controllable) exercise environment that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms.

Question 8

Motor learning

Answer 8

Integration of motor control processes through practice and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in the capacity to produce skilled motor behavior.

Question 9

Proprioception

Answer 9

The body’s ability to naturally sense its general orientation and relative position of its parts.

Question 10

Bilateral

Answer 10

Relating to two sides of the body.

Question 11

Unilateral

Answer 11

Relating to one side of the body.

Question 12

TRUE OR FALSE? Strength training machines should never be the strength modality of choice for those who lack stability or have other functional limitations

Answer 12

False

Question 13

What term refers to the integration of motor control processes through practice and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in the capacity to produce skilled motor behavior?

Answer 13

Motor learning

Question 14

Antirotational exercises

.

Answer 14

Core exercises performed in a manner in which the exerciser resists forces that cause torso rotation; often unilateral in nature

Question 15

Asymmetrical resistance loading

Answer 15

Unequal or uneven resistance force. Examples include using different loads for each extremity or performing unilateral exercises.

Question 16

Lumbar spine

Answer 16

The lumbar region of the spine, more commonly known as the low back, which consists of five vertebrae labeled L1–L5.

Question 17

Thoracic spine

Answer 17

Composed of 12 vertebral bodies (T1–T12) that make up the midregion of the spine. Attached to the rib cage at each level of the thoracic spine providing stability and structural support.

Question 18

An elastic resistance band should not be stretched longer than what percentage of its resting length?

Answer 18

250%

Question 19

What term describes core exercises performed in a manner in which the exerciser resists forces that cause torso rotation?

Answer 19

Antirotational exercises

Question 20

Kinesthetic awareness

Answer 20

The awareness of the body’s position as it moves through multiple planes of motion.

Question 21

Suspended bodyweight training

Answer 21

A form of resistance training that uses a system of ropes and webbing that allows the user to work against their own body weight while performing various exercises.

Question 22

What is the correct foot placement when performing kettlebell swinging exercises?

Answer 22

Approximately shoulder-width apart

Question 23

Which kettlebell exercise can be used effectively in Phase 1 of the OPT model to improve stability and back strength?

Answer 23

Renegade row

Question 24

TRUE OR FALSE? Closed-chain exercises involve movements in which the distal extremities are not in a fixed position, and the force applied by an individual is great enough to overcome the resistance.

Answer 24

False

Question 25

Loaded movement training

Answer 25

Adding additional weight or load to dynamic, full-body, multiplanar movements.

Question 26

What term is used to describe training that adds a weight or load to dynamic, full-body, multiplanar movements?

Answer 26

Loaded movement training

Question 27

What popular piece of exercise equipment is a cylindrical tube constructed of hardened rubber, designed to be dragged, tossed, lifted, pulled, pressed, and carried?

Answer 27

ViPR

Question 28

TRUE OR FALSE? Stability balls are best used with clients who demonstrate a need for increased overload of stability.

Answer 28

True

Question 29

When utilizing devices such as a stability ball, BOSU ball, or the Terra-Core, the user is forced to actively engage their core musculature due to their body weight displacing air inside the bladder of the device, causing which of the following?

Answer 29

Perturbation

Question 30

Which of the following is a primary reason that people purchase fitness tracking devices?

Answer 30

Motivation

Question 31

TRUE OR FALSE? How quickly a person’s heart rate drops in the first minute after vigorous exercise is a predictor of poor heart health.

Answer 31

False

Question 32

How many minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week do the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization recommend for optimal health?

Answer 32

75 minutes
