CH.10 BALANCE TRAINING CONCEPTS Flashcards
WHEN BODY IS IN EQUILIBRIUM AND STATIONARY, MEANING NO LINEAR OR ANGULAR MOVEMENT
BALANCE
ABILITY TO MOVE AND CHANGE DIRECTIONS UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS WITHOUT FALLING (RUNNING ON UNEVEN SURFACES)
DYNAMIC BALANCE
T OR F: KEY TO ALL FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS IS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN BALANCE AND POSTURAL CONTROL
TRUE
STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY OTHER NEUROMUSCULAR SKILLS SUCH AS SPEED, ENDURANCE, FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH
DYNAMIC BALANCE
ABILITY TO REDUCE FORCE AT RIGHT JOINT, RIGHT TIME AND IN RIGHT PLANE OF MOTION REQUIRES WHAT ?
OPTIMAL LEVELS OF DYNAMIC BALANCE AND NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY
INTEGRATED PROCESS REQUIRING OPTIMAL MUSCULAR BALANCE (OR LENGTH TENSION RELATIONSHIPS AND FORCE COUPLE RELATIONSHIPS), JOINT DYNAMICS (OR ARTHROKINEMATICS) AND NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY USING VISUAL, VESTIBULER (INNER EAR) AND PROPRIOCEPTIVE INPUTS
MAINTENANCE OF POSTURAL EQUILIBRIUM (OR BALANCE)
T OR F: FLAWED MOVEMENT PATTERNS ALTER FIRING ORDER OF MUSCLES ACTIVATED, WHICH DISTURBS SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT PATTERNS AND DECREASES NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY
TRUE
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT JOINT DYSFUNCTION CREATES WHAT ?
MUSCLE INHIBITION
ALTERED AFTER ANKLE SPRAINS, LIGAMENTOUS INJURIES TO KNEE AND LBP
SENSORY FEEDBACK TO CNS
MUSCLE IMBALANCES, JOINT DYSFUNCTIONS, PAN, AND SWELLING CAN LEAD TO WHAT ?
ALTERED BALANCE
BALANCE TRAINING SHOULD STRESS AN INDIVIDUALS LIMIT OF WHAT ?
STABILITY (BALANCE THRESHOLD)
DISTANCE OUTSIDE BASE OF SUPPORT THAT THEY CAN MOVE INTO WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL OF CENTER OF GRAVITY
LIMIT OF STABILITY
IN ORDER TO IMPROVE DYNAMIC BALANCE AND NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY OF BALANCE THRESHOLD ONE MUST PLACE STRESS ON THRESHOLD HOW ?
MULTIPLANAR, PROPRIOCEPTIVELY ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT AND USE FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS
BALANCE TRAINING FILLS GAP LEFT BY TRADITIONAL TRAINING B/C IT FOCUSES ON WHAT ?
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT PATTERNS IN MULTISENSORY, UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT
CRITICAL FOR DEVELOPING, IMPROVING, AND RESTORING SYNERGY AND SYNCHRONICITY OF MUSCLE FIRING PATTERNS REQUIRED FOR DYNAMIC BALANCE AND OPTIMAL NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY
IMPLEMENTATION OF BALANCE EXERCISES INTO TRAINING PROGRAM
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT PERFORMING THESE CAN REDUCE RATE OF ANKLE SPRAINS AND OTHER LOWER EXTREMITIES INJURIES
EXERCISES THAT DEMAND BALANCE
INTEGRATED INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDED WHAT GREATLY INFLUENCED ABILITY TO IMPROVE LOWER EXTREMITY BIOMECHANICS
BALANCE EXERCISES IN ADDITION TO PLYOMETRIC OR STRENGTH EXERCISES
BALANCED TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT ARE PERFORMED FOR AT LEAST HOW MANY MINUTES AND TIMES PER WEEK FOR 4 WEEKS, APPEAR TO IMPROVE BOTH STATIC AND DYNAMIC BALANCE ABILITY
AT LEAST 10 MINS A DAY, 3 TIMES PER WEEK FOR 4 WEEKS
BALANCE TRAINING MUST BE SYSTEMATIC AND WHAT ?
PROGRESSIVE
BALANCE AND NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY ARE IMPROVED THROUGH REPETITIVE EXPOSURE TO WHAT ?
A VARIETY OF MULTISENSORY CONDITIONS
BALANCE TRAINING PARAMETERS - PROGRESSIVE EXERCISE
EASY TO HARD SIMPLE TO COMPLEX STABLE TO UNSTABLE STATIC TO DYNAMIC SLOW TO FAST 2 ARMS/LEGS TO SINGLE ARM/LEG EYES OPEN TO EYES CLOSED KNOWN TO UNKNOWN (COGNITIVE TASK)
