CH.6 FITNESS ASSESSMENT PT.2 Flashcards
ABILITY OF THE NS AND MUSCULATURE SYSTEM TO COMMUNICATE PROPERLY PRODUCING OPTIMAL MOVEMENT
NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY
PROPER POSTURAL ALIGNMENT ALLOWS OPTIMAL NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY WHICH HELPS PRODUCE WHAT ?
EFFECTIVE AND SAFE MOVEMENT
WHAT HELPS KEEP MUSCLES AT PROPER LENGTH, ALLOWS MUSCLES TO PROPERLY WORK TOGETHER, ENSURES PROPER JOINT MOTION, MAXIMIZES FORCE PRODUCTION AND REDUCES RISK OF INJURY ?
PROPER POSTURE
HELPS BODY PRODUCE HIGH LEVELS OF FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH
PROPER POSTURE
HOW AN INDIVIDUAL PHYSICALLY PRESENTS IN STANCE; CONSIDERED BASE FROM WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL MOVES
STATIC POSTURE
BASIS FOR IDENTIFYING MUSCLE IMBALANCES
STATIC POSTURAL ASSESSMENT
T OR F: STATIC POSTURAL ASSESSMENT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY WHETHER PROBLEM IS STRUCTURAL IN NATURE OR WHETHER IT IS DERIVED FROM DEVELOPMENT OF POOR MUSCULAR RECRUITMENT PATTERNS
TRUE
