Chapter 1: Integrated Training Essentials Flashcards
Integrated training
A comprehensive approach that attempts to improve all components necessary for an athlete to perform at the highest level and prevent injury.
Functional
strength
The ability of the neuromuscular system to contract eccentrically, isometrically, and concentrically in all three planes of motion.
Neuromuscular
efficiency
The ability of the Human Movement System to allow agonists, antagonists, synergists, and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce force, reduce force, and dynamically stabilize the entire Human Movement System.
Stretch-shortening
cycle
An active stretch (eccentric contraction) of a muscle followed by an immediate shortening (concentric contraction) of that same muscle.
Length-tension
relationship
The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.
Force–couple
Muscle groups moving together to produce move- ment around a joint.
Altered reciprocal
inhibition
Muscle tightness that causes decreased neural drive to its functional antagonist.
Synergistic
dominance
Compensation by synergists for a weak or inhibited prime mover in an attempt to maintain force production and functional movement patterns.
Flexibility
The ability of the Human Movement System to have optimal ROM as well as neuromuscular control throughout that ROM in order to prevent injury and enhance functional efficiency.
Rate coding
Muscular force can be amplified by increasing the rate of incoming impulses from the motor neuron after all prospective motor units have been activated.
Rate of force
production
How quickly a muscle can generate force.
