Chapter 1, Section 1 Flashcards
Overweight
Refers to a person with a BMI of 25-29.9 percent. Or a person who is 25-30 lbs over the recommended weight for their height.
Obesity
The condition of being considerably overweight and refers to a person with a body mass index of 30 or more. Or who is at least 30 lbs over the recommended weight for their height.
Muscle Imbalance
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint.
Blood lipids
Also know as cholesterol and triglycerides, blood lipids are carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules know as high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL)
Diabetes Mellitus
Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins.
Deconditioned
A state of lost physical fitness which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and the lack of core and joint stability.
Proprioception
The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement.
mechanoreceptor
any of the sense organs that respond to vibration, stretching, pressure, or other mechanical stimuli.
Proprioceptively enriched environment
And unstable, yet controlled, physical situation in which exercises are performed that cause the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms.
OPT model
The OPT model is divided into three different levels of training stabilization, strength, and power. Each level contain specific phases of training.
Phases of training
Smaller divisions of training aggressions that fall within the three building blocks of training.
Muscular endurance
A muscles ability to contract for extended period
Neuromuscular efficiency
Ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion
Prime mover
The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power
