Chapter 1 - The Scientific Rationale for Integrated Training

Question 1

Muscle Imbalance

Answer 1

Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint.

Question 2

Obesity

Answer 2

The condition of being considerably overweight, and refers to a person with a body mass index of 30 or greater, or who is at least 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height.

Question 3

Overweight

Answer 3

Refers to a person with a body mass index of 25 to 29.9, or who is between 25 to 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height.

Question 4

Blood Lipids

Answer 4

Also known as cholesterol and triglycerides, blood lipids are carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules known as high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL).

Question 5

Diabetes Mellitus

Answer 5

Chronic Metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins.

Question 6

Deconditioned

Answer 6

A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability.

Question 7

Proprioception

Answer 7

The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement.

Question 8

Proprioceptively Enriched Environment

Answer 8

An unstable (yet controllable physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms.

Question 9

OPT Model

Answer 9

Optimal Performance Training Model. Composed of three Building Blocks: Stabilization, Strength, and Power.

Question 10

5 Phases Training

Answer 10

Stabilization Endurance, Strength Endurance, Hypertrophy, Maximal Strength, and Power.

Question 11

Phases of Training

Answer 11

Smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training.

Question 12

Neuromuscular Efficiency

Answer 12

The ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion.

Question 13

Muscular Endurance

Answer 13

A muscle’s ability to contract for an extended period.

Question 14

Prime Mover

Answer 14

The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power.

Question 15

Superset

Answer 15

Set of two exercises that are performed back-to-back without any rest time between them.

Question 16

Rate of Force Production

Answer 16

Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.
