32
Q

A

smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the 3 building blocks of training

33
Q

phase 1: stabilization endurance training

A
  • increase muscular endurance and stability while developing optimal neuromuscular efficiency (coordination)
  • increase ability to stabilize the joints and maintain optimal posture
34
Q

muscular endurance

A

a muscle’s ability to contract for an extended period

35
Q

neuromuscular efficiency

A

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

36
Q

the progression for phase 1 is ____ based

A
  • proprioceptively: difficulty is increased by introducing a greater challenge to the balance and stabilization systems of the body (vs. simply increasing the load)
37
Q

phase 1 exercises are typically performed in….

A

a circuit fashion (short rest periods) with a high number of repetitions

38
Q

goals of phase 1: stabilization endurance training

A

improve muscular endurance, enhance joint stability, increase flexibility, enhance control of posture, improve neuromuscular efficiency (balance, stabilization, muscular coordination)

39
Q

training strategies of phase 1: stabilization endurance training

A
  • training in unstable, yet controllable environments (proprioceptively enriched)
  • low loads, high repetitions
40
Q

strength level

A
  • emphasis is to maintain stabilization endurance while increasing prime mover strength
41
Q

prime mover

A

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

42
Q

phase 2: strength endurance training

A
  • goal is to enhance stabilization endurance while increasing prime mover strength
  • accomplished by performing 2 exercises in a superset sequence with similar joint dynamics
43
Q

superset

A
  • set of two exercises that are performed back-to-back, without any rest in between them
  • first exercise: traditional strength exercise performed in a stable environment
  • second exercise: challenges the stabilization muscles
44
Q

phase 3: hypertrophy training

A

designed for individuals who have the goal of maximal muscle growth (such as body builders)

45
Q

phase 4: maximal strength training

A

works towards the goal of maximal prime mover strength by lifting heavy loads

46
Q

goals of phase 2: strength endurance training

A
  • improve stabilization endurance and increase prime mover strength
  • improve overall work capacity
  • enhance joint stabilization
  • increase lean body mass
47
Q

training strategies of phase 2: strength endurance training

A
  • moderate loads and repetitions (8-12)
  • superset: one traditional strength exercise and one stabilization exercise per body part in the resistance training portion of the program
48
Q

goal of phase 3: hypertrophy training

A

achieve optimal levels of muscular hypertrophy (increase muscle size)

49
Q

training strategy of phase 3: hypertrophy training

A

high volume, moderate to high loads, moderate or low repetitions (6-12)

50
Q

goals of phase 4: maximum strength training

A
  • increase motor unit recruitment
  • increase frequency of motor unit recruitment
  • improve peak force
51
Q

training strategy of phase 4: maximum strength training

A
  • high loads, low repetitions (1-5), longer rest periods
52
Q

power level

A

emphasizes the development of speed and power

53
Q

phase 5: power training

A

the premise behind this phase of training is the execution of a traditional strength exercise (with a heavy load) superset with a power exercise (with a light load performed as fast as possible) of similar joint dynamics
- this is to enhance prime mover strength while also improving the rate of force production

54
Q

rate of force production

A

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

55
Q

goals of phase 5: power training

A
  • enhance neuromuscular efficiency
  • enhance prime mover strength
  • increase rate of force production
56
Q

training strategies of phase 5: power training

A
  • superset: one strength and one power exercise per body part in the resistance training program of the program
  • perform all power exercises as fast as can be controlled
57
Q

the program template

A
  • goal, phase
  • warm-up
  • core, balance, plyometric
  • speed, agility, quickness
  • resistance
  • cool-down
58
Q

flexibility training

A
  • the range of motion that a certain joint has
  • allows for more fluid movement patterns
  • reduces the chance of injury or pain
59
Q

cardiorespiratory training

A
  • increase the strength and health of the heart and cardiovascular system
  • increase the strength of connective tissues
  • improve the well-being of clients
  • provide advantageous effects for body composition
60
Q

core training

A
  • spot reducing fat around the abdomen is NOT possible
  • a well developed core is one that provides stability and strength to the spine and pelvis
  • should begin with exercises that focus on building stability of the lumbopelvic hip complex and work up to powerful movements as the client progresses through the OPT model
61
Q

balance training

A
  • balance plays an important role in the prevention of injuries and maximizing efficient movement patterns
  • poor balance can lead to poor body mechanics, joint dysfunction, and ultimately, injury
  • help build a strong kinetic train
62
Q

plyometric / reactive training

A
  • designed to generate quick, powerful movements
  • increase the ability of the client to dynamically reduce, stabilize, and produce forces rapidly so they can better function during activities of daily living
63
Q

speed, agility, and quickness training

A
  • more exciting; optional
  • develop proper running mechanics, quick reaction capabilities, and the ability to stop and change directions at maximal speeds while maintaining ideal body control
64
Q

resistance training

A
  • focus: activation of lengthened or under active muscles as determined by the movement screens during the assessment process
  • programming to strengthen these muscles will be important to decreasing movement dysfunction and injury potential
  • later phases of the OPT model use resistance training to focus more on muscle growth, overall strength, and increasing the rate of force production of muscle fibers
