A

When a joint has been stretched beyond its normal ROM or when weak muscles surround a joint. Also because of hereditary tendencies for “loose joints”

A

Muscles imbalance

20
Q

Muscle imbalances occur when

A

One or more FITT factors are misapplied in the training of opposing muscle groups

21
Q

The undeveloped muscles are at

A

Increased risk of becoming injured

22
Q

How can you evaluate your flexibility

A

With the trunk lift, arm lift, and sit-and-reach tweet

23
Q

The stretching and strengthening of muscles around the spine and pelvic muscles

A

Core stability

24
Q

Increasing core stability involed

A

Combination of strength-training exercise and flexibility training

25
Q

Core stability helps prevent

A

Injuries and low back pain. It also improves your performance fitness

26
Q

Core stability is an important element in

A

Developing balance, power, and coordination

27
Q

To improve flexibility you have to

A

Overload

28
Q

What the minimum frequency of stretching a week?

A

3 days a week. It is best to do some stretching daily

29
Q

What should your intensity goal be?

A

It should reach the point where the muscle or connective tissue is stretched just beyond its normal resting state. You should feel slight discomfort, but no pain

30
Q

What the time for your stretches?

A

They should begin at 20-30 seconds, as your ROM try to hold each stretch for 30 to 60 seconds, repeating three times per stretch

31
Q

To improve the flexibility of a particular joint or body area you need to apply

A

Specificity, do stretches that affect the nerves, muscles, and connective tissues that control movement around a specific joint or body part

32
Q

To maintain or improve flexibility what do you do?

A

Do a variety of stretches that influence all of your major body parts. Also work two opposing muscles

33
Q

Consists of doing stretches slowly, smoothly, and in a sustained fashion. Not moving. It is safe and effecting at increasing the ROM of the joints you work

A

Static Stretching

34
Q

Quick up-and-down bobbing movements in which stretches are held very briefly. It is used primarily to build components of performance, or skill-related fitness

A

Ballistic Stretching

35
Q

The automatic responses that your nerves and muscles provide to various movements

A

Reflexes

36
Q

Stretching movements that challenge the reflexes to adapt

A

Reflex-assisted stretching

37
Q

It is an example of reflex-assisted stretching. Training that includes bounding and jumping exercises

A

Plyometric trainin

38
Q

A type of stretching against a counterforce and in which there is little or no movement. The counterforce offers resistance. This force may be provided by a partner or an inanimate object
