34
Q

This tissue only has elastic properties

A

muscle

35
Q

This tissue has both elastic and plastic properties

A

ligaments and tendons

36
Q

in order to emphasize plastic stretching, these 3 tenets should be followed

A

stretch to the point of mild discomfort
hold the stretch for a period of time
stretch only when the core temperature has been elevated

37
Q

this type of stretching occurs when the person who is stretching supplies the force of the stretch

A

active stretching

38
Q

this type of stretching occurs when a partner or stretching device provides the force for the stretch

A

passive stretching

39
Q

during this type of stretching the body part is put into motion, and its momentum takes it through the ROM until the muscles are stretched to the limit

A

ballistic stretching

40
Q

Increased dange of exceeding the extensilbility limits of the tissue, higher energy requirement, greater likelihood of causing muscular soreness, activation of the stretch reflex are all disadvantages of this type of stretching

A

ballistic stretching

41
Q

most commonly used method of increasing flexibility

A

static stretching

42
Q

a slow, constant sweep is used, with the stretch position held for 30 seconds

A

static stretching

43
Q

T/F: static stretching before a dynamic exercise maybe have a negative effect on performance

A

T

44
Q

T/F: increasing the static stretch time from 30 to 60 seconds has a dramatic effect on improving flexibility

A

F

45
Q

This stretching technique was originally developed as a technique to relax muscles that demonstarted increased tone or activity

A

proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)

46
Q

Stretching exercises should be done this many days per week

A

3

47
Q

this is the ideal time to stretch

A

after aerobic or resistance training due to increased core temperature

48
Q

The hold-relax method of PNF takes advantage of this to increase the stretch

A

golgi tendon organ reflex

49
Q

This type of stretching may be superior to other stretching methods because it assists muscular relaxation, potentially assiting in increased ROM

A

PNF

50
Q

T/F: great caution needs to be used when implementing a PNF program in group fitness, or with the young

A

T, due to increased injury risk

51
Q

When might PNF be useful in a PT setting

A

when the PT has been trained in PNF, and if the client has a drastic ROM in one or more joints

52
Q

This stretching technique avoids bouncing and includes movements which are specific to a sport or movement pattern

A

dynamic stretching

53
Q

With reference to the principle of specificity this type of stretching may be the most appropriate because it more closely simulates movements that occur in daily activities

A

dynamic stretching

54
Q

PTs who wish to implement dynamic flexibility training in a clients program should begin dynamic stretchs with low levels of these because dynamic flexibility require balance and coordination

A

volume and intensity

55
Q

Dynamic stretchs should be completed this many days a week, and because they use movement, each stretch should be repeated over this distance

A

2-5 times/week

20-25 yards

56
Q

two drawbacks of dynamic stretching

A

more physically demanding than static stretching

some joints can more effectively be stretched using static stretching techniques

57
Q

This is an activity that raises the total body temperature, as well as temperature of the muscles participating in vigorous exercise

A

warm-up

58
Q

increase in blood flow to the muscles
increase in the sensitivity to nerve receptors
increase in the disassociation of oxygen from hemoglobin and myoglobin
increase in the speed of nerve impulse transmission
reduction in muscle viscosity
lowering of the energy rates of metabolic reactions
These are all effects of this

A

warm-up

59
Q

This increase in tissue temperature that occurs during warm-up is the result of three physiological processes

A

friction generated by the sliding filaments
metabolism
dilation of intramuscular blood vessels

60
Q

this type of flexibility training also has a regenerative effect, resotring the muscles to their resting length, stimulating blood flow, and reducing muscle spasm

A

post-workout flexibility training

61
Q

Body temperature should be elevated to this point before beginning flexibility work

A

the client breaks into a light sweat

62
Q

Three types of warm-up methods

A

passive
general
specific

63
Q

this method of warm-up involves such methods as hot shower, heating pads, or massage

A

passive warm-up

64
Q

this method of warm-up involves basic activites that require movement of the major muscle groups, such as jogging, cycling or jumping rope

A

general warm-up

65
Q

This method of warm-up is more appropriate than passive warm-up when the goal is preparing the body for demanding physical activity

A

general warm-up

66
Q

This type of warm up includes movements that are an actual part of the activity

A

specific warm-up

67
Q

this appears to be the most desirable form of warm up, as increases the temperature of the particular muscles that will be used in susequent activity

A

specific warm-up

68
Q

The warm-up should last this long, or until the client breaks into a light sweat

A

5-15 minutes

69
Q

this type of training is simply a mode of resistance training in which the resistance is provided by the body rather than by an external weight such as a barbell or the weight stack of a selectorized machine

A

Body weight training

70
Q

To gain maximal benefits from body weight training this mus be emphasized

A

performing each exercise in a slow, controlled manor with perfect technique

71
Q

These should be the goal of a body weight training regimen

A

development of basic strength levels and/or muscular endurance

72
Q

the primary motivation of this type of training is the belief that an unstable surface will provide a greater challenge to the trunk muscles, increasing dynamic balance and possibly help to stabilize the spine in order to prevent injuries

A

stability ball training

73
Q

use of stability balls is most associated with this type of training

A

core training

74
Q

T/F: research has shown that the stability ball provides a wider range of movement than most training modes

A

T

75
Q

T/F: stability ball training has been shown to increase athletic performance

A

F

76
Q

T/F: force-generating capabilites are increased when using stability ball training

A

F, they are reduced due to the limb muscles being used to assist in joint stability

77
Q

Advantage or disadvantage to stability ball training: some studies have confirmed increased core stability with use of stabilities balls, but this did not result in improved sport performance

A

DA

78
Q

Advantage or disadvantage to stability ball training: under unstable conditions training at an intensity necessary to bring about increases in trained individuals is not posible

A

DA need to have 80% max strength

79
Q

Advantage or disadvantage to stability ball training: sport performance might be better enchanced by free weight exercises performed on a stable surface than exercises performed on a stability ball

A

DA

80
Q

Advantage or disadvantage to stability ball training: injuries are decreases as a result of improved balance, joint stability, proprioception, and NM control

A

Advantage

81
Q

Advantage or disadvantage to stability ball training: HR response and Vo2 rates are increased

A

advantage

82
Q

Advantage or disadvantage to stability ball training: abdominal strength, stabilty, balance, posture, proprioception, and flexibility are increased in pregnant women

A

advantage

83
Q

Advantage or disadvantage to stability ball training: for some sports that involve a degree of instability, using a stability ball can increase the degree of training specificity

A

advantage

84
Q

inorder to determine proper stability ball size, this should be the case

A

the individual sitting on the ball should have their thighs slightly above parallel to the ground
