Chapter 12 - SAQ Training

Question 1

SAQ Training

Answer 1

Allows clients to enhance their ability to accelerate, decelerate, and dynamically stabilize their entire body during higher-velocity acceleration and deceleration movements in all POM

Question 2

Speed

Answer 2

The ability to move in one intended direction as fast as possible
-Product of stride rate and stride length

Question 3

Stride Rate

Answer 3

Number of strides taken in a given amount of time

Question 4

Stride Length

Answer 4

The distance covered with each stride

Question 5

Speed Importance

Answer 5

Should be addressed because of its implications for power and force production

Question 6

Proper Sprint Mechanics

Answer 6

Allow the client to maximize force generation through biomechanical efficiency, allowing maximal movement velocity to be achieved in the shortest time possible

Question 7

Frontside Mechanics

Answer 7

Proper alignment of the lead leg and pelvis during sprinting

• Involved triple flexion of the ankle, knee, and hip
• Associated with better stability, less breaking forces, and increased forward driving forces

Question 8

Backside Mechanics

Answer 8

Proper alignment of the rear leg and pelvis during sprinting

• Involves triple extension of the ankle, knee, and hip in appropriate synchrony
• Associated with a stronger push phase, and backside arm drive

Question 9

Front and Backside Mechanics

Answer 9

Work in synchrony to apply force to the ground, recover from a stride cycle, and propel the body forward effectively

Question 10

Pelvis During Sprinting

Answer 10

Important always stays neutral to facilitate proper ROM and force production

Question 11

Agility

Answer 11

The ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture

Question 12

Agility Requirements

Answer 12

Requires high levels of NM efficiency

Question 13

Agility Purpose

Answer 13

Can enhance NM coordination, dynamic flexibility, dynamic postural control, functional core strength, and proprioception
-Can prevent injury and improve structural integrity of connective tissue

Question 14

Quickness

Answer 14

Reaction time, the ability to react and change body position with maximal rate of force production, in all POM and from all body positions during functional activities

Question 15

Quickness CONT.

Answer 15

Involves the ability to assess visual, auditory, or kinesthetic stimuli and to provide the appropriate physical response as fast as possible

Question 16

SAQ For Nonathletic Populations

Answer 16

The increased NM, biomechanical, and physiological demand for such training can aid in weight loss, coordination, movement proficiency, and injury prevention when applied safely and effectively as seen in the OPT model

Question 17

SAQ Adaptations

Answer 17

Rapid adaptation to SAQ training is critical in the development, maintenance, and improvement of the NM, physiologic, and biomechanical proficiency from childhood to senior

Question 18

SAQ Training for Youth

Answer 18

For children to continue developing in an effective manner they must learn through external measures how to adapt and apply appropriate movement patterns
-SAQ training has been found to decrease the likelihood of injury, increase likehood of exercise adherence and participation, and improve physical fitness

Question 19

SAQ Drills for Youth

Answer 19

Red light, green light

follow the snake

Question 20

SAQ Training for Weight-Loss

Answer 20

Weight loss clients benefit from the increase exercised intensity and variety of movements offered
-Also more fun, engaging, and exciting leading to exercise adherence

Question 21

Primary Focus of SAQ Training for Weight-Loss

Answer 21

Keep HR appropriately elevated to increase fat oxidation and caloric expenditure

Question 22

SAQ Training for Seniors

Answer 22

Prevents age related decreases in bone density, coordinative ability, and muscular power

Question 23

SAQ and Ostopenia

Answer 23

Found to be effective in slowing and potentially reversing in ostopenia in older adults

Question 24

Ostopenia

Answer 24

Loss in bone density

Question 25

Movement Confidence and Proficiency

Answer 25

Essential in older adults to aid in the prevention of falls and maintain activities of daily life

Question 26

Sarcopenia

Answer 26

Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass

Question 27

SAQ Training and Sarcopenia

Answer 27

Along with resistance training, has been found to slow or reverse the process of

Question 28

SAQ Training Focus for Seniors

Answer 28

Drills should focus around the activities the individuals will need for daily life, such as standing-up, walking up stairs, and navigating ground obstacles

Question 29

SAQ Drills for Seniors

Answer 29

• Varied size cone/hurdle step overs

- stand up to figure 8
