Chapter 13: Exercise Selection and Technique Flashcards
Mobility
The ability of a joint to move freely through a given range of motion.
Altered Arthrokinematics
Altered movement of joint surfaces.
Synergistic Dominance
When a synergist (helper) muscle takes over a movement pattern when the prime mover fails or is too weak to control the movement.
Progressions
Modifications to acute training variables that increase the challenge of a movement pattern.
Regressions
Modifications to acute training variables that decrease the challenge of a movement pattern.
Nonverbal
Not involving words or speech.
Body Language
Communication of a nonverbal form with gestures or body movement.
Spatial Relations
How objects are located relative to one another in space.
Paralanguage
Components of speech like tone, pitch, facial expressions, cadence, and hesitation noises.
Proxemics
The study of what is communicated by the way a person uses personal space.
Active Listening
Paraphrasing or stating in one’s own words what someone has just said.
Empathetic Listening
The ability to understand how the clients feel and empathize with them.
Articulation
The ability to pronounce distinctly—to enunciate.
Visual Learners
People who learn by seeing information.
Auditory Learners
People who learn by hearing information.
Kinesthetic Learners
People who learn by physical touch.
Cueing
To give a reminder or a direction.
Movement Categories
The six fundamental movements that are the basis for most exercise selections in exercise programming.
Hip Hinge
A forward and backward movement of the upper body while the hips remain at the same height and move back.
Contralateral Loading
Loading the body on the opposite side of the work being executed.
Ipsolateral Loading
Loading the body on the same side as the work being executed.
Locomotion
Movement from one place to another.
Bipedal Locomotion
A form of locomotion in which a person moves from one place to another using the legs.
Isolation Exercises
Single-joint exercises that primarily activate an individual muscle or muscle group.
Activation Exercises
Low-intensity exercises that bring on additional blood flow and activate the nervous control of a muscle. Often used as part of a specific warm-up or as part of corrective exercise programming.
Corrective Exercise
Exercise programming used to improve function through assessing and improving muscle imbalances.
