A

Neuromuscular efficiency

23
Q

What type of exercise would be suggested to address overactive, shortened hamstrings?

A

Flexibility exercises

24
Q

If your client is working in Phase 1 of the OPT model, what type of flexibility training should they utilize?

A

SMR/static stretching

25
Q

Which physiological systems comprise the human movement system (HMS)?

A

The muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems

26
Q

Which upper-body yoga stretch is considered controversial and may be a risk for injury?

27
Q

What is a safe flexibility modification that you can recommend to a client who has varicose veins?

A

Gentle static stretching

28
Q

What are the recommended training variables for self-myofascial rolling?

A

1 to 3 sets, hold each tender area for 30 seconds

29
Q

Which statement best describes the local mechanical effect that occurs from myofascial rolling?

A

Compression to the local myofascia “relaxes” the tissues by increasing local blood flow and reducing myofascial restrictions and adhesions.

30
Q

What are the recommended training variables for active stretching?

A

1 to 3 sets, hold each stretch for 1 to 2 seconds, and repeat for 5 to 10 repetitions

31
Q

Susan’s quadriceps have been identified as overactive. What type of flexibility training should be used first to help improve this muscle imbalance?

A

SMR and static stretching of the quadriceps

32
Q

Which muscle would you be targeting for SMR if you placed the roller along the front and slightly lateral (outside) part of the upper thigh (just below the pelvis)?

A

Tensor fascia latae

33
Q

What key term would best describe an overactive hip flexor complex decreasing neural drive to the hip extensor complex?

A

Altered reciprocal inhibition

34
Q

Your client Ethan presents with an overactive/shortened quadriceps group, which is causing the hamstrings to be underactive/lengthened. What is this phenomenon called?

A

Altered reciprocal inhibition

35
Q

What term is used for a condition that would make it unsafe for the client to participate in any type of flexibility exercise?

A

Contraindication

36
Q

What are the two physiological responses that can occur from myofascial rolling?

A

Mechanical and neurophysiological response

37
Q

What are common tools used for self-myofascial techniques?

A

Foam rollers, handheld rollers, and massage balls

38
Q

Davis’s law describes what type of changes within the cumulative injury cycle?

A

Adhesions may begin to form structural changes in the soft tissue.

39
Q

Mobility is a combination of which two musculoskeletal components?

A

Flexibility and joint ROM

40
Q

Why is the arching quadriceps stretch considered a controversial lower-body stretch?

A

The stretch provides excessive stress on the kneecap and other tissues in the front knee.

Q

Which answer best represents the timeframe when delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) occurs after strenuous exercise?

A

24 to 72 hours after strenuous exercise

42
Q

What should be the first step in a client’s program after the assessment?

A

Designing the flexibility portion of the program

43
Q

What are the steps in the cumulative injury cycle?

A

Tissue trauma, inflammation, muscle spasm, adhesions, altered neuromuscular control, muscle imbalance

44
Q

What is it called when an individual performs the same task repeatedly over time, which can lead to movement dysfunction?

A

Pattern overload

Q

Which term best describes motion at the joint surface?

A

Arthrokinematics

49
Q

What are the two primary actions of the muscle spindle?

A

Sense the change in muscle length and the speed of length change

50
Q

What are two signs of a muscle being overstretched?

A

Prolonged joint or muscle pain lasting more than 24 hours and swelling in the muscle

51
Q

What is an example of a mechanism that can lead to muscle imbalance?

A

Postural distortions

52
Q

What are the recommended training variables for static stretching?

1 to 3 sets, hold each stretch for 30 seconds

53
Q

Which statement best defines the concept of relative flexibility?
