16
Q

Hold-relax

A

PNF stretching technique involving isometric contraction of the muscle being stretched to cause autogenic inhibition and subsequent relaxation

17
Q

Hold-relax with agonist contraction

A

PNF stretching technique involving isometric contraction of the muscle being stretched to cause autogenic inhibition, followed by concentric action of the opposing muscle to facilitate reciprocal inhibition

18
Q

Mechanoreceptor

A

Proprioceptors that respond to increases in tension or length

19
Q

Mobility drills

A

Dynamic stretching activities that use general and sport-specific movements to prepare the body for activity

20
Q

Muscle spindles

A

Specialized muscle fibers running parallel to normal extrafusal fibers that activate when a muscle is rapidly stretched

21
Q

Passive stretch

A

A stretching technique where external force such as a partner or machine provides the force for stretching

22
Q

Plasticity

A

The tendency of joint and muscle tissue to return to assume new and greater length after passive stretching

23
Q

Potentiation

A

Sport-specific warmup that focuses on increasing intensity of sporting movements until intensity matches desired practice or competition level

24
Q

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

A

Category of stretching techniques involving a partner and active isometric and concentric muscle action to utilize autogenic and reciprocal inhibition for increase range of motion and stretch effectiveness

25
Q

Raise, activate, mobilize, and potentiate (RAMP)

A

A warm-up routine designed by a coach incorporating sport-specific skills and movements to prepare the athlete for training or competition

26
Q

Range of motion (ROM)

A

The degree of movement that occurs at a joint

27
Q

Reciprocal inhibition

A

Relaxation that occurs in the antagonist muscle to the muscle experiencing tension (i.e. hamstrings relaxing during quad contraction)

28
Q

Specific warm-up

A

Second component of warm-up that Incorporates movements similar to the movements of the athlete’s sport and should include rehearsal of the skills to be performed

29
Q

Static flexibility

A

The range of possible movement around a joint during passive movement - force for stretch is provided by an external source (i.e. partner, machine)

30
Q

Static stretch

A

A slow stretch where the end position is held for 15 to 30 seconds - includes relaxation and concurrent elongation of the stretch muscle

31
Q

Stretch reflex

A

When the muscle spindle stimulates a motor neuron causes a muscle contraction in the extrafusal muscle fibers associated with the muscle spindle
