Q

Optimizing flexibility in relation to the specific activity rather than simply maximizing flexibility is the main aim of training.

A

There are optimal ranges of flexibility for different sports and activities, and injury risk may be increased when an athlete is unable to attain this range. It is also important to note that both inflexibility and hyper flexibility can result in high risks of injury

Q

Ball and socket joints , such as hips and shoulders move in ALL anatomical planes and have the GREATEST ROM of all joints.

A

28
Q

The knee is a modified ___ joint, with movement primarily in the Sagittal plane, it’s ROM is less than ball and socket joint and ellipsodial wrist joint

A

Hinge

29
Q

___ people tend to be more flexible than ___ people.

A

YOung / older

30
Q

Older people undergo ____ in which fibrous connective tissue replaces degenerating muscle fibers. This is likely due to inactivity an tendency to use less of the available ROM during movement

A

Fibrosis

31
Q

A range of body tissues can influence ____

A

Flexibility

32
Q

___ the ability to return to original resting length after a passive stretch

A

Elasticity

33
Q

___ the tendency to assume a new and greater length after a passive stretch

A

Plasticity

34
Q

AN important factor in determining an athlete’s flexibility is ____ tolerance, or the ability to tolerate discomfort of stretching

A

Stretch

35
Q

Individuals with ___ ROM tend to demonstrate a greater level of stretch tolerance and are thus able to tolerate a greater stretch loAD.

A

Greater ROM

36
Q

The control of an athlete’s ROM is ultimately held at the level of the central and peripheral nervous system and less by structural elements. This system includes both afferent and effect mechamsm rustling in both reflexive and conscious activities that ultimately control the ROM and athlete is able to attain.

A

Neural control

37
Q

A comprehensive and proper resistance training program may ___ flexibility and also assist in the development of force capacity thought the enhanced ROM

A

Increase

38
Q

Heavy resistance training with limited ROM during the exercises may decrease the ROM. To prevent the loss of ROM, and athlete should perform exercises that develop both agonist and antagonist muscles.

A

Resistance training

39
Q

A significant increase in muscle bulk may adversely affect ROM by impeding joint movement.

A

Ex) an athlete with large biceps or deltoid a may experience difficulty in stretching the tricep

40
Q

An ___ person tends to be more flexible than an ___ one.

A

Active, inactive

41
Q

It is important to understand that activity level alone does not improve flexibility; stretching exercises or exercises requiring the body to move through a full ROM are essential if joint flexibility is to be maintained or increased

A

Activity level

42
Q

The acute effects of stretching on ROM are transient and are greatest immediately after the stretching sessions, then they decline.

A

For longer lasting effects, a dedicated flexibility program is required.

43
Q

Stretching ___ per week for a minimum of ___ weeks has been shown to significantly improve flexibility.

A

2x per week for 5 weeks

44
Q

For ___ stretching 15-30 seconds is generally recommended

A

Static stretching

45
Q

WHen performing static stretching, athletes should hold the stretch at a position of mild discomfort ( not pain)

A

Intensity of stretching

46
Q

Stretching should be performed following practice/ competition.

A

Post practice should be performed 5-10 minutes after practice. The increased body temp increases the elastic properties of collagen within muscles and tendons which allows for greater stretch magnitude.

47
Q

Stretching should e performed as a separate session.

A

If increased levels of flexibility are required, additional stretching sessions may be needed.

48
Q

Two important proprioceptors should be considered during stretching: _____ and ______

A

MUscle spindles

Golgi tendon organs

49
Q

___ ____ located within intramural muscle fibers that run parallel to extramural muscle fibers, monitor changes in muscle length

A

Muscle spindles

50
Q

stimulation of the muscle spindle and the subsequent activation of the stretch reflex should be avoided during stretching, as it will be limited by the reflexive action .

A

If the spindles are NOT stimulated, the muscle relaxes and allows greater stretch

51
Q

The ___ a mechanoreceptor located near the musculotendinous junction is sensitive to increases in muscular tension. When stimulated, it causes a muscle to reflexively relax

A

GTO

52
Q

Relaxation that occurs in the same muscle that is experiencing increased tension is called _____ ____

A

Autogenic inhibition

53
Q

Tension built up during the active contraction stimulates the GTO, causing a reflexive relaxation of the muscle during the passive stretch.

A

GTO

54
Q

Relaxation that occurs in the muscle opposing the muscle experiencing the increased tension is called ____ ____

A

Reciprocal inhibition

55
Q

A ___ stretch occurs when the person stretchin supplies the force of the stretch.

A

Active

56
Q

A ____ stretch occurs when a partner or a stretching machine provides external force to cause or enhance a stretch.

A

Passive

57
Q

A ___ stretch is slow and constant, with the end position held for 15-30 seconds. Because it’s performed slow, it’s does NOT elicit the stretch reflex of the stretch muscle; therefore the likelihood of injury is less than ballistic stretching.

A

Static

58
Q

A ___ stretch typically involves active muscular effort and uses a bouncing type of movement in which the end position is not held.THis type of stretching is used preexercise warmup but could injure muscles.

A

Ballistic

59
Q

____ stretching usually triggers the stretch reflex that does not allow the involved muscles to relax, which may limit ROM, so the strength and conditioning professional should monitor this during the session.

A

Ballistic

60
Q

A ____ stretch is a type of functionally based stretching exercise that uses sport generic and sport specific movements to prepare the body for activity,. Also referred to as MOBILITY DRILLS

A

Dynamic

61
Q

___ stretching avoids bouncing and s performed in a more controlled manner

A

Dynamic

62
Q

_____ _____ ____ stretching was originally developed as part of a neuromuscular rehab program designed to relax muscles with increased tone or activity/

A

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)

63
Q

___ techniques are usually performed with a partner and involve both passive movement and active muscle contractions.

A

PNF

64
Q

____ stretching can be impractical because most of the stretches require a partner and some expertise.

A

PNF

65
Q

There are 3 types of PNF stretching techniques.

A
  1. Hold-relax
  2. Contract-relax
  3. hold-relax with agonist contraction
66
Q

The hold-relax:

A

Starts with a passive stretch for about 10 seconds. The partner then applies a hip flex ion force and instructs the athlete to “hold and don’t let me move the leg” the athlete resists the movement so isometric muscle action happens 6 seconds. Then the athlete relaxes allowing a greater magnitude

67
Q

The hold-relax with agonist contraction is the most effective PNF stretching technique due to facilitation via both reciprocal and Autogenic inhibition .

A

PNF
