Chapter 16 Flashcards
What are the general guidelines for technique?
- Proper body alignment
- Flat feet and shoulder width, for free standing ground based exercise
- Use the right grip
How should you breath for exercise?
Exhale for concentric and inhale for eccentric
When should the valsalva maneuver be used?
80% of max load
What are benefits for bodyweight training?
- Specific to anthropometrics
- Strengthens several muscle groups
- Develops relative strength
- Improves body control
- Low cost
Axial skeleton and all of the soft tissue?
Midsection “core”
What are the regions of the midsection?
lumbopelvic region
pelvic and shoulder girdles
How does core stability affect the extremities?
better force production
What exercise isolates specific core musculature without contribution of the extremities?
isolation exercises
What type of exercise offers greater activation of the midsection?
ground based free weight activities
What do machine weights offer?
greater stability and isolation of muscle groups
What do free weights cause?
greater activation of stabilizers and combines instability and specificity
What do instability devices do to force production?
it lowers it; you offer more stability when you git rid of force production.
What is the change in force production when instability is the focus?
30% or 70%
Why does the increase in muscle activation lower for output?
Greater instability results in less force
What type of exercise creates a great degree of instability?
Ground based free weight exercises
What do ground based free weight exercises develop?
the kinetic chain and all its links
