Q

What do instability devices do to force production?

A

it lowers it; you offer more stability when you git rid of force production.

17
Q

What is the most common method for applying resistance?

A

Constant external resistance

18
Q

What exercise has constant weight throughout the full ROM?

A

constant external resistance

19
Q

What exercise allows for the speed of movement to be controlled throughout the range of movement?

A

accommodating resistance

20
Q

What does variable resistance training alter and do?

A

alters the resistance to the muscles to maximize force throughout a full ROM

21
Q

What equipment is added in variable resistance training?

A

chains or resistance bands

22
Q

How do you determine the resistance with chains?

A

structure, density, length, and diameter of a chain

23
Q

Where is the absolute resistance measured for chain supplemented exercise?

A

at the top and bottom, then it is averaged

24
Q

How do chain supplemented exercises help your body?

A

increases neuromuscular activation, aka more rapid stretch shortening cycle

25
Q

What is the equation to determine resistance with bands?

A

Tension = Stiffness x Deformation

26
Q

What is the percentage of difference between the same exact band?

A

3.2 - 5.2 %

27
Q

Where is the highest resistance experienced when using bands?

A

at the top of the position

28
Q

What are the variable resistance training methods mentioned in the book?

A
Chains
Bands
Accommodating resistance
Constant external resistance
Ground based free weights
29
Q

What are the core stability and balance training methods mentioned in the book?

A

Instability devices
Machine weights
Free Weights
Isolation exercises

30
Q

What methods are included in strongman training?

A

tire flipping
log lifting
farmer’s walk

31
Q

What lifts are used to help flip tires?

A

Sumo, Backlift, Shoulders against the tire

32
Q

How do you fix having your feet too close to the tire when starting?

A

move your feet away from the tire and set your back properly; kneeling helps with this

33
Q

How do you fix having your hips rising faster than your shoulders during the initial push?

A

keep your hips low and drive the tire rather than lifting it

34
Q

How do you fix someone using a lifting motion rather than a pushing motion?

A

drive the tire forwards and move with the tire as it’s elevated

35
Q

What is usually injured when tire flipping?

A

Biceps tendon

Back

36
Q

What do you do while log lifting?

A

Clean and press

37
Q

What is the farmer’s walk?

A

hold the weight and walk forward

38
Q

What does the farmer’s walk provide?

A

grip strength endurance
Back endurance
Total body anaerobic endurance

39
Q

How can kettle bell training impact your body in a positive way?

A

CV fitness

Some strength gains

40
Q

What is bilateral deficit?

A

asymmetry in force production between unilateral and bilateral movements

41
Q

What is bilateral facilitation?

A

an increase in voluntary activation of the agonist muscle group during bilateral movements

42
Q

Why would alternative modes be used for exercise?

A

It makes control difficult, increase challenge, and this also can injury due to less control.
