Q

Neuromuscular control

A

unconscious, trained response of a muscle

  • can be limited range of motion is there’s been a loss of flexibility
  • or muscles/joints can function well because muscles are flexible

Q

Self-Myofascial Release (SMR)

A
  • Using the body to apply pressure to tender “knots” (adhesions) for 30 seconds to relax muscles.
  • Often accomplished through foam rolling

Q

Active Stretching

A

An agonist muscle (the prime mover) moves a limb through a full range of motion, which allows that muscle to stretch

11
Q

Dynamic stretching

A

movements that happen at higher speeds and in more than one plane, and allow for a full range of motion for the muscle that is being stretched

  • example: walking lunges with a medicine ball rotation
  • reserved for advanced classes/exercisers.

Q

Importance of the Core

A
  • All movement begins with the core
  • stabilizes the spine, pelvis & hips
  • absorbs & transfers forces to & from upper & lower extremities

—see page 63 for stabilization & movement muscles

Q

Plyometric Training

A
  • uses quick, powerful movements which involve eccentric muscle contractions. A movement with an explosive concentric contractions follows directly after.
  • helps body learn to respond realistically to changes while doing functional activities.

Q

Sensorimotor Integration

A

Nervous System’s ability to gather and interpret information to gather & interpret info to anticipate and carry out the proper motor response.

23
Q

Integrated Performance Paradigm

A

The stretch-shortening cycle

- a cycle of eccentric loading of the muscle, isometric muscle contraction, & concentric muscle contraction

24
Q

Speed

A

Straight ahead velocity of an individual

25
Agility
ability to maintain center of gravity over a changing base of support while changing direction at various speeds
26
Quickness
Ability to react to a stimulus with an appropriate muscular response without hesitating
27
SAQ Training
involves training in speed, agility, and quickness - helps athletes prepare for the demands of their sport - some people find it helpful for everyday functioning
28
Goals of Cardiorespiratory training
- reduce cardiovascular risk factors (unhealthy body composition), poor blood lipid profile, high blood pressure) - weight management - improve performance in work, life & sports - reduces anxiety
29
Interval Training
training that alternates between intense exertion & periods of rest or lighter exertion
30
Anaerobic Threshold
- also called lactate threshold - the point during high intensity activity when the body can no longer meet the demand for oxygen. At this point, the anaerobic metabolism takes over.
31
Cardiac Training Zones
Zone 1: 65-75% of HRmax (recovery or cardio base) Zone 2: 76-85% of HRmax (near anerobic threshold) Zone3: 86-90% of HRmax (approaches peak exertion, only needed 1x/week)
32
Resting Heart Rate
number of heart contractions occurring in 1 minute while body is at rest
33
4 Adaptations of Resistance Training
- stabilization endurance (postural stablity) - strength (muscles can exert force against resistance) - hypertrophy (increasing muscle size) - power (improves body's ability to react, explode, and jump)
34
Strength
Ability of neuromuscular system to provide internal tension & exert force against external resistance
35
Power
Ability to produce a large amount of force in a short amount of time
36
Principles of Applied Fitness
- General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) - Principle of Specificity - Overload Principle - Periodization
37
General Adaptation Syndrome
Kinetic Chain response & adaptation to demands and stress placed on it
38
Three Stages of General Adaptation Syndrome
1 - Alarm phase: "shock phase;" intial response to imposed demands of exercise (2-3 weeks) 2 - Adaptation phase: "resistance phase;" body adapts to the stimuli given through exercise; structures within the human body change along with physiological function (4-12 weeks) 3 - Exhaustion phase: body can no longer tolerate physiological stresses of exercise; risk of overtraining is likely.
39
Overtraining Syndrome (OTS)
Excessive frequency, volume, or intensity of training (exercise). -can cause recurring illness, overtraining injuries, sleep loss, moodiness, decreased physical performance.
40
Principal of Specificity
The exercise stimulus placed on the body will determine the expected physiological outcome -each system of the body will respond & adapt to the specific physical demands applied.
41
3 Types of Specificity
1 - Mechanical Specificity: the weights & movements placed on the body (using dumbells to develop biceps) 2 - Neuromuscular Specificity: Specific exercises using different speeds & movement patterns (high speed moves to develop ability to contract muscle fibers quickly) 3 - Metabolic Specificity: energy demand placed on the body (endurance training for a marathon)
42
Overload Principle
To create physiological changes in the body, an exercise stimulus has to be applied at a greater intensity than the system is used to receiving.
43
Periodization
Division of a training program into smaller, progressive changes
44
Acute Variables
``` Parts of an exercise program that determine how each exercise is performed. examples: - what type of exercise to be performed - load -intensity volume (reps x sets) - rest periods - tempo ```
45
Set
a group of consecutive repetitions
46
Repetitions
One complete movement of a single exercise
47
Rest Period
The time taken between sets or exercises to rest and recover
48
Training Volume
- total amount of wok performed without a specific time | - reps x sets = training volume in a training session
49
Load
Amount of weight lifted or resistance used during training
50
Training Intensity
An individual's level of effort compared to his/her maximal effort; -often expressed as a percentage
51
Exercise Tempo
The speed at which an exercise is performed | - see chart pg. 72
52
Load vs. Intensity
- as load increases, volume decreases & rest period increases - as load decreases, volume increases & rest period decreases see chart on page 73
53
Exercise Selection
- choosing exercises that allow for achieving the desired amount of change - should be specific to the outcome of the class
