31
Q

Elastic limit

A

point at which tissue is stretched beyond the point where it can return to normal length after force is removed

32
Q

Autogenic inhibition inhibits

A

muscle spindle response - tension in muscle is temporarily inhibited allowing further muscle stretching

Q

reciprocal inhibition coinsides with neural inhibition of the

A

opposing muscle on the other side of the joint to facilitate movement (agonist and antagonist)

34
Q

client holds and resists the force provided by the trainer so that an isometric contraction occurs - 6 seconds - AUTOGENIC INHIBITION
