Chapter 6

Question 1

Local core stabilizers

Answer 1

Muscles attaching directly to vertebrae

Question 2

Global core stabilizers

Answer 2

Muscles attaching from spine to pelvis; movement muscles that help stabilize LPHC with isometric contractions

Question 3

Movement system

Answer 3

Core muscles that attach the spine or pelvis to the extremities

Question 4

Functional strength

Answer 4

Ability of neuromuscular system to produce dynamic eccentric, concentric, and isometric stabilization actions quickly and efficiently during functional movement

Question 5

Core stabilization exercises

Answer 5

Little to no motion through the pelvis and spine; used in stabilization level of OPT model

Question 6

Core strength exercises

Answer 6

More dynamic eccentric and concentric movement of spine; full ROM using drawing in and bracing; used in power level of OPT model

Question 7

Core power exercises

Answer 7

Improve core musculature rate of force production; dynamic force at functionally applicable speeds; used in power level of OPT model
