Question 1

This type of stretch should be performed at controlled speed. Uses force production to take joint through full range of motion

Answer 1

Dynamic stretch

Question 2

What type of stretch used to increase the extensibility of soft tissues through both autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition?

Active
Static
Dynamic

Answer 2

Static Stretching

Question 3

Autogenic Inhibition

Answer 3

causes GTO to overide signal of the muscle spindle

Question 4

Contracting the antagonist will inhibit the muscle being stretched and will enhance the stretch. e.g. contracting hip extensor (glute max) will inhibit the hip flexors (psoas, rectus femoris) to allow a greater stretch. This process is called…

Answer 4

Reciprocal Inhibition

Question 5

When foam rolling, how long should you hold when encountering a tender spot

Answer 5

30 secs

Question 6

When performing a squat, an overactive hip flexor complex can decrease neural drive to the gluteus maximus; what is this an example of?

Answer 6

Altered Reciprocal Inhibition

Question 7

In addition to SMR, which flexibility technique is used for corrective flexibility?

Answer 7

Static stretching

Question 8

Flexibility

Answer 8

the normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow the full range of motion of a joint

Question 9

Synergistic dominance

Answer 9

the act of synergists taking over function for a weak or inhibited prime mover

Question 10

Relative flexibility

Answer 10

the tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns

Question 11

Davis’s Law

Answer 11

Soft tissue is rebuilt with a inelastic collagen matrix which forms in a random way.
