- traditional exercise
- impossible to know
c
Which statements are true?
a. functional movement can mean more than doing random everyday activities or chores
b. functional movement has more to do with movement quantity than movement quality
a
Which statements are true?
a. the deep proximal muscles are designed to be strong

neither are true
Which statements are true?
a. proper movement is possible when the correct muscles activate at the right time

both are true
Which of the following illustrates effective proximal stability and distal movement, respectively?
a. canoe; cannon ball
b. cannon ball; canoe
c. boxer’s torso; arm
d. arm; boxer’s torso
c; assuming the boxer’s torso is stable
Which statements are true?
a. flexibility is more about passive ROM, while mobility is more about active ROM
b. flexibility depends on proper stability and motor control
a
Which statements are true?
a. people are all different; this makes it futile to define proper movement patterns for the entire population
b. stability and strength are on the same continuum; both involve generating muscle tension; however, they serve different functional purposes
b
