Arteriosclerosis (R-terio-sklo-roe-sis)
the hardening and loss of elasticity of arteries
Atherosclerosis (a·thr·ow·sklr·ow·suhs)
The process by which plaque is formed in the arteries leading to reduce blood flow
Transverse Abdominis main job
Stabilize the trunk, maintain internal abdominal pressure, and support organs inside the trunk
What are the parts of the spine from top to bottom?
Cervical (lordosis), thoracic (kyphosis), Lumbar (lordosis), Sacral (kyphosis), Coccyx
What is autogenic inhibition?
A protective mechanism that reduces a contracting or stretched muscles excitability, preventing it from exerting more force than its bones and tendons can handle. (often seen during static stretching.) think Gogli tendon or inverse “stretch reflex”
Two medical precautions for self myofascial techniques
Joint hypermobility and scoliosis
a client with osteoporosis has been cleared to perform exercise which form of training can have the most impact on increasing clients bone mineral density?
Walking
current sports nutrition guidelines from the international Society of sports nutrition recommend what range of protein for most exercising individuals?
1.4 to 2.0 g/kilograms of bodyweight
Which muscles are typically overactive in association with upper Cross syndrome?
Upper trapezius (+ Leavtor Scapula + pecs major and minor)
Which statement regarding Tabata training is considered accurate?
The total duration of the workout is four minutes long and performed at 170% of VO2 max
what is the RDA for protein?
.8 g/kilogram of bodyweight
which term best describes the ability to contract muscles of the core with force in an effort to flex the trunk during a slow controlled movement?
Core strength
the body can adapt to new demands while becoming stronger and more resilient through which exercise programming approach?
Progressive overload
what is the SAID principle and what does it stand for?
specific adaptation to imposed demands
The human body adapts to specific demands place upon it so if you trained for a particular sport or skill, your body will adapt and get better at that specific skill
what is the Iliopsoas?
A deep muscle group that connects the spine to the lower limbs and is a major hip flexor
what is the rectus abdominis?
Makes up the top layers of your abdominal muscles commonly known as your six pack. it is used for hip flexion at 45° and greater to induce hip flexion accompanied by posterior tilting of the pelvis
why is the multifidus (muh•tif•i•dis) so important?
It’s an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine. (functions together with the transverse abdominous and pelvic floor muscles for spines stability. As the muscles atrophy associated with chronic low back pain.
what are the Rotatores (ro•ta•tories) ?
A set of short muscles located laterally along the vertebra column, attaching between the transverse and spinous processes of thoracic vertebrae. As a result, the rotatores function as stabilizers, extensors and rotators of the spine
calcium is often associated with bone health, but why is it important for muscular function?
It’s stimulates actin and myosin activity
what are the components of ATP?
Adenine (ad•i•neen), ribose, and three phosphate groups
during cable rotation exercise, which position of the help will help to decrease stress to the low back?
Hip extension
which of the following test is used to measure lateral speed and agility?
LEFT - lower extremity functional test
which of the following statement describes the abdominal skin fold location?
A vertical skinfold taken 1 inch lateral to the belly button
which muscle would you be targeting for self myofascial release if you place the roller along the front and slightly lateral outside part of the upper thigh just below the pelvis?
Tensor fascia latae
where is the piriformis and what does it do?
Flat, narrow muscle that runs diagonally from the lower spine to the top of the thighs, through the buttocks. Help take the hip and turn the leg and foot outward, and is involved in almost every movement of the lower body. That sciatic nerve usually runs underneath the piriformis, but in some people can run through the muscl.
which muscles may overactive with Neil during the overhead squat?
Tensor facsia latae and adductor complex
what is the Tensor Facsia Latae and what does it do?
aka the TFL, assessing the movement and stabilization of both the hip and the knee. Works with the gluteus medius gluteus minimus to internally rotated and abduct the hip and with the gluteus maximus via the IT band to abduct the hip.
type of diabetes occurs when specialized cells in the pancreas start producing insulin?
Type one diabetes
what is the recommended frequency for cardio respiratory training, if participating in vigorous intensity, exercise i.e. jogging or running?
at least three times a week
what is the general recommended rest between SAQ reps for beginning clients?
15 to 60 seconds
Speed is the product of what two variables?
Stride rate and stride length
improve performance during a plyometric drum is depended upon which of the following?
rapid amortization phase
which muscles are typically underactive with knee valgus during single leg squat?
Gluteus maximus and medius
what are the three movements performed during the ball combo two exercise?
Row, shorter, external rotation, and shoulder press
which of the following solutions would allow an individual to achieve a greater depth during the lowering phase of the squad of ankle stiffness is the cause
Place a small board under the heels
what muscles work with the obliques well assist a client and completing a standing cable rotation movement?
erector spinae
how far down should a client squat during the barbell exercise?
As far down as can be controlled without compensating
what is the primary muscle target at one performing a bicep curl exercise with a thumb up?
Brachioradialis
