Exam 2 Flashcards
What physiological characteristics are apparent after warmup (what is the goal of warmup)?
- raise heart rate
- raise core temperature
- start to get physiologically prepared
What is a general warmup?
- 5-10 minutes of slow activity such as jogging or skipping (honestly a little long…. maybe more like less than 5)
- EX: running a lap around the field
What is a specific warmup?
- movement similar to the movements of the athletes sport
- working through range of motion
- EX: walking knee lifts, sprint drills, bounds, jumping, all the way to very similar to the workout)
What is RAMP?
R- raise: elevate body temp, blood flow, joint fluid viscosity
A - activate: actively moving through ROM (dynamic stretching
M - mobilize: similar to activate
P - potentiate: sport-specific activities that progress in intensity until athlete is performing intensity required for comp/training session (doing movement that looks like training)
What is reciprocal inhibition?
- accomplished by contracting the muscle opposing the muscle that is being passively stretched
- EX: contracting quad and then stretching hamstring
What is autogenic inhibition?
- is accomplished via active contraction before a passive stretch of the same muscle
- hamstring stretch: pushing foot into shoulder and then pushing backwards
What does both autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition use?
- stimulation of golgi tendon organs
- cause reflexive muscle relaxation
What proprioceptors is behind PNF stretching?
Golgi tendon organ (CHECK IN BOOK)
What are the numbers for PNF?
- Passive stretch for 10 seconds
- Isomextric hold for 6 seconds
- Passive stretch for 30 seconds
What is static stretching?
slow and constant, with the end position held for 15 to 30 seconds
What is ballistic stretching?
typically involves active muscular effort and uses a bouncing-type movement in which the end position is not held
What is dynamic stretching?
a type of functionally based stretching exercise that uses sport-specific movements to prepare the body for activity
What are the different types of grips?
- pronated
- alternated
- supinated
- hook grip
When would a hook grip be used?
With power exercises (EX: clean & snatch)
When would a double overhand (pronated) grip be used?
most lifts ( bench, squat, etc)
When would a supinated grip be used?
- bicep curls
- chin-up
- some rows
