Flexibility Flashcards
Relative flexibility
The process in which the body six the path of least resistance during functional movement
Mobility
The ability to move freely often described as flexibility plus joint range of motion
Which portion of a clients exercise program should be designed first?
The flexibility portion
Upper kinetic chain
Shoulder elbow wrist and hand
Lower kinetic chain
Hip knee ankle and foot
Osteokinematic
Movement on a limb that is visible
Arthrokinematics
The description of joint surface movement consist of three major types roll ,slide and spine
Synergistic dominance
The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over function for a week or inhibited prime mover
Muscle spindle
Sensory receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle in the rate of the change
Neuromuscular efficiency
The ability of the nervous system to recruit the correct muscles to produce force reduce force and dynamically stabilize the body structure in all planes of motion
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Occurs when an overactive agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist
Autogenic inhibition
Prolonged Glogi Tendon organ stimulation that provides an inhibitory action to muscle spindles located within the same muscle
David’s law
States that soft tissue models along the line of stress
With regard to the cumulative injury psycho current theory supports the idea that repetitive movements such as long periods of poor posture are believed to lead to which of the following?
Tissue trauma and inflammation
What is the term used to describe the pain or discomfort that is often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity?
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
