A

reciprocal inhibition

33
Q

reciprocal inhibition

A

relaxation of musculature on one side of a joint to accommodate a contraction of opposing musculature on the opposite side

34
Q

loss of flexibility with age is attributed to

reduction in sarcomeres which are replaced with lipids and collagen fibers

35
Q

progression of flexibility loss depends on

A

genetics, health status, fitness level, routine physical activity performed

36
Q

females display greater ROM in specific movements compared to males due to anatomical variances including

A

pelvis is broader at the top and narrower at the bottom
greater ROM through elbow extension due to differences in the olecranon provess
