range of motion about the ankle joint in direction of dorsiflexion

Question 8

factors of the Beighton scoring test

Answer 8

past history of injury, occupation, sporting activities

Question 9

warm up

Answer 9

group of exercises performed before an activity, providing the body with a period of adjustment from rest to exercise

Question 10

passive warm up

Answer 10

agent to increase body temperature

Question 11

active warm up

Answer 11

actual bodily movement to increase heart rate and body temperature

Question 12

describe benefits of warming up before exercise

Answer 12

1. release of oxygen from myoglobin
2. increase blood flow to muscles
3. decrease number of injuries
4. increase enzymatic activity necessary for aerobic ATP resynthesis
5. increase speed of nervous impulse

Question 13

what does the duration of warm up depend on

Answer 13

individual needs, clothing, air temperature

Question 14

examples of static stretching

Answer 14

calf stretch, touching toes, quad stretch

Question 15

what does PNF stand for

Answer 15

proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

Question 16

explain why we might cool down

Answer 16

1. minimise risk of rapid drop in heart rate and blood pressure
2. removal of metabolic end products may be faster
3. opportunity to check for tightness, sorenes, possible injury
4. opportunity for muscle stretching to increase flexibility
