Key Poses Of Yoga

Question 1

Greater mobility =

Answer 1

lesser the stability

Question 2

Synergist muscles aid

Answer 2

movement

Question 3

Antagonist’s muscles oppose

Answer 3

movement

Question 4

Capsuloligamentous

Answer 4

capsule and ligaments surrounding the joints

Question 5

What do capsuloligamentous do?

Answer 5

fasten bones to one another also contribute to determining joint mobility and stability

Question 6

What are the muscular stabilizers?

Answer 6

Muscles that surround the joint

Question 7

___ muscles limit joint mobility

Answer 7

tight

Question 8

___ muscles increase joint mobility

Answer 8

relaxed

Question 9

What does stretching do?

Answer 9

lengthens muscular stabilizers of a specific joint

allow for a greater range of motion of that joint

Question 10

How can muscular stabilizers be safely affected?

Answer 10

By practicing yoga

Question 11

Limitations to perform a given yoga post can result from:

Answer 11

Muscles contractive state
Length and/or tightness of the capsuloligamentous
Bone shape
Or combo from above

Question 12

What does stretching a muscle do?

Answer 12

moves the origin and insertion farther apart

Question 13

How can muscles be stretched?

Answer 13

fixing their skeletal origin in place and moving the insertion or vice versa

Question 14

___ tissues lengthen with consistent practice

Answer 14

Connective Tissues

Question 15

Contractile elements are under the control of the

Answer 15

central nervous system

Question 16

Contractile elements also know as

Answer 16

myomeres

Question 17

Musculoskeletal biomechanics are under

Answer 17

our conscious control

Question 18

spinal cord reflex arcs

Answer 18

regulate the tension and length of skeletal muscle contractile elements

Question 19

What are the 3 major spinal cord reflexes?

Answer 19

1) muscle spindle
2) reciprocal inhibition
3) golgi tendon organ

Question 20

Stretching triggers the release of what factors?

Answer 20

Neuroendocrine

Question 21

What are the (3) methods of stretching?

Answer 21

Ballistic
Passive
Facilitated

Question 22

What is Ballistic Stretching?

Answer 22

jumping type actions to stretch target muscle groups

resetting muscle length to that attained in previous practice

Question 23

What is Passive Stretching?

Answer 23

• involves the use of body weight, gravity, synergist/agonist muscles groups to create a stretch
• body holds for loner positions allow stretch receptors to aclimate
• lengthens the noncontractual elements of the muscle (fascial sheath)

Question 24

What is Facilitated Stretching?

Answer 24

• briefly contracting the muscle targeted for stretch
• action stimulates the golgi tendon organ stretch receptor spinal cord signaling the muscle to relax
• the slack is then taken up by deepening the stretch

Question 25

What is an example of Ballistic Stretching?

Answer 25

Vinyassa Flow or Sun Salutations

Question 26

What is Facilitated Stretching also know as?

Answer 26

PNF - proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
