Q

Contractile elements also know as

A

myomeres

17
Q

Musculoskeletal biomechanics are under

A

our conscious control

18
Q

spinal cord reflex arcs

A

regulate the tension and length of skeletal muscle contractile elements

19
Q

What are the 3 major spinal cord reflexes?

A

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

20
Q

Stretching triggers the release of what factors?

A

Neuroendocrine

21
Q

What are the (3) methods of stretching?

A

Ballistic
Passive
Facilitated

22
Q

What is Ballistic Stretching?

A

jumping type actions to stretch target muscle groups

resetting muscle length to that attained in previous practice

23
Q

What is Passive Stretching?

A
  • 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)
24
Q

What is Facilitated Stretching?

A
  • 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
25
Q

What is an example of Ballistic Stretching?

A

Vinyassa Flow or Sun Salutations

26
Q

What is Facilitated Stretching also know as?

A

PNF - proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
