Module 1: The Scientific Rationale for Integrated Training Flashcards
Muscle Imbalance
Alteration of a muscle length surrounding a joint
Obesity
The condition of being considerably overweight, referring to a person with a body mass greater or who is at least 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height
Overweight
A person with a body mass index of 25 to 29.9, or who is 25 to 30 pounds over the normal weight for their height
Blood Lipids
Cholesterol and triglycerides, carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules known as high-density lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins
Diabetes mellitus
Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency which impairs carb usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins
Deconditioned
A state of lost physical fitness which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability
Proprioception
The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement
Propreoceptively Enriched Environment
An unstable yet controllable physical situation in which exercises are performed that cause the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms
Phases of training
Smaller division of training progressions that fall within the building blocks of training
Muscular endurance
A muscle’s ability to contract for an extended period of time
Neuromuscular efficiency
The ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion
Prime mover
The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power
Superset
Set of two exercises that are performed back to back without any rest time
Rate of Force Production
Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time
