NASM mod 1-2

Question 1

What are the 3 blocks of the OPT model?

Answer 1

1. Stabilization
2. Strength
3. Power

Question 2

Explain 3 reasons why stabilization is important?

Answer 2

1. Stabilization addresses muscular imbalances
2. Stabilization attempts to improve the stabilization of joints and overall posture.
3. Important for neuromuscular function and because most training programs leave this out and lead to injury

Question 3

Name the 2 stabilization training phases:

Answer 3

Phase 1:
-corrective Exercise Training

Phase 2:
-Integrated stabilization training

Question 4

The 3 strength training phases are:

Answer 4

Phase 3: stabilization equivalent training

Phase 4: muscular development training

Phase 6: maximum strength Training

Question 5

Power Training

Answer 5

Power training is designed to target specific training for maximum force production

Question 6

State the 2 phases of the power stage:

Answer 6

Phase 6: Elastic Equivalent Training

Phase 7: Maximal Power Training

Question 7

Note: (phases)

Answer 7

Phases are designed to follow

• biomechanical
• physiological
• functional principles of the kinetic chain

( movement system of the body: kinetic chain)
