Nasm section 6 Flashcards
Training plan
The specific outline created by a fitness professional that details the form of training, length of time, future changes, and specific exercises to be performed.
Acute variables
Important components that specify how each exercise is to be performed; also known as exercise training variables.
Linear periodization
A traditional method of program design that aims to gradually increase the intensity of the training load while simultaneously decreasing volume over a set period of time.
Undulating periodization
A programming scheme, also known as nonlinear periodization, that uses changes in volume, intensity, and exercise selection to provide loading differences on a daily or weekly basis.
Autonomy
Acting in accordance with how one wants to behave.
Fundamental movement patterns
Common and essential movements performed in daily life and are involved in exercise motions within a training session.
Compound (multijoint) movement pattern
An exercise or movement pattern that involves multiple joints and muscle groups.
Kyphotic/Kyphosis
The normal curvature of the thoracic spine region, creating a convex portion of the spine.
Antirotational exercises
Core exercises performed in a manner in which the exerciser resists forces that cause torso rotation; often unilateral in nature.
Asymmetrical resistance loading
Unequal or uneven resistance force. Examples include using different loads for each extremity or performing unilateral exercises.
Kinesthetic awareness
The awareness of the body’s position as itThe awareness of the body’s position as it
Loaded movement training
Adding additional weight or load to dynamic, full-body, multiplanar movements.
Perturbation
An alteration of the body’s current state caused by the application of an external force.
Hyperglycemia
High blood sugar; the state of elevated glucose in the bloodstream.
Hypoglycemia
Low blood sugar; the state of deficient glucose in the bloodstream.
