Neuromuscular co-ordination Flashcards
This lesson will enable you to: Explain the concept of neuromuscular efficiency Create exercise programmes to enhance your clients’ levels of neuromuscular efficiency
1
Q
Neuromuscular efficiency, or coordination, is the ability of the nervous system to communicate effectively with the ____________
A
muscular system.
2
Q
Name some benefits of neuromuscular efficiency (5)
A
- reduced injury risk
- increased force production
- enhanced spacial awareness
- enhanced stability
- reduced energy expenditure
3
Q
Placing someone in an unstable environment, such as on a wobble board, increases the amount of what into the nervous system, which helps to optimise neuromuscular efficiency?
A
sensory feedback
4
Q
Functional activities involve multi-joint movements and require not only strength and endurance, but also acceleration, deceleration and stabilisation - how should we train to ensure efficient coordination?
A
train within a number of planes.
