PREFINALS - Flexibility Flashcards
is the ability to move muscles and joints through a full normal range of motion. Flexibility helps performance, posture, promotes efficient movement, prevents incorrect body alignment, maintains appropriate muscle length and balance and also decreases injury risk.
FLEXIBILITY
What are the two types of flexibility
Static and Dynamic Flexibility
Ability to assume and maintain a position at full ROM around one joint. Static-active is unassisted; static-passive is assisted.
STATIC FLEXIBILITY
Ability to perform full ROM in the joints during movement.
DYNAMIC FLEXIBILITY
are exercising that contract and engage the muscles without moving them. This type of exercise engages the muscles without moving the joints, which makes this form of strength training particularly low-impact. As a result, many people can do isometric exercises regardless of their mobility level.
Isometric exercises are best suited for the purposes of improving stability, strength, and endurance.
One example of an isometric exercise is squatting down into a low squat and holding the position for an extended period of time, such as 60 seconds. This type of exercise can help improve your ability to maintain a squat position over a longer period of time and would strengthen your muscles, but it will not increase your ability to do more repetitions of the exercise
ISOMETRIC EXERCISES
Compared to isometric exercises, which strengthen and engage the muscles without moving them, isotonic exercises use movement combined with a constant amount of weight or tension to build strength in your muscles.
When performing isotonic exercises, your muscles contract (shorten) and extend (lengthen) as you move through a full range of motion.
ISOTONIC EXERCISE
The least common type of strength training exercise is isokinetic exercise. Isokinetic exercise involves the use of specialized machinery and is primarily used by athletes to help their bodies move more quickly through a specific range of motion.
Isokinetic exercises can be used by runners, pitchers, shot putters, golfers, and other athletes in order to improve the speed at which their muscles move.
ISOKINETIC EXERCISES
is a physical activity that uses large muscle groups in your body. This type of exercise is usually rhythmic and repetitive. You can adjust the intensity of your workout, which is how hard your body works during this type of exercise.
Aerobic exercises increase your heart rate and how much oxygen your body uses
AEROBIC EXERCISES
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE?
Building stronger bones.
Improving your muscle strength, endurance and flexibility.
Improving your balance.
Increasing your mental function.
Assisting in weight management and/or weight loss.
Increase HDL or “good” cholesterol.
Help to better manage your blood sugar
is any physical activity that makes you sweat causes you to breathe harder and gets your heart beating faster than at rest. Aerobic dance strengthens your heart and lungs and trains your cardiovascular system to manage and deliver oxygen more quickly and efficiently throughout your body. Aerobic dance uses your large muscle groups, is rhythmic in nature and can be maintained continuously for at least 10 minutes
Aerobic dance exercise
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AEROBIC DANCE (4)
Dance aerobic workout strengthens the body including the weight bearing bones and cardiovascular muscles.
It helps your lose weight as well as builds your body muscles. It is also suitable for those who want to tone their muscles.
It is one of the easiest aerobic exercises, which can be enjoyed by people of all age groups, both men and women. However, elderly people should perform the exercise either for short duration or with precautions. It is not recommended for very small children and pregnant women.
The exercise increases blood circulation and lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels
is a form of creative expression through physical movement that includes rhythmic movements that accompany music. Historically, dance has been used in celebrations and religious observances. Dance has played an important role in human societies since ancient times and continues to evolve and develop today.

What are the 3 elements of movement
space, time, and force (energy).
It is the instrument of dance and it is what others see when they look at the dance. It can be used to take internal emotions and different body parts can be used to create shapes and emphasize movement when moving. It can be asymmetrical, symmetrical, moving, not moving, etc.
