Q

Importance of properly training for stabilization:

A

• Few people have properly developed local
stabilization muscles.
• An efficient core is necessary for maintaining
proper muscle balance throughout the kinetic
chain.
• If the movement system of the core is strong, but
the stabilization system is weak, forces are not
transferred or used properly.

• Improves lower extremity biomechanics when used in addition to plyometric or strength exercises.
• Balance training performed for at least 10 minutes a day, 3 times per week, for 4 weeks appears to
improve both static and dynamic balance ability.
• Training in a multisensory environment will increase demand on the nervous system to activate the
right muscles, at the right time, in the right plane of motion

posture.

43
Q

Quickness

A

ability to react and change body position with maximum rate of force production.

44
Q

General adaptation syndrome

A

how the body responds and adapts to stress; 3 stages:

45
Q

Alarm reaction

A

initial reaction to a stressor, activates protective processes in the body

46
Q

Resistance development

A

body increases functional capacity to adapt to a stressor; once adapted, the increased stress is needed to produce a new response

47
Q

Exhaustion

A

stressor is too much or lasting too long for systems to handle; causes breakdown or injury

48
Q

specific adaptation to imposed demands (SAID) principle

A

the body will specifically adapt to the type of demand placed on it.

49
Q

Mechanical specificity

A

the weight and movements placed on the body

50
Q

Neuromuscular specificity

A

the speed of contractions and exercise selection.

51
Q

Metabolic specificity

A

the energy demand placed on the body.

52
Q

The principle of progressive overload

A

training stimulus must exceed current capabilities to elicit optimal physical, physiological, and performance adaptations.

53
Q

Principle of Variation

A
  1. Vary the amount and type of stress placed on the body to produce adaptation and prevent injury.
  2. Vary the focus of a training program at regularly planned periods of time to produce optimal adaptation
54
Q

Periodization

A

dividing a training program into distinct

periods, training different adaptations in each.

55
Q

Training plan

A

annual, monthly, and weekly
programming; start with high-volume, low-intensity
training (Phase 1) and progress to low-volume, highintensity training (Phases 4 or 5); progress OPT Phase every 4 – 6 weeks in a linear fashion

56
Q

Undulating periodization

A

Changing the OPT Phase or acute variables daily or weekly to train multiple adaptations while still allowing for proper recovery (e.g., High-intensity Power workout Monday, lowintensity Stabilization workout Wednesday while still recovering, moderate-intensity Strength workout Friday).
