Quiz 1 Flashcards
What is true of Isometric Exercise?
commonly used for injury rehab or reconditioning
Muscular action where tension is developed but there is no contraction
Isometric
What training techniques consists of alternating periods of relatively intense work and active recovery?
Interval Training
Length of the muscle remains constant while tension develops toward a maximum force against an immovable resistance
Isometric
How long should you do a dynamic warm-up?
little as 5 or as long as 20
True or false? Closed-chain strengthening is widely used because these exercises tend to be more functional as most sports activities are weight-bearing.
True
Passively stretching a muscle by placing it in a maximal position of stretch, or its endpoint where there is resistance to stretch.
Static Stretching
In open-kinetic chain exercises, are your feet or hands ion contact with the ground or some other surface?
No
Does stretching improve performance and prevent injury?
Yes
What is power?
Ability to generate force rapidly
When in activity is low enough that the cardiovascular system can supply enough oxygen to continue the activity, then the activity is said to be?
Aerobic
What is an eccentric contraction?
active muscle is being lengthened
What type of stretching involves bouncing movement?
Ballistic
What stretching Tech. is used for increasing flexibility?
PNF
What type of exercises involve fixed velocity resistance?
isokinetic
Is dynamic stretching used in injury rehab?
no
Part of season when conditioning is unstructured, recreation activities.
Off season
What are the four considerations of continuous training?
Frequency, Type, Duration, and intensity
Hops, Bounds, and depth jumps are forms of what?
Plyometric
In a short run, what muscle fibers are you using?
Fast twitch
Type of exercise with different stations and combinations of various trainings
Circuit
What is the primary reason for different strength in males and females?
Females have a higher percentage of body fat
type of exercise that has rapid eccentric followed by rapid concentric to produce explosive motion
plyometric
What is the proportion of muscular strength?
Size of muscle as determined by cross sectional diameter of fibers
Muscle contraction in which the length of the muscle changes as a constant velocity
Isokinetic
