99
Q

A “rotation chest pass” is considered what type of exercise?

A

Core-power

100
Q

True or false: The local stabilization system consists of muscles that are predominantly prime movers of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC).

A

False

Reason: This system is involved the muscles in LPHC

101
Q

True or false: The movement system is predominantly responsible for stabilization and joint support.

A

False

Reason: Prime movers and stabilizers are different

102
Q

True or false: Core stabilization training exercises should focus on absolute strength gains, speed, and power.

A

False

Reason: Stabilization is best achieved with low load, non-movement bracing maneuvers

103
Q

True or false: Core activation techniques used to help create stabilization of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex include the drawing-in maneuver and bracing.

A

True

These maneuvers help train the body to activate the core musculature

104
Q

A single-leg balance reach is what type of exercise?

A

Balance-stabilization

105
Q

A single-leg squat touchdown is what type of exercise?

A

Balance-strength

Q

The ability to reduce force at the right joint, at the right time, and in the right plane of motion requires optimal levels of dynamic balance and

Neuromuscular efficiency

107
Q

Which of the following is a balance-power exercise?

A

Single-leg box hop-up with stabilization

108
Q

True or False: Training in a multisensory environment will increase the demand on the nervous system’s ability to activate the right muscles at the right time in the right plane of motion.

A

True

Varying stimuli improves neuromuscular efficiency

109
Q

True or False: There is limited research and evidence that a balance-training program influence the ability to improve lower extremity biomechanics.

A

False

Reason: Significant research supports balance training for reducing injuries

110
Q

True or false: During a balance-training program, external resistance should be added before an increased proprioceptive demand in any exercise.

A

False

Reason: Increasing proprioceptive demand is more effective and decreases risk of injury

111
Q

True or false: The main goal of balance training is to continually increase your client’s awareness of their balance threshold by creating controlled instability.

A

True

Gradually increasing instability can lead to better awareness of the body and it’s balance

112
Q

True or false: When progressing a client through a balance-training program, the proper progression would be eyes open to eyes closed.

A

True

Closing the eyes increases the instability level

113
Q

True or false: Balance training programs that are performed for at least 10 minutes a day, 3 times per week for 4 weeks, appear to improve both static and dynamic balance ability.

A

True

Studies show that this threshold increases balance ability

114
Q

Which of the following is NOT true regarding plyometric training?

A

Increases resting heart rate

115
Q

Plyometric training is also known as

A

Reactive training

116

3-5 seconds

119
Q

Which of the following is a regression of a box jump-down with stabilization?

A

Box jump-up with stabilization

120
Q

True or False: Plyometric (reactive) training involves exercises that generate quick, powerful movements involving explosive eccentric muscle action preceded by a concentric muscle action.

A

False

Reason: In plyometrics, the muscles are eccentrically loaded then contract concentrically

121
Q

True or False: The integrated performance paradigm states that to move with precision, forces must be loaded (eccentrically), stabilized (isometrically), and then unloaded or accelerated (concentrically).

A

True

The ability to manage forces applied on the body is essential to performance

122
Q

True or False: The first (eccentric) stage of a plyometric movement decreases muscle spindle activity by contracting (shortening) the muscle before activation.

A

False

Reason: Plyometric activity increases tension on muscles by slightly stretching them

123
Q

True or False: The amortization phase involves dynamic stabilization and is the time between the end of the eccentric muscle action and the initiation of the concentric contraction.

A

True: This in-between phase must be minimized to achieve maximal contractile force
