Test #1 Flashcards
Muscle/Cue

Abdominals
Muscle/Cue

All Glutes & Piriformis
- Start in a seated position, feet flat on the floor, sitting tall with a neutral spine
- Place ankle of one foot on opposite knee
- For support, place one hand on knee, and one hand on ankle
- Gently and slowly hinge at the hips and lean forward, bringing chest toward bent leg
- Hold for 10-30 seconds
- Repeat on other leg
Muscle/Cue

Hip Flexors
- Stand hip width apart, standing tall
- Bring one foot all the way back so you are in a lunge with your back leg straight.
- Press back leg into back pinky toe to deepen stretch
- You can keep hands on waist or raise them above head
- Sink into the stretch
Definition: Valsalva Maneuver
temporarily holding your breath during the repetition
Muscle Glycogen Breakdown: ↑ or ↓

As your body temperature rises, what happens to your blood vessels and the blood they carry?
Your blood vessels open up, allowing blood to flow more easily, and decreases strain on your heart. As the blood temperature rises, it can hold on to less oxygen, releasing it for use by your muscles.
Why would you recommend the elliptical to a client?
- It is a great way to warm up the muscles
- It is low impact
- Mimics a walking or running motion
- Recovering from an injury
Muscle/Cue

Lower Back, Quadratus Lumborum
RT Principles: Specificity
What should training adaptations be specific to?
Acronym
All Velociraptors Rip Mammals Every Meaty Intestines
- Muscle actions involved
- Velocity of movement & rate of force development
- ROM (RT is most effective when reps go through full ROM)
- Muscle groups trained
- Energy Metabolism
- Movement Pattern
- Intensity or Volume of training
Muscles: Upright Bike
Glutes, Hamstrings, & Quads
For overhead chest fly with dumbbells, should you spot their elbows or their forearms?
Forearms
Disadvantages: Rower
- Improper technique will not engage the correct muscles
- Low back pain
- Beginners will overcompensate with upper body
Muscles: Step Mill
Quads, Hams, Calves & Glutes
Benefits of Dynamic stretching?
- Prepares your body for exercise or sport
- Increases blood flow
- Activates central nervous system
- Prevents injury
- Enhance strength, power & ROM
- Increases performance
When would you use a weight belt?
for ground-based, structural exercises that involve lifting maximal or near-maximal loads
Benefits of Static Stretching?
- Improves ROM
- Maintains mobility in joints
Muscle/Cue

Pecs major, biceps, anterior deltoid
*pecs minor if place arms higher
Cuing: Step Mill
- Use foot pedals to get on (some steps start moving right away)
- Holding the handrails, climb up to the top
- Press quickstart
- Raise “steps per minute” to desired level
- Client should not be leaning forward, stand tall
- Try and land flat on feet (toes will work mainly calves)
- Hips should be aligned, not rotating
- Eventually client can let go of hand rails
Definition: RM
most weight lifted for a specified number of repetitions
The client has been participating in an RT program for 1 year @ medium - high intensity, with no power exercises.
Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced?
Intermediate
Definition: Warm-up
an activity that raises the total body temperature, as well as temperature of the muscles, to prepare the body for vigorous exercise
Muscle/Cue
Rhomboids
Benefits of a warm-up? (↑ in body temperature)
↑ in blood flow to muscles
↑ in the sensitivity of nerve receptors
↑ in the disassociation of oxygen from hemoglobin and myoglobin
↑ in the speed of nerve impulse transmissions
Reduction in muscle viscosity (↑ ROM)
Lowering of the energy rates of metabolic chemical reactions
