Test 3: Analysis of Upper Extremity Exercise

Question 1

Often one of the body’s weakest areas

Answer 1

Upper extremity

Question 2

What are strength & endurance in shoulder area

Answer 2

• Essential for posture
• More efficient skill performance
• Specific conditioning exercises & activities should be intelligently selected

Question 3

Things that we are doing in our society and things that are convenient for us are ruining our posture

Answer 3

Devolution of man

Question 4

Typical weight room exercises concentrate only on:

Answer 4

Anterior shoulder

Question 5

We group muscles together according to their:

Answer 5

Concentric functions

Question 6

What do we need to know when viewing activity?

Answer 6

• Determine which muscles are performing the movement
• Know what type of contraction is occurring
• Know what kind of exercises are appropriate for developing the muscles

Question 7

• Allows the athlete to assume a comfortable and balanced body position which to initiate sport skill

Answer 7

Stance Phase

Question 8

• Used to lengthen the appropriate muscle to that they will be in a position to generate more force and momentum

Answer 8

Preparatory phase

Question 9

• ie. acceleration, action, motion, or contact phase

* Phase where summation of force is generated

Answer 9

Movement phase

Question 10

• Brings about negative acceleration (deceleration)

Answer 10

Follow-through phase

Question 11

• Regain balance and positioning to be ready for next sport demand

Answer 11

Recovery phase

Question 12

Our extremities consist of several bony segments linked by a series of joints

Answer 12

The kinetic chain concept

Question 13

An extremity may be seen as representing an ____________________ if the distal end of the extremity is not fixed to any surface

examples?

Answer 13

open kinetic chain

Bicep curls, leg extensions, lat pull-downs

Question 14

What are the advantages of an open kinetic chain?

Answer 14

You can isolate single joints and single muscles

Question 15

When distal end of extremity is fixed, as in a push-up, dip, squat, or dead lift, extremity represents a ___________________

Examples?

Answer 15

Closed kinetic chain

Push-ups, pull-ups

Question 16

Where does nutrients to the hyaline cartilage happen?

Answer 16

Closed kinetic chain

Question 17

The only way you can stabilize a joint is using

Answer 17

Closed kinetic chain

Question 18

Overload principle:

Answer 18

• Within appropriate parameters, a muscle or muscle group increases in strength in direct proportion to the overload placed on it
• The amount of overload applied varies significantly based on several factors

Question 19

Why is it that when an untrained person beginning a strength program they are able to see gains quickly?

Answer 19

Mostly due to a refinement of neuromuscular function, rather than an actual increase in muscle tissue strength

Question 20

• Intentional variance in a training program at regular intervals
• Done to bring about optimal gains in physical performance
• Designed so that the athlete will be at his/her peak level during the most competitive part of the season

Answer 20

Periodization

Question 21

Ways you can manipulate the overload principle:

Answer 21

• number of sets per exercise
• repetitions per set
• types of exercises
• number of exercises per training session
• rest periods between sets & exercises
• resistance used for a set
• type of muscle contraction
• number of training sessions per day & per week

Question 22

SAID Principle stands for

Answer 22

Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands

Question 23

What is the SAID principle?

Answer 23

The body will gradually, over time, adapt very specifically to the various stresses & overloads to which it is subjected

Question 24

Muscular strength, muscular endurance, & flexibility are not general body characteristics

Answer 24

Specificity

Question 25

One _________ necessarily develop enough muscular strength, endurance, & flexibility through participation in sport activities alone

Answer 25

DOES NOT

Question 26

• Holding breath while bearing down to lift heavy weights or trying to exhale against a closed epiglottis

Answer 26

Valsalva manuever

Question 27

What happens to your blood pressure when you do the Valsalva maneuver?

Answer 27

Spikes your blood pressure then drops it quickly
