TOP 10 VOCAB WORDS Flashcards
Relative Flexibility (Least resistance)
The body’s tendency to take the path of least resistance
Autogenic Inhibition
Autogenic - same
Prolonged golgi tendon stimulation inhibits muscles spindles of the same muscle
“Prolonged golgi tendon organ stimulation inhibits the muscle spindles of the same muscle”
Reciprocal Inhibition
Reciprocal - Antagonist
When an agonist receives a signal to contract an inhibitory signal is sent to its antagonist muscle which lengths
For example, to perform the biceps curl exercise, the biceps brachii (agonist) must contract, while simultaneously, the triceps brachii (antagonist) must relax for the movement to occur.
Synergistic dominance
When a synergist muscle takes over for an agonist muscle that
exhibits a decrease in neural drive
Precontemplation
not thinking about working out (Stage 1 of change)
Glucogenesis
creation of new glucose via non carbohydrate substrates, such as
protein
Extrinsic motivation
reward/recognition
(ex: winning 1st place in a race, cash prize, trophy)
Agonist
Prime move for a lift // primary muscles providing force for a movement.
Ex. Military press (Deltoid; synergist triceps, antagonist lats)
Bench press (chest; synergist triceps, antagonist posterior deltoid)
Squats (quads knee / glutes hip; synergist hamstrings, antagonist psoas.
SA Node
Pacemaker of the heart
Pulmonary Artery
CO2 away from the heart
Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricles to the lungs
Atrium
Holds Blood
High Blood Pressure
140/90 hypertension (systolic / diastolic)
Peripheral Heart Action:
Squats to Push-Ups (upper – lower body exercise).
OPT Model Acute Variables
Rest, Reps, Intensity, Tempo
