Q

What is ATP-PC?

fuel & mechanical performance

A

An energy system that provides energy very rapidly, for approximately 10–15 seconds, via anaerobic (doesnt require oxygen) metabolism. For the first 10–15 seconds, as the body transitions from low to high intensity, the ATP-PC system provides the MOST energy. It is meant to be short and high intensity (like a sprint).

Q

What is Glycolysis?

A

working in conjuction w oxidative & ATP/PC, the process of glycolysis turns free blood glucose or stored glycogen into pyruvate and ATP. This system can produce a significantly greater amount of energy than the ATP-PC system, but it is a bit slower to ramp up to its full ATP production capabilities. However, it lasts 30 to 60 seconds of duration, which can be increased by several seconds through the use of high-intensity styles of training

Q

What is the Oxidative system?

A

The most complex of the three energy systems —a process that uses oxygen to convert food substrates into ATP. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation, and it is an aerobic process because it needs oxygen to complete the reactions. There are 3 substrates that are used in the oxidative system: free fatty acids, the pyruvate created during glycolysis, and amino acids that have undergone deamination.

Q

static postural assessment

A

A static postural assessment requires strong visual observation skills that are developed with time and practice, and it requires a systematic approach. Commonly, static postural assessments begin at the feet and travel upwards toward the head. It allows the fitness professional to look for any deviations from optimal alignment of the body in a standing posture. Over time, these deviations can cause muscle imbalances or compromise joint mobility. (green are almost always tight and yellow are almost always weak).

Q

What is SMR?

A

Self-Myofascial Rolling is a corrective flexibility technique that focuses on the neural system and fascial system in the body. By applying gentle force to an adhesion, casually referred to as a knot, the elastic muscle fibers are altered from a bundled position (which causes the adhesion) into a straighter alignment with the direction of the muscle or fascia.

65
Q

Define Static Stretching

A

Static stretching is the process of passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds. It combines low force with longer duration stretch times. This allows the muscle to relax and provides for a better lengthening reaction

66
Q

What is active stretching?

77
Q

What is plyometric training?

A

Plyometric training, also known as jump or reactive training, is a form of exercise that uses explosive movements, such as bounding, jumping, or forceful upper body movements, to develop muscular power. Employing plyometric training develops efficient control and production of ground reaction forces, which can be used to project the body with greater velocity or speed of movement.

78
Q

What are the 3 phases of plyometric training?

A

Eccentric, Amortization, Concentric

79
Q

What is the Eccentric (deceleration) phase of plyo?

A

The first phase which describes the preloading or stretching of the agonist muscle. During the eccentric phase, elastic energy is stored, and muscle spindles are stimulated.

80
Q

What is the Amortization (transition) phase of plyometric training?

A

it is the period of time from which the eccentric phase ends to the time when the concentric muscle contraction begins. This phase is critical because the shorter the amortization phase is, the more effective and powerful the subsequent plyometric movement will be.

81
Q

What is the Concentric (unloading) phase of plyo?

A

uses the stored elastic energy from the eccentric phase to either enhance muscle force production or dissipate the energy as heat. It uses the stored energy in the muscle to deliver an explosive action.

82
Q

What is the General Adaptation Syndrome?

A

Describes the way in which the body responds and adapts to stress.

83
Q

What are the 3 Phases of General Adaptation Syndrome?

A 
Alarm Reaction (DOMS delayed On-set Muscle Soreness)
Resistance Development (adapt)
Exhaustion (can lead to injury)
84
Q

Stabilization (posture & support)
Muscular endurance (prolonged time)
Muscle Hypertrophy (muscle progression) 
Strength (neuro)
Power (greatest possible force)
85

A

The speed at which each repetition is performed.

89
Q

what is rest interval?

A

The time taken to recuperate between sets.

90
Q

What is Training frequency?

A

usually describes the total number of weekly training sessions. Frequency is directly related to duration and intensity of training and can vary depending on the client’s goals, preferences, and time limitation

91
Q

What is Training duration?

A

describes the length of a training session. Specifically, as the intensity of an exercise session increases, the duration session will decrease

92
Q

What is Exercise Selection?

Exercise selection is often influenced by these factors: specificity of training, availability of equipment, training history, dedication to training, and time availability.

93
Q
