Q

Dynamic Balance

A

The ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling.

27
Q

Ground Reaction Force (GRF)

The equal and opposite force that is exerted back onto the body with every step that is taken.

28
Q

Postural Equilibrium

A

The ability to efficiently maintain balance throughout the body segments.

29
Q

Amortization Phase

A

The electromechanical delay a muscle experiences in the transition from eccentric (reducing force and storing energy) to concentric (producing force) muscle action.

30
Q

Integrated Performance Paradigm

A

To move with efficiency, forces must be dampened (eccentrically),stabilized (isometrically), and then accelerated (concentrically).

31
Q

Plyometric (Reactive) Training

A

Exercises that generate quick, powerful movements involving an explosive concentric muscle contraction preceded by an eccentric muscle action.

32
Q

Reactive Training

A

Exercises that use quick, powerful movements involving an eccentric contraction immediately followed by an explosive concentric contraction.
