Warm Up Flashcards
1
Q
Positive effects of warmup
A
Faster contraction of agonist/ant
Increase RFD and RT
Lowers viscous resistance
2
Q
Structure of warmup
A
Specific to activity
Consist of brief aerobic exercise, then dynamic stretching
Should be planned
3
Q
Raise
A
Increase body temp, lower joint viscosity via low intensity activities that simulate movement patterns
4
Q
Activate and mobilize
A
Actively move through ROM
5
Q
Potentiate
A
Perform sport specific activities that progress in intensity
6
Q
Factors affecting flexibility
A
Joint structure
Muscle and connective tissue
Muscle bulk
Resistance training
7
Q
Causes of flexibility imbalances
A
Postural stress
Repetitive motions
Lack of inner core strength
Trauma
Aging
8
Q
FITT for flexibility
A
Two sessions per week minimum 5 weeks
2-4 reps all major muscles
15-30 seconds
