Muscular Endurance
The definition of Muscular Endurance.
What is a health-related component of fitness that describes the muscle's ability to continue to contract against resistance without fatiguing?
The definition of Muscular Strength.
What is the muscle's ability to exert maximal force on occasion?
The definition of Muscular Power.
The definition of Balance.
What is the ability to keep the body's center of gravity within the base of support when maintaining static position, performing voluntary movements, or reacting to external disturbances?
The definition of Agility.
What is the ability to rapidly and efficiently change the position and direction of the body?
Fat-Free mass, bone mass, & glucose tolerance.
What are things muscular endurance may improve or maintain?
The type of muscle action that results in no change in muscle length and results in maximal force in a single contraction against immovable resistance.
What is isometric muscle action?
Compared to the other components of muscular fitness, muscular power does this.
What is declines at a faster rate than muscular strength or endurance with aging?
What are static, dynamic, reactive, and functional?
This type of skill is characterized by a bowler throwing the ball down the alley, while a batter hitting a 90 mph fastball exemplifies this type of skill.
What is a closed-skill and open-skill respectively?
Principle that states tests chosen should be specific to the muscle group action or movement.
What is the principle of Specificity?
The type of muscle action where force varies due to length and angle changes resulting in a force curve that is unique to each muscle or group.
What is Auxotonic muscle action?
Muscular Power may be the most valuable muscular fitness variable when it comes to predicting these.
What are maintenance of functional independence and improving one's quality of life?
Balance, Agility, Gait, Coordination, and proprioception.
What are the components of neuromotor training?
These are 5 benefits of agility training.
What are improve dynamic balance, prevent falls, maintain functional independence, improve sports performance, and help reduce the risk for injuries?
Baseline fitness levels, basis for individualized programming, & showing progress over time.
What are rationales for testing?
The type of muscle action described by a maximal contraction at a constant velocity and variable but maximal resistance through a full range of motion.
What is Isokinetic muscle action?
These commonly used tests measure the muscular power of the lower body and upper body respectively.
What are the vertical jump and standing long jump for lower body, and the overhead, kneeling, and rotational medicine ball throw for upper body?
This test has moderate to high validity & reliability and consists of a client performing 3 stances on a stable surface and 3 stances on an unstable surface for a total of 2 minutes.
What is the Illinois Agility Test?
Aerobic warm-up, Equipment familiarization, consistent repetition speed, and full range of motion.
What are standardized test conditions?
These are the steps needed to successfully complete a 10-repetition max test.
What are
Perform a warm-up of two sets of 10-12 reps with 50% of the client's maximum - 2 min of rest between sets.
Increase weight by 10% (bench press) or 20% (leg press) each set with 2-3 min rest between sets until client can perform no more than 10 reps with good form.
Determine 10 RM within 4 working sets?
These are four common sources of error when testing muscular fitness.
The client (little practice time, not giving maximal effort)
The equipment (not adjusted to the client or not working properly)
The technician (lack of knowledge or inability to detect client errors)
The environment (room temperature, flooring/surface, noise, too crowded)?
These four tests are indirect (field) measures of dynamic balance.
What are the Functional Reach Test, Timed up-and-go test, Star Excursion balance test, and the Y-Balance test?
Good agility requires these three things.
What are the ability to safely decelerate, reorient, and then reaccelerate as quickly as possible?
