Mod 7 Human MM Scien
What is the functional unit of the nervous system?
Neuron
What are the acute variables of training?
Repetitions; sets; training intensity; repetition tempo; training volume; rest interval; training frequency; training duration; exercise selection
Stresses a client's limit of stability by training in a multiplanar proprioceptively enriched environment with appropriate progressions and technique
Balance training
The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow full range of motion of a joint
Flexibility
What is the procedure for taking a client's radial pulse?
Touch should be gentle, take when the client is calm, two fingers along the right ride of the arm just above the thumb, take for 60 seconds, average over three days while taking the pulse at the same time each day
The system that acts as the body's communication network, gathers and interprets information, and determines all movement
Nervous system
What is the repetition range for resistance training in Phase 3 of the OPT Model?
6 to 12 reps
Exercises that use quick, powerful movements involving an eccentric contraction immediately followed by an explosive concentric contraction, such as bounding, hopping (single-leg) and jumping (two-leg)
Reactive (plyometric) training
The body's ability to produce, reduce, and stabilizes forces in all three planes of motion
Neuromuscular efficiency
What are the 5 types of objective assessments that can be performed with clients as part of a comprehensive fitness assessment?
Physiological, postural, performance, body composition, & cardiorespiratory
What are the 3 main parts of a neuron?
Cell body, axon, dendrites
What is the repetition range for resistance training in Phase 4 of the OPT Model?
1 to 5 reps
The most important aspect of performance technique with reactive exercises that help avoid excessive stress to the kinetic chain
Landing mechanics
Altered reciprocal inhibition, synergistic dominance, and arthrokinetic dysfunction all lead to what?
Muscle imbalance
What are the four skin fold sites tested when using the Durnin-Womersly formula for body fat assessment?
Biceps, triceps, subscapular, iliac crest
The portion of the nervous system that consists of the brain and the spinal cord
Central nervous system (CNS)
What adaptation is yielded from 3-5 sets of 6-12 repetitions at 75-85% intensity?
Hypertrophy
The ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly, while maintaining proper posture
Agility
What is the recommended frequency for cardiorespiratory training?
General health: daily, for small quantities of time, at moderate intensity --- To improve fitness: 3 - 5 days per week, at high intensity
What are the two common sub-maximal assessments that measure cardiorespiratory capability?
YMCA 3-minute step test and Rockport walk test
The Cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
What are 3 low volume high intensity training adaptations?
Increased rate of force production; increased motor-unit recruitment; increased motor-unit synchronization
The ability to react and change body position with maximum rate for force production, in all planes of motion, from all body positions, during functional activities
Quickness
What are 3 primary goals of a core training program?
Develop neuromuscular efficiency, intervertebral and LPHC stability, and functional strength
What are some examples of performance assessments?
Davies' test; Shark skill test; upper extremity strength assessment; lower extremity strength assessment
