Resistance Training
What is 1-5 reps?
This term describes when someone is insecure about how they think others are viewing their body.
What is social physique anxiety?
Postural alignment and control is a primary goal of this phase of the OPT model.
What is Stabilization (Phase 1)?
The degree to which certain joints or body segments can move; often measured in degrees.
What is range of motion?
Special cells that form and lay down new bone tissue.
What are osteoblasts?
Pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity.
This term describes a person’s state of mixed feelings about a situation.
What is ambivalence?
Core and balance exercises are a component of this part of an OPT workout.
What is activation?
The process in which the body seeks the path of least resistance during functional movements.
What is relative flexibility?
These sensory receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that change.
What are muscle spindles?
Increasing the intensity or volume of exercise programs using a systematic and gradual approach.
What is progressive overload?
A communal space, separate from home or work, where the client experiences their own sense of identity and relationship to others.
What is the third space?
This phase of training would be the best option for someone who is looking to improve their physique in a way similar to that of a bodybuilder.
What is muscular development training?
Autogenic inhibition is a reflex mechanism where a muscle involuntarily relaxes when it experiences excessive tension, caused by the activation of this mechanoreceptor.
What is a Golgi Tendon Organ?
This sensory pathway relays information to the central nervous system.
What is an afferent pathway?
The enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to being recruited to develop increased levels of tension
What is muscular hypertrophy?
Refers to the psychological, social, or environmental factors that influence behavior.
What are determinants of behavior?
This is an appropriate tempo for Phase 1 of the OPT model.
What is 4-2-1-1?
The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over function for a weak or inhibited prime mover (agonist)
What is synergistic dominance?
Scientific explanation of how remodeling (new bone growth) occurs along the lines of stress placed on the bone.
What is Wolff's Law?
This is the recommended frequency of training sessions per week for a beginner.
What is 2-3 sessions/week?
Client-centered, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence.
What is motivational interviewing?
This phase of the OPT model commonly uses supersets, such as bench press followed by push-up.
A physiological process where the contraction of one muscle group automatically causes the relaxation of its opposing muscle group. For example, when doing biceps curls, the biceps contract and the triceps relax.
What is reciprocal inhibition?
This neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic terminal to stimulate muscular contraction.
What is acetylcholine?
