100
refers to velocity: Distance covered ÷ Time
What is SPEED?
100
Phase OF PLYOMETRIC TRAINING that increases muscle spindle activity by prestretching the muscle before activation.
What is ECCENTRIC PHASE?
100
The muscle that performs ONLY: Hip Flexion (sagittal)
What is the ILIACUS ?
100
Defined as: The ability to move a joint through its complete range of motion
What is FLEXIBILITY?
100
Daily Double
3 nutrients that Food Labels claim you should consume less than 5% DV.
200
When the body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement.
What is BALANCE?
200
Phase OF PLYOMETRIC TRAINING synonymous with releasing a rubber band after it was stretched
What is CONCENTRIC PHASE?
200
A muscle fiber type that is: Small in diameter Slower to produce maximal tension Fatigue resistant Important for endurance and postural control
What is TYPE I MUSCLE FIBER?
200
Sensory organs found in muscle and lie parallel to the muscle fiber. Sensitive to changes in muscle length.
What are MUSCLE SPINDLES?
200
Type of voluntary muscle contraction used in applying PNF principles with NO MOVEMENT
What is ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION?
300
often referred to as the “SAID Principle”, this principle states that the body will adapt to the type of demand placed on it.
What is the PRINCIPLE OF SPECIFICITY?
300
Within a periodized program, this is one of the 3 major cycles that includes a WEEKLY plan.
What is a MICROCYCLE?
300
The muscle that: Assists Hip Flexion (sagittal) Assists Hip Abduction (frontal) Assists Hip Medial Rotation (transverse) Assists stability of extended ?knee in standing and ambulation Assists Knee Extension (sagittal)
What is the Tensor Fascia Latae ?
300
Stretching technique that focuses on the neural system and fascial system in the body
What is Self-Myofascial Release?
300
An automatic, involuntary response ?to a stretch that help protect muscles and joints from injury because of overstretching (MS) or excessive strain (GTO).
What is STRETCH REFLEX?
400
A form of training in which the individual reacts to the ground surface in order to develop greater velocity and speed of movement.
What is PLYOMETRIC TRAINING?
400
A distinct phase of the plyometrics that requires dynamic stabilization, and is sometimes referred to as the transition phase.
What is AMORTIZATION PHASE?
400
DAILY DOUBLE
LIST THE JOINT ACTIONS THAT OCCUR IN THE PROPER FRONT SIDE MECHANICS OF TRIPLE FLEXION
400
Food that contains all 8 of the essential amino acids in amounts proportional to need (typically from animal foods)
What are COMPLETE PROTEINS?
400
Type of concentric or eccentric voluntary muscle contraction used in applying PNF principles.
What is ISOTONIC contraction?
500
A systematic approach to program design that varies the amount and type of stress placed on the body to produce adaptation and prevent injury.
What is PERIODIZATION?
500
Mathematically described as: Energy intake – Energy output OR Calories consumed – Calories expended
What is ENERGY BALANCE?
500
The muscle that performs: Hip Flexion (sagittal) Spinal Flexion: Lumbar Spine (sagittal) Assists Lateral Flexion ?of the Lumbar Spine (frontal)
What is the PSOAS MAJOR?
500
The sum of 1)Basal Energy Expenditure 2)Physical Activity 3)Thermic Effect of Food
What is Total Energy Expenditure?
500
Type of stretching that: Improves stability of joints Increases strength at a joints limit of range of motion Promotes relaxation (reduces muscle spindle activity)
What is PNF STRETCHING?
