NASM CPT EXAM CHAPTER 14 Correct Questions & Answers(Latest Update )

Learning Objectives - ANSWER -summarize the importance of flexibility training for clients with differing health and fitness goals -explain the scientific rationale for flexibility training -apply proper methods for effective stretching exercises in client exercise programs -execute, instruct, and cue self-myofascial technique, active stretching, and dynamic exercises using proper and effective methods Where does flexibility fall in the programming? - ANSWER -this is the first part of the fitness program and can be applied to the program's warm up and cool down. Flexibility - ANSWER defined as the normal extensibility (the ability to stretch) of all soft tissues (contractile and non=contractile) that allow the complete ROM of a joint. Joint ROM is dictated by the type of joint and the extensibility of muscles and surrounding soft tissues. -soft tissue will only achieve extensibility if optimal body control is maintained throughout the entire joint ROM, which if often termed mobility (flexibility and joint ROM, the ability to move freely) Flexibility has a major influence on mobility during dynamic motion. -flexibility requires the extensibility of all soft tissue along with acceptable bodily control. adequate flexibility combined with joint ROM produces proper mobility of the major bodily regions (upper and lower extremities). flexibility requires a comprehensive approach that integrates various techniques to achieve optimal soft tissue extensibility in all planes of motion. various factors influence flexibility like - ANSWER -genetics -myofascial (the body's connective tissue that includes muscles and fascia (connective) tissue elasticity -composition of tendons or skin surrounding the joint -joint structure
