Muscle imbalances alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
Obesity The condition of being considerably overweight, and refers to a
person with a body mass index of 30 or greater, or who is at
least 30 pounds over his or her recommended weight
What is the BMI of a typical 30 or greater
obese individual?
Refers to a person with a overweight
body mass index of 2529.9
or who is between 25-30
pounds over the
recommended weight
These are also known as blood lipids
cholesterol and
triglycerides and are carried
in the bloodstream by
protein molecules known as
HDL and LDL
, diabetes mellitus
chronic metabolic disorder
caused by insulin deficiency,
which impairs carbohydrate
usage and enhances usage
of fats and proteins
a state of lost physical fitness, deconditioned
which may include muscle
imbalances, decreased
flexibility, and a lack of core
and joint stability
the cumulative sensory input proprioception
to the central nervous system
from all mechanoreceptors
that sense body positions
and limb movement
an unstable physical situation proprioceptively enriched movement
in which exercises are
performed that cause the
body to use its internal
balance and stabilization
mechanisms (Examples
include using stability balls
and singleleg squats versus
traditional)
smaller divisions of training phases of training
progressions that fall within
the three building blocks of
training
,a muscle's ability to contract muscular endurance
for an extended period
neuromuscular efficiency
the ability of the
neuromuscular system to
enable all muscles to
efficiently work together in
all planes of motion
What is the first phase of stabilization training
training that should be
completed before anything
else to prevent injury and/or
tension at the joints?
the muscle that acts as the prime mover
initial and main source of
motive power
set of two exercises that are superset
performed back-toback
without any rest time
between them
What type of training Hypertrophy training
should done by individuals
with a goal of maximal
muscle growth?
ability of muscles to exert rate of force production
maximal force output in a
minimal amount of time
the combination and human movement systems
interrelation of the
nervous, muscular, and
skeletal systems
, a conglomeration of billions nervous system
of cells specifically designed
to provide a communication
network within the human
body
sensory function
the ability of the nervous
system to sense changes in
either the internal or
external environment
the ability of the nervous integrative function
system to analyze and
interpret sensory information
to allow proper decision
making, which produces the
appropriate response
the neuromuscular motor function
response to the sensory
information
the functional unit of the neuron
nervous system
These neurons transmit sensory neurons
nerve impulses from effector
sites via receptors to the
brain and spinal cord --
respond to touch, sound,
light and other stimuli
transmit nerve impulses from interneurons
one neuron to another
