the process by which neural impulses that sense tension are
reciprocal inhibition greater than the
impulses that cause muscle contraction, providing an
inhibitory affect to the muscle spindles is called _____
during glycolysis, in the presence of oxygen, pyruvic
acetyl coenzyme A
acid is converted into an important molecule in
metabolism called _____
glycogen _ _ is a form of glucose stored predominantly in the epidermal
cells
glucose what are carbs eventually broken down into in the human body
also known as the karvonen method, is used for
heart rate reserve (HRR) establishing training intensity based on the difference
method
between a clients predicted max heart rate and his or
her resting heart rate
When an athlete increases the intensity of an
anaerobic
activity, energy would be mostly derived from
__________ metabolism
208 - (0.7 x age) maximal heart rate formula
longitudinal transverse plane motion occurs around a axis
joint receptors respond to pressure, acceleration, and deceleration of joints
sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion in
mechanoreceptors
body tissues and are located in muscles, tendons,
ligaments, and joint capsules of the human body
the principle of states that the body will adjust based on the
specificity
precise demands
placed on it
reciprocal inhibition the simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of
its antagonist
scapular retraction _ _ occurs when the shoulder blades move toward the midline
, caused by a tight agonist muscle decreasing the neural
altered reciprocal inhibition
drive to its functional antagonist
8 there are essential amino acids in the body
davies test measures upper extremity agility and stabilization
shark skills test used to assess lower extremity agility and neuromuscular control
left test used to assess agility, acceleration, and deceleration
rockport walk test designed to estimate a cardiovascular starting point
during the overhead squat assessment, theres a low
underactive
back arch. The gluteus maximus is probably
during a single leg squat assessment, the standing
underactive
leg falls inward. The gluteus medius is probably
in the overhead squat assessment, what is an indication
external rotation of the feet
of overactivity in the lateral gastocnemius
during the overhead squat, there is excessive forward
overactive
lean. The hip flexors are probably
working with the arms overhead for long periods of
lats
time can lead to shoulder and neck soreness because of
tight _____
The head protrudes during the pulling assessment. The
overactive
sternocleidomastoid is probably
stabilization enhancing joint stability is a goal of the level
focusing only on endurance a common mistake made in level 1 of the OPT model
or stabilization but not both
neuromuscular efficiency the ability for all the muscles to efficiently work together in all
three planes of motion
3 increasing overall work capacity is a goal of phase
strength increasing motor unit recruitment is the focus of what level
, a balance exercise appropriate for training in phase 2
-single leg box hop up
single leg squat touchdown -single leg squat touchdown
-single leg lift and chop
-single leg balance reach
in _ training, exercises involve more dynamic eccentric and
reactive-strength
concentric movement
through a full range of motion
enhance neuromuscular goal of phase 5 power training
efficiency
refers to the maneuver in which a person attempts to
valsalva maneuverf
exhale forcibly through closed glottis
nonverbal the fitness pro must be adept at communication in a group
setting
at least five days per week frequency of exercise for an obese or overweight client
adding extra work into a common mistake made when exercise adherence is
workouts inconsistent is
static stretches When overactive muscles have been identified, should be
performed
adding a small weight to the while performing a single leg squat touchdown, how can the
reaching arm stretch be increased
When should the fitness pro correct a clients technique of an RDL
-client bends at the knees
client arches low back -client arches low back
-client bends at the waist
-client tucks the chin
contracting written agreement to ensure attendance is met in order to reach
a goal
charting graph of performance and progress comparisons amongst clients
progress feedback assurance and praise on growth and improvements
dissociation focuses on environment over the pain from the exercise
self monitoring client uses cues to keep from overeating during meals
cognitive restructuring self talk to convince ones self to think differently
autonomy-supportive style of coaching that focuses on self improvement instead of
direct competition
motivational empathizing with the client is involved in interviewing?
maintaining the heart rate above 120 beats per minute for
process
15 minutes would be a _____ goal
process goal this type of goal outlines the methods that a person wants to
satisfactorily perform
enjoyment of the exercise the intrinsic approach to exercise primarily focuses on
, sessionn
Resting oxygen consumption is approximately of oxygen per
3.5 mL
kilogram of body
weight per minute, or 1 MET
ATP-PC When an athlete begins an activity, energy is mostly derived from
what system
venules vessels that transport blood from the capillaries toward the heart
respiratory The primary role of the system is to ensure proper cellular
function
