Mentor ✔️Ans - Mentors are people that invest time, energy, and their own
personal experience into someone else's career development.
Action stage ✔️Ans - The client has decided they are ready total their
physical activity to a new level here.
Measurable goals ✔️Ans - These goals are clearly quantifiable by the
trainer and client.
Sagittal Plane ✔️Ans - Divides the body into right and left sides.
Transverse Plane ✔️Ans - Divides the body into superior and inferior
positions.
Kinematics ✔️Ans - Variation in height and horizontal distance
Ipsilateral ✔️Ans - On the same side
Adduction ✔️Ans - Movement toward the midline of the body, usually in
the frontal plane
Plantar Flexion ✔️Ans - Extending the ankle so that the foot moves
posteriorly in the sagittal plane
Ligaments ✔️Ans - Tough fibrous connective tissues that anchor bone to
bone
How many skeletal muscles are in the body? ✔️Ans - more than 600
Range of motion ✔️Ans - The degree of movement within a joint.
, Lever ✔️Ans - A simple machine that has a rigid bar rotating around a point
of rotation in order to multiply the effect of mechanical force or increase the
distance force is applied.
Torque ✔️Ans - The rotational effect of a force
Biomechanics ✔️Ans - The branch of science that applies the mechanics'
principles to living organisms
Passive muscle force ✔️Ans - Passive refers to the fact that this force is
generated not by the muscle itsell but by the application of an outside force to
prestretch the muscle.
