NASM Module 7: Flexibility Training Concepts verified Correct 100%

Flexibility - ANSWER The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow the full range of motion of a joint Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) - ANSWER Stretch muscle statically, contract and stretch muscle statically beyond initial static stretch fascia - ANSWER the connective tissue in and around muscles and tendons Extensibility - ANSWER Capability to be elongated or stretched Dynamic range of motion - ANSWER The combination of flexibility and the nervous system's ability to control this range of motion efficiently Neuromuscular efficiency - ANSWER The ability of the neuromuscular system to allow agonists, antagonists, and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce, reduce, and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all three planes of motion Dynamic functional flexibility - ANSWER Multiplanar soft tissue extensibility with optimal neuromuscular efficiency throughout the full range of motion Postural distortion patterns - ANSWER Predictable patterns of muscle imbalance Relative flexibility - ANSWER The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns Muscle imbalance - ANSWER Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint Altered reciprocal inhibition - ANSWER The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits it's functional antagonist Synergistic dominance - ANSWER The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover Arthrokinematics - ANSWER The motions of joints in the body Arthrokinetic dysfuntion - ANSWER Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint muscle spindles - ANSWER receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that change Golgi tendon organs - ANSWER Receptors sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of that change Autogenic inhibition - ANSWER The process when neural impulses that sense tension is greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles Pattern overload - ANSWER Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stresses on the body Davi's Law - ANSWER States that soft tissue models along the lines of stress Corrective flexibility - ANSWER Designed to improve muscle imbalances and altered joint motion Type of stretching: Self-myofascial release, (static) Examples: Foam roller, static adductor stretch Active flexibili
