ANSWERS.
Functional Training - an approach to training in which the primary goal is to improve the daily
function of clients. For example, people need the ability to go to and from work, do housework, and
enjoy otherwise the activities of daily life, pain free.
performance training, - The goal of improving performance regardless of whether daily function is
improved. For example, a person may train enough to run a marathon in under four hours but have
difficulty washing dishes due to a lack of mobilitý in the lower back.
postural stability - The ability of the body to control its position within a specific base of support
static postural stability - The process needed to keep the angle of the spine straight during the
lowering and raising of the body to and from the floor.
Dynamic postural stability - The process needed to maintain alignment of the actively moving knees
and hips to ensure optimal alignment, therefore increasing effi ciency of movement and reducing the
risk of injury from repetitive stress overload to the involved joints.
Righting reflexes - reactions that are expressed when the body attempts to move or maintain a
position on a stable or fixed surface (such as a gym floor, sidewalk, or artificial surface like dry field).
Equilibrium reflexes - primarily used when the body attempts to move or maintain a position on a
surface that is unsteady or moves underneath the point of contact (typically the feet or hands), such
when riding in an elevator, walking up or down an escalator, or skating across the surface of an ice
rink.
open kinetic chain exercises (OKCE) - An exercise performed with the distal end of the moving limb
moving freely. The moving appendage moves the body about through a specific movement pattern.
Example - Seated Knee Extention
closed kinetic chain exercises ( CKCE ) - An exercise performed with the distal end of the moving limb
fixed in place. The remainder of the body moves about the fixed appendage through a specific
movement pattern. Example - Body weight squats
, biomotor ability - A movement skillset that a person is born with, and can maintain or advance with
little instruction.
biomotor abilities *6 items* - - Agility
- Flexibility
- Coordination
- Balance
- Strength
- Power
- Endurance
- Speed
foundational movement sequences - The basic movements required by the human body to survive.
The ability to perform movements such as pushing, pulling, squatting, lunging, twisting and lifting, as
well as running, climbing, and throwing.
functional movements - The movement patterns in program design that are intended primarily to
improve function in daily activities. Exercise movements that replicate real-life movements.
regression - The practice of making an activity easier by adjusting a program component.
progression - The practice of making an activity more challenging or beneficial by adjusting a
program component.
Walking and running Climbing Throwing -
Passive Movement Sequences *3 items* - - Lying comfortably (unsupported)
- Sitting comfortably (unsupported)
- Standing comfortably support(unsupported)
Lying comfortably (unsupported) - Regression 1 & Regression 2 - Regression 1 - Lying with knees
supported
Regression 2 - Lying with knees, low back and neck supported
