NASM Stretching & Flexibility
ANS-It creates a mechanically sensitive and responsive communication network by intertwining
the nervous system and muscular system. This is how the Fascial System (FS) model
contributes to functional efficiency within the human movement system (HMS). The fitness
professional can have an impact on a client's ability to participate in a comprehensive fitness
program, making them an allied health participant in the process of reducing fascial dysfunction.
Using the sponge analogy, what kind of human tissue could be compared to a dry, stiff sponge?
- ANS - tissue that is dehydrated, immobile, and inflamed What are the five kinetic chain
checkpoints which must be observed to determine proper alignment of the HMS? -
ANS-Feet/ankles, knees, LPHC, shoulders, head and neck
What happens to bulk water during chronic inflammation? - ANS-It shifts towards a higher
percentage of polluted bulk water zones within the ground substance of fascia.
What happens when a mechanical load is released? ANS: A flood of new fluids enters to
rehydrate the area, remove metabolic waste, and bring in new nutrients. ANS-Invite the
prospect to watch a video you made describing assisted stretching. This is one of the best ways
for a fitness professional to promote their business and the services they offer while also
building a referral network. ANS—Reading body language—is one method by which a fitness
professional can keep an eye on a client's physical limits during a stretching session. What
other body systems may be simultaneously involved if a client has a history of chronic
dysfunction according to the Regional Interdependence (RI) model? - ANS-Neurophysiological
and somatovisceral
What type of tissue can both bound and bulk water be found in? - ANS-Connective tissue
What updated models have been used to create an integrated stretching approach? -
ANS-Biodynamic
An integrated stretching strategy was developed using which modern models? -
ANS-Biomechanical Clients report experiencing which of the following after stretching:
ANS-improvement in stability and balance Which of the following are essential to a well-rounded
fitness program? - ANS-Flexibility and stretching
Which of the following best describes the human movement system (HMS)? - ANS-A
synergistic complex of myofascial, neuromuscular, and articular components.
Which of the following defines fascial nets? - ANS-The network of interconnected chains of
muscle and fascia and their relationship to functional movement patterns.
Which of the following defines fascial nets? - ANS-The tissue that makes up the fascial system
and how it protects muscle and nerves from injury.
The somatovisceral system is defined by which of the following: - ANS- Which of the following
defines the somatovisceral system? - ANS-A part of the sensory system that responds to
changes in internal body systems and organs.
Which of the following describes the Fascial System (FS) model? - ANS-An expansion of the
idea that a complaint is affected by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal regions and
connective tissues.
