NASM Stretching and Flexibility Study Guide Exam What key activity by the client would enhance the effects and benefits of their selfstretch program? - CORRECT ANSWER-Self-myofascial techniques applied to shortened/overactive myofasciae. How would a self-stretch recovery or maintenance program be easily modified to become a dynamic stretch program for pre-activity warm-up and preparation? - CORRECT ANSWER-Do the program at a faster pace. When the client's center of gravity line shifts...

___ ___ are alterations in lengths of muscles surrounding a given joint - ANSWER Muscle imbalances ___ ___ _inhibition is muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist inhibiting the antagonist - ANSWER altered reciprocal ____ ____ is when inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover - ANSWER Synergistic dominance

what is flexibility? - ANSWER having the optimal amount of extensibility in the fascia and muscular systems to perform a physical task. With this, a necessary amount of tension in the systems is required to maintain alignment and balance how is the optimal tension in the system maintained? - ANSWER It is maintained by a balance of forces generated by the muscles and fascia, tendons and other connective tissue attachments, and compression forces generated through the skeletal system how doe...

NASM Chapter 6 - Flexibility Training Concepts with Correct Solutions 2024 Muscle imbalance - Answer -alterations of lengths of muscles surrounding a joint Altered reciprocal inhibition - Answer -when a tight psoas decreases the neural drive to the gluteus maximums Autogenic inhibition - Answer -process that stimulates the golgi tendon organ and produces an inhibitory effect on the muscle spiindle Glogi tendon organ - Answer -sensory organ sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate...

NASM PES Chapter 4 Flexibility Training for Performance Enhancement with Correct Solutions 2024 Active Flexibility - Answer -Designed to improve soft tissue extensibility in all planes of motion by employing the neurophysiological principle of reciprocal inhibition. Active flexibility utilizes agonists and synergists to actively move a limb through a range of motion, while the functional antagonists are being stretched. Active flexibility incorporates neuromuscular stretching and active-is...

NASM Chapter 7 Flexibility Training Concepts with Verified Solutions 2024 Flexibility - Answer -The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full range of motion of a joint. Extensibility - Answer -Capability to be elongated or stretched. Dynamic Range of Motion - Answer -The combination of flexibility and the nervous systems ability to control this range of motion efficiently. Neuromuscular Efficiency - Answer -The ability of the neuromuscular system to allow agonists, a...

NASM Personal Fitness Training Correctly Answered 2024 The Golgi tendon organ is an essential component of static stretching because it - Answer -Prevents muscle from being placed under excessive tension Which of the following is the correct force-couple relationship that allows for the upward rotation of the scapula? - Answer -upper trapezius and lower portions of the serratus anterior. Deoxygenated blood is pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs through which of the following vess...

NASM PRACTICE TEST with Correct Solutions 2024 A female client's waist measures 32 inches, and her hips measure 40 inches. In this scenario, her waistto-hip ratio can be calculated as: - Answer -0.80 During glycolysis, in the presence of oxygen, pyruvic acid is converted into an important molecule in metabolism called _____. - Answer -acetyl-CoAA A bending movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments decreases is called _____. - Answer -Flexion A health and fitness ...

NASM Flexibility Training with Correct Solutions 2024 This is used in each area of the flexibility continuum - Answer -SMR 10-15 reps of each exercise - Answer -Dynamic Stretching Active flexibility - Answer -Active-isolated Stretching Hold each stretch for 1-2 seconds for 5-10 reps - Answer -Active-isolated Stretching Utilizes reciprocal inhibition with a 1-2 second hold - Answer -Active-isolated Stretching Roll the entire length of a muscle until a tender spot is found - Answer -SMR Mu...

NASM Flexibility Training with Correct Solutions 2024 Define: Neuromuscular Efficiency - Answer -The ability of the neuromuscular system to allow agonists, antagonists, and stabilizers to work synergisticilly to produce, reduce, and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all three plains of motion Define: Postural Distortion Patterns - Answer -Predictable patterns of muscle imbalances Define: Relative flexibility - Answer -The tendancy of the body to seek the path of least resis...
