NASM - Flexibility Training Exam with complete solutions
Define: Neuromuscular Efficiency - ans 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 - ans Predictable patterns of muscle imbalances Define: Relative flexibility - ans The tendancy of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns ( if the muscles are lengthened, inelastic connective tissue fibers acts as road blocks, preventing the muscle fibers from moving properly. This causes alterations in normal tissue extensibility and causes Relative Flexibility) What are the three causes of Muscle imbalances? - ans Altered reciprocal inhibition, synergistic dominance, arthrokinematic dysfunction Define: Reciprocal inhibition - ans Simultaneous relaxation of one muscle and the contraction of its antagonist to allow movement to occur. Give and example of reciprocal inhibition. - ans During a bicep curl the biceps contract and as a result of reciprocal inhibition, the tricep head relaxes (the antagonist) Define: Altered Reciprocal inhibition - ans The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist.
