REAL EXAM ANSWERED |FALL SESSION
TESTING INSIGHT|ALREADY GRADED A
Why should a client be careful not to hold their breath during a stretch?
It can activate the stretch reflex.
How does stress reduction effect a client's integrated stretching program outcomes?
Stress reduction aids in decreasing fascial net tension, which helps to increase
flexibility.
How can the client create traction during a self-stretching program?
Actively lifting to expand the joint involved in the stretch.
What happens to bulk water during chronic inflammation?
It shifts towards a higher percentage of polluted bulk water zones within the ground
substance of fascia
Which of the following can assist a client in getting started with their self-stretching
program?
Pre-planning with the fitness professional.
What is the goal of the double-leg traction?
To relax the client and ease tension throughout the whole fascial net
, Which of the following explains why there are many varying types of manual and
movement therapies to address fascial dysfunctions?
Fascia is vulnerable to many types of dysfunction because it is widespread and has an
integrative function.
Which hormone is reduced, in tandem with stress levels, when mindfulness-based
stretching and breathing exercises are incorporated during stretching sessions?
Cortisol
Which of the following can disrupt the balance of tension and compression which help
to optimize and maintain movement?
Traumatic injury
Which of the following nets could cause a restriction in shoulder flexion?
Superficial Front Arm
What type of movements are completed during fascial stretching that assist in
stimulating connective tissue remodeling?
Oscillating and traction
Which of the following terms defines the neuromuscular system's capacity to activate
muscle synergies at the correct time with appropriate force to complete functional
tasks with the least amount of stress and energy to the HMS?
Functional efficiency
What type of clothing is best suited for an assisted stretching session?
