Name the structures that make up the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC). Lumbar spine, pelvic girdle, abdomen, and hip joint Dysfunction within the connective tissue of the kinetic chain that is treated by the body as an injury, initiating this repair process. Cumulative injury cycle Name four core-strength exercises. Ball Crunch, Back Extensions, Reverse Crunch, Cable Rotations The type of flexibility training that applies gentle force to an adhesion, altering the elastic muscle fibers from a bundled position to a straighter alignment with the direction of the muscle and/or fascia. Self-myofascial release Exercises in the core-stabilization level are identified through these characteristics. They involve little motion through the spine and pelvis What are four common ways a stressor causes breakdown or injury? Stress fractures, muscle strains, joint pain, emotional fatigue Name four core-stabilization exercises. Marching, Floor Bridge, Floor Prone Cobra, Prone Iso-abs Law stating that soft tissue models along the lines of stress. Davis's law Referred to as a co-contraction of global muscles, such as the rectus abdominis, external obliques, and quadratus lumborum. Bracing It is critical that the core training program is designed to achieve these three functional outcomes in the right order. 1. Intervertebral stability, 2. Lumbo-pelvic stability, 3. Movement efficiency. What are the proper backside mechanics during sprinting? Ankle plantar flexion, knee extension, hip extension, and neutral pelvis What are the proper frontside mechanics during sprinting? Ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion, and neutral pelvis The ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly, while maintaining proper posture.
