NASM - Flexibility Training Correct Questions & Answers(SCORED A+)
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
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? - ANSWER Altered reciprocal inhibition, synergistic dominance, arthrokinematic dysfunction
Define: Reciprocal inhibition - ANSWER Simultaneous relaxation of one muscle and the
contraction of its antagonist to allow movement to occur.
Give and example of reciprocal inhibition. - ANSWER During a bicep curl the biceps contract and as a result of reciprocal inhibition, the tricep head relaxes (the antagonist)
Define: Altered Reciprocal inhibition - ANSWER The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist.
What does altered reciprocal inhibition lead to? - ANSWER It alters force couple relationships, produces synergistic dominance, and leads to the development of faulty movement patterns
Define: Synergistic dominance - ANSWER Occurs when synergists take over as prime movers due to weak or inhibited prime movers
Define: Arthrokinetic Dysfunction - ANSWER altered forces at the join that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint
When assessing flexibility dysfunction always stretch the (BLANK) muscles? - ANSWER Overactive
