strength - ✔✔the ability of the neuromuscular system to exert force against resistance
synergistic dominance - ✔✔when synergists compensate for a weak or inhibited prime mover in an
attempt to maintain force production and functional movement patterns
altered reciprocal inhibition - ✔✔when a tight muscle causes decreased neural drive to its functional
antagonist
neuromuscular efficiency - ✔✔the ability of the Human Movement System to allow agonists,
antagonists, synergists, and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce force, reduce force, and
dynamically stabilize the entire Human Movement System; this process helps to maintain optimal
length-tension relationships, force-couple relationships, and arthrokinematics
core - ✔✔provides intersegmental stability, deceleration, and force production during athletic activities;
it must function optimally to fully harness the strength and power of the prime movers
flexibility - ✔✔ability of the Human Movement System to have optimum range of motion as well as
neuromuscular control throughout that range of motion.
stretch-shortening cycle - ✔✔an active stretch (eccentric contraction) of a muscle followed by an
immediate shortening (concentric contraction) of that same muscle
definition of integrated training - ✔✔comprehensive approach that attempts to improve all components
necessary for an athlete to perform at the highest level and prevent injury - it does this by focusing on
developing functional strength and neuromuscular efficiency
the focus of traditional strength and conditioning programs - ✔✔absolute or maximum strength gains in
isolated muscles (chiefly prime movers) throughout single planes of motion
functional individuality - ✔✔muscles do have some anatomical individuality, but they lack this
