Which of the following flexibility techniques should the client use first? A) Self-myofascial release B) Dynamic stretching C) Static stretching D) Active-isolated stretching - ANSWER A) Self-myofascial release During an overhead squat assessment, a client's knees move inward. Which of the following exercises is the most appropriate to strengthen and activate th...

Flexibility - ANSWER __________ is the ability to move a joint through its complete range of motion. The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow full range of motion (ROM). Extensibility - ANSWER _________ is the capability to be elongated or stretched. Dynamic Range of Motion - ANSWER _________ is the combination of flexibility and the nervous system's ability to control this range of motion efficiently. Benefits of flexibility training - ANSWER - Improve range of motion ...

Learning Objectives - ANSWER -summarize the importance of flexibility training for clients with differing health and fitness goals -explain the scientific rationale for flexibility training -apply proper methods for effective stretching exercises in client exercise programs -execute, instruct, and cue self-myofascial technique, active stretching, and dynamic exercises using proper and effective methods Where does flexibility fall in the programming? - ANSWER -this is the first part of the ...

Flexibility - ANSWER Normal extensibility (ability to stretch) of all soft tissues (contractile and non-contractile) that allow the complete range of motion (ROM) of a joint. functional anatomy - ANSWER collection of parts that mechanically move and work together to perform tasks. Regional Interdependence (RI) model - ANSWER expanded the biomechanical model to include a total-body approach that accounts for regions away from the site of dysfunction. Flexibility - ANSWER having the optim...

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 muscle...
