____ is the range of motion possible about a given joint or series of joints.
|
Flexibility
|
|
___ is the mobilization, freedom to move, or the range of motion (ROM) available in a joint or group of joints.
|
Flexiblity
|
|
Factors that affect flexibility:
-___ -___ -___ -___ -___ |
Bone structure - jt. type
Tissue - fat,skin,scar, muscle Tendon and ligament Age - fibrosis Sex - females more flexible |
|
List 5 factors that affect fexibility.
|
injury, improper training, sedentary lifestyle, excessive body fat, poor posture
|
|
____ refers to the portion of total ROM through which a jt. may be moved passively with no conctraction required.
|
Passive Flexibility
|
|
___ refers to the portion of total ROM through which a joint can be moved by an active muscle contraction.
|
Active Flexibility
|
|
___ is a ROM that is observed at a specific jt. and is isolated to that joint.
|
True Flexibility
|
|
___ is a ROM that is observed at a specific jt. but not isolated to that jt, rather the motion involves movement within other jts in the kinematic chain.
|
Apparent Flexibility
|
|
___ is the muscle that contracts to produce a movement.
|
Agonist
|
|
___ is the muscle being stretched in response to contraction of the agonist muscle.
|
Antagonist
|
|
List reasons for the importance of flexibility.
|
Increased ROM
Improved performance Injury prevention (exercise tightens/shortens muscle so more vulnerable; must protect form soft-tissue injuries) Cool down phase - return muscles to normal length |
|
Static stretching involves:
-slowly stretching to a point of ___ ___ -holding the end position for ____ sec - relaxing and elongating muscle NOte: Static stretching does not involve ____. |
slight discomfort
20-30 sec Stretch reflex |
|
Ballistic Stretching involves:
- ____ in and out of a stretched position - active muscular effort - ___ ____ is not held - triggers ___ ___ - causes large amounts of ___ ___ |
bouncing
end position stretch reflex uncontrollable momentum |
|
Dynamic Stretching involves:
- ___ ____ movements - utilizes ___ of movements but avoids ____ - is ___ movement at end range - develops ___ ___ |
activity specific
utilizes seed avoids bouncing controlled active flexibility |
|
PNF involves:
- both passive and active actions - facilitates ___ ____ |
muscular inhibition
|
|
Muscle Spindles:
- run ___ to muscle fibres - monitor changes in ___ ____ - cause the ___ ____ - sensory neuron in the muscle spindle innervates a ____ neuron in the ___ - there is a greater stretch if muscle spindles are not ____ |
parallel
muscle length stretch reflex motor neuron in the spine activated |
|
Golgi Tendon Organ:
- is a ____ near the _____ junction - sensitive to increase in ____ ____ - causes a muscle to reflexively ____ thus decreasing ____ - invovles ___ ___ (when relaxation in the muscle experiencing increased tension) - also involves ___ ____ (relaxation in the muscle opposing the muscle experiencing increased tension) |
mechanoreceptor near the musculotendinous jxn
muscle tension reflexively relax decreasing tension autogenic inhibition reciprocal inhibition |
|
Stretching ___X/wk shown to ___ flexibility
Stretching ___X/wk shown to ___ flexibilty Must be held for ___ sec for increases in flexibility to occur CPA Guide recommneds ___ days/wk for adults and ___ for older adults |
2X/wk improves
1X/wk maintains 30sec 4-7 adults, daily older adults |
|
SAM stands for ___ ____ ____.
|
Stability Alignment Movement
|
|
In SAM, Stability means:
-specific to a joint and ___ of movement -stablility maintained ___ -proximal and distal to jt should be stable |
direction
throughout |
|
In SAM, Alignment means:
- should ___/____ activity position - ensures proper ___ and ___ |
mimic/mirror
movement and stability |
|
In SAM, Movement means:
- should be slow and ___ - should be isolated to ___ and direction of movement - should not disrupt ___ or ___ |
smooth
joint stability or alignment |
|
Stretching Guidlines:
- general to specific -major to specific jts -progress from static to dynamic -stretch actively through full ROM -aim for a ___% diff b/w active and passive values |
5%
|
|
List 3 reasons for flexibility improvement.
|
increased extensibility of ct
decreased muscular tension increased coordination of body segments (stronger agonist) |
|
List 6 controversial stretches.
|
Hurdler's Stretch
Inverted Hurdler's Deep knee bend Standing toe touch Arch and bridge Standing torso twist |
|
What is the basic principle of yoga?
|
To achieve an increased state of concentration aand awareness.
|
|
List 7 physical benefits of yoga.
|
- increasing and maintaining flexbility of spine
- corrects body posture - tone/rejuvenate nervous system - gentle stretching, twisting, bending makes other jts + muscles flexible - massages glands/organs - improved circulation - release tension |
