Alarm Reaction
The initial reaction to a stressor. Activates a number of physiological and psychological protective processes within the body. During initial sessions of resistance training programs, body is forced to try and adapt to increased amounts of force on bones, joints, muscles, connective tissues, and nervous system.
Delayed onset muscle soreness
Pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity.
Resistance Development
Body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor. Human movement system will increase its capabilities to efficiently recruit muscle fibers and distribute oxygen and blood to proper areas of the body. Once adaptation has occurred, body will require increased stress or overload to produce a new response and a higher level of fitness.

Integrated Performance Paradigm
To move with precision, forces must be loaded (eccentrically), stabilized (isometrically), and then unloaded or accelerated (concentrically).
Rate of Force Production
Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.
Plyometric (Reactive Training)
Exercises that generate quick, powerful movements involving an explosive concentric muscle action precede by an eccentric muscles action.
Eccentric (Loading Phase)
Increases muscle spindle activity by prestretching the muscle before activation.
Muscle stores potential energy (rubber band).
Amoritization (transition) Phase

Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
Foot/ ankle complex
The foot and ankle should be pointing straight ahead in a dorsiflexed position when it hits the ground
Excessive flattening or external rotation of the foot will create abnormal stress throughout the rest of the kinetic chain and decrease overall performance.
Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
Knee complex
The knees must remain straight ahead.
If the athlete demonstrates excessive adduction and internal rotation of the femur during the stance phase, it decreases force production and leads to overuse injuries.
Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
LPHC
The body should have a slight lean during acceleration.
During maximal velocity, the LPHC should be fairly neutral, without excessive extension or flexion, unless to reach for an object.
Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
Head
The head should remain in line with the LPHC, and the LPHC should be in line with the legs.
The head and neck should not compensate and move into extension, unless necessary to track an object, as this can affect the position of the LPHC (pelvo-occular reflex).

Mediastinum
Space in the chest between lungs that contains all internal organs of the chest except lungs. Adult heart size of fist weighs 300g
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Specialized area of cardiac tissue located in the right atrium of the heart which initiates electrical impulses that determine the pacemaker for the heart. Electrical signals are transmitted from the SA, through both atria and down into ventricles. Referred to as the pacemaker for the heart.
Atrioventicular (AV) Node
Small mass of specialized cardiac muscle fibers, located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart, that receives heartbeat impulses from the sinoatrical node and directs them to the walls of the ventricles. AV node delays electrical impulse from SA before allowing it to move on to ventricles. Directs impulses to walls of ventricles.
Atria
Superior(upper) chamber of the heart that receives blood from veins and forces it into ventricles. On either side of heart. Gather blood returning to heart. Right atrium gathers deoxygenated blood, left atrium gathers oxygenated blood from lungs.
Ventricles
Inferior(lower) chamber of the heart receives blood from its corresponding atrium and forces blood into arteries. Larger than atria. Right ventricle has thin walls and pumps under low pressure. Left ventricle has thicker walls and pumps under high pressure b/c it pumps blood out to the rest of the body. Right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from right atrium, left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from left atrium.
Stroke Volume
Amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction. Difference between ventricular end-diastolic volume(EDV) and end-systolic volume(ESV). EDV is filled volume of ventricle before contraction, ESV is residual volume of blood remaining in ventricle after contraction. Typical EDV 120mL and ESV 50mL. Difference, 70mL represents SV. D comes before S EDV is BEFORE contraction, and ESV come AFTER contraction.
Cardiac output (Q)
Heart rate x stroke volume, overall performance of heart.
Arteries
Blood vessels that transport blood away from heart.
Capillaries
Smallest blood vessels, site of exchange of chemicals and water between blood and tissue.
Veins
Vessels that transport blood from capillaries toward the heart.
Arterioles
small terminal branches of an artery which end in capillaries.
Venules
Very small veins that connect capillaries to the larger veins.
Respiratory Pump
Respiratory Pump – Bones and soft tissue that work together to allow proper respiratory mechanics to occur and help pump blood back to heart during inspiration.
Structures of the Respiratory Pump- Bones
Sternum
Ribs
Vertebrae
Structures of the Respiratory Pump- Muscles- inpiration
Diaphragm
External intercostals
Scalenes
Sternocleidomastoid
Pectoralis minor
Structures of the Respiratory Pump- muscles- expiration

Diffusion
process of getting oxygen from environment to tissues of the body
Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2max) –
Highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion. Best measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. Anywhere from 11 to 23 METs.

Resting oxygen consumption (VO2) is approximately 3.5 mL of oxygen per KG of bodyweight per minute, typically named 1 metabolic equivalent or 1 MET.
Length-Tension Relationship
Resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.
Force velocity curve
relationship of muscle’s ability to produce tension at differing shortening velocities. As velocity of concentric muscle action increases, its ability to produce force decreases.
Force couple
Muscle groups moving together to produce movement around a joint.
Rotary Motion
Movement of bones around the joints.

Zone two – HRmax X .76 to .85
Zone three – HRmax X .86 to .95
Relative Flexibility
The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns
Muscle imbalances
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
Reciprocal Inhibition
simultaneous relaxation of one muscle and the contraction of its antagonist to allow movement to take place
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Concept of muscle inhibition, caused by tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist. Example tight psoas(hip flexor) would decrease neural drive of the gluteus maximus (hip extensor). Altered reciprocal inhibition alters force-couple relationships, produces synergistic dominance, and leads to the development of faulty movement patterns, poor neuromuscular control, and arthrokinetic (joint) dysfunction.
Synergistic Dominance
Neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover. Example if psoas(hip flexor) is tight, leads to reciprocal inhibition of gluteus maximus, which in turn results in increased force output of synergists for hip extension (hamstring complex, adductor magnus) to compensate for weakened glutes. The result of synergistic dominance is faulty movement patterns, leading to arthrokinetic dysfunction and eventual injury(such as hamstring strains).
Arthrokinematic dysfunction
Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint. Altered joint motion can be caused by altered length-tension relationships and force-couple relationships, which affect joint and cause poor movement efficiency.
Autogenic Inhibition
Process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles.
Integrated Cardiorespiratory Training
Cardiorespiratory training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiological, physical, and performance adaptations by placing stress on the cardiorespiratory system.

Mediastinum
Space in the chest between lungs that contains all internal organs of the chest except lungs. Adult heart size of fist weighs 300g
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Specialized area of cardiac tissue located in the right atrium of the heart which initiates electrical impulses that determine the pacemaker for the heart. Electrical signals are transmitted from the SA, through both atria and down into ventricles. Referred to as the pacemaker for the heart.
Atrioventicular (AV) Node
Small mass of specialized cardiac muscle fibers, located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart, that receives heartbeat impulses from the sinoatrical node and directs them to the walls of the ventricles. AV node delays electrical impulse from SA before allowing it to move on to ventricles. Directs impulses to walls of ventricles.
Atria
Superior(upper) chamber of the heart that receives blood from veins and forces it into ventricles. On either side of heart. Gather blood returning to heart. Right atrium gathers deoxygenated blood, left atrium gathers oxygenated blood from lungs.
Ventricles
Inferior(lower) chamber of the heart receives blood from its corresponding atrium and forces blood into arteries. Larger than atria. Right ventricle has thin walls and pumps under low pressure. Left ventricle has thicker walls and pumps under high pressure b/c it pumps blood out to the rest of the body. Right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from right atrium, left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from left atrium.
Stroke Volume
Amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction. Difference between ventricular end-diastolic volume(EDV) and end-systolic volume(ESV). EDV is filled volume of ventricle before contraction, ESV is residual volume of blood remaining in ventricle after contraction. Typical EDV 120mL and ESV 50mL. Difference, 70mL represents SV. D comes before S EDV is BEFORE contraction, and ESV come AFTER contraction.
Cardiac output (Q)
Heart rate x stroke volume, overall performance of heart.
Arteries
Blood vessels that transport blood away from heart.
Capillaries
Smallest blood vessels, site of exchange of chemicals and water between blood and tissue.
Veins
Vessels that transport blood from capillaries toward the heart.
Arterioles
small terminal branches of an artery which end in capillaries.
Venules
Very small veins that connect capillaries to the larger veins.
Respiratory Pump
Respiratory Pump – Bones and soft tissue that work together to allow proper respiratory mechanics to occur and help pump blood back to heart during inspiration.
Structures of the Respiratory Pump- Bones
Sternum
Ribs
Vertebrae
Structures of the Respiratory Pump- Muscles- inpiration
Diaphragm
External intercostals
Scalenes
Sternocleidomastoid
Pectoralis minor
Structures of the Respiratory Pump- muscles- expiration
Internal intercostals
abdominals
Diffusion
process of getting oxygen from environment to tissues of the body
Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2max) –
Highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion. Best measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. Anywhere from 11 to 23 METs.

Resting oxygen consumption (VO2) is approximately 3.5 mL of oxygen per KG of bodyweight per minute, typically named 1 metabolic equivalent or 1 MET.
Integrated Performance Paradigm
To move with precision, forces must be loaded (eccentrically), stabilized (isometrically), and then unloaded or accelerated (concentrically).
Rate of Force Production
Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.
Plyometric (Reactive Training)
Exercises that generate quick, powerful movements involving an explosive concentric muscle action precede by an eccentric muscles action.
Eccentric (Loading Phase)
Increases muscle spindle activity by prestretching the muscle before activation.
Muscle stores potential energy (rubber band).
Amoritization (transition) Phase
Dynamic stabilization -time between end of eccentric muscle action and initiation of concentric contraction.
Prolonged amortization phase results in less than optimal neuromuscular efficiency from a loss of elastic potential energy.
Rapid switch from eccentric loading to concentric contraction leads to a more powerful response.
Concentric (Unloading) Phase
Involves force production
Results in enhanced muscular performance.
Proper Landing Mechanics
1. Keep the feet pointing straight ahead
2. Knees track in line with toes in semi-flexed position
3.Sit back both prior to jumping and upon landing
4.Land in dorsiflexed position just behind ball of foot.
Plyometric Stabilization Exercises
Involve little joint motion.
Designed to establish optimal landing mechanics, postural alignment, and reactive neuromuscular efficiency(coordination during dynamic movement). When individual lands they should hold the landing position for 3 to 5 seconds.

Squat jump w/ stabilization
Box jump-up w/ stabilization
Box jump down w/ stabilization
MP jump with stabilization

0-2 exercises, 1-3 sets, 5-8 reps, controlled tempo, 0-90s rest

*plyo exercises may not be appropriate for this phase if he does not possess the appropriate amount of total body strength, core strength, and balance capabilities.
Plyometric Strength Exercises
Exercises involve more dynamic eccentric and concentric movement through a full range of motion. Specificity, speed, and neural demand may also be progressed at this level. Exercises are intended to improve dynamic joint stabilization, eccentric strength, rate of force production, and neuromuscular efficiency of the entire human movement system. Performed in repetitive fashion(spending relatively short time on the ground before repeating the drill).

Squat Jump
Tuck Jump
Butt kick
Power step-up

0-4 ex, 2-3 sets, 8-10 reps, medium (repeating) temp, 0-60s rest

*may not be necessary for goal of certain phases in this level (hypertrophy and maximal strength)
Plyometric Power Exercises
Exercises involve entire muscle action spectrum and contraction-velocity spectrum used during integrated, functional movements. Designed to further improve the rate of force production, eccentric strength, reactive strength, reactive joint stabilization, dynamic neuromuscular efficiency, and optimal force production. Performed as fast and explosively as possible.
Ice Skaters (skater jumps)
SL power step up
Proprioceptive plyometrics

0-2 ex, 2-3 sets, 8-12 reps, afap tempo, 0-60s rest
*b/c one is performing plyo power exercises in the resistance training program of this phase, seperate plyo exercises may not be necessary
Speed
The ability to move the body in one intended direction as fast as possible.
Stride Rate
The number of strides taken in a given amount of time(or distance).
Stride Length
Distance covered in one stride, during running.
Frontside Mechanics
Proper alignment of lead leg and pelvis during sprinting, which includes ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion, and neutral pelvis
Backside Mechanics
Proper alignment of rear leg and pelvis during sprinting, which includes ankle plantarflexion, knee extension, hip extension, and neutral pelvis
Agility
Ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture
Quickness
The ability to react and change body position with maximal rate of force production, in all planes of motion and from all body positions, during functional activities.
Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
Foot/ ankle complex
The foot and ankle should be pointing straight ahead in a dorsiflexed position when it hits the ground
Excessive flattening or external rotation of the foot will create abnormal stress throughout the rest of the kinetic chain and decrease overall performance.
Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
Knee complex
The knees must remain straight ahead.
If the athlete demonstrates excessive adduction and internal rotation of the femur during the stance phase, it decreases force production and leads to overuse injuries.
Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
LPHC
The body should have a slight lean during acceleration.
During maximal velocity, the LPHC should be fairly neutral, without excessive extension or flexion, unless to reach for an object.
Kinetic chain checkpoints during running movement
Head
The head should remain in line with the LPHC, and the LPHC should be in line with the legs.
The head and neck should not compensate and move into extension, unless necessary to track an object, as this can affect the position of the LPHC (pelvo-occular reflex).
