Nasm Cpt Chp 7 - Flexibility Training Concepts

Front 1

The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full ROM of a joint

Back 1

FLEXIBILITY

Front 2

Capability to be elongated or stretched

Back 2

Extensibility

Front 3

Combination of flexibility and the nervous system's ability to control this ROM efficiently

Back 3

Dynamic ROM

Front 4

Optimal control of movement throughout a joint's entire ROM

Back 4

Dynamic ROM

Front 5

Ability of the nervous system to recruit the correct muscles to produce force, reduce force, and dramatically stabilize the body's structure

Back 5

Neuromuscular Efficiency

Front 6

Predictable patterns of muscle imbalances

Back 6

Postural Distortion Patterns

Front 7

HMS seeks the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns

Back 7

Relative Flexibility

Front 8

Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint

Back 8

Muscle Imbalance

Front 9

The simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of it's antagonist to allow movement to take place.

Back 9

Reciprocal Inhibition

Front 10

Caused by a tight muscle decreasing the neural drive to its functional antagonist.

Back 10

Altered Reciprocal Inhibition

Front 11

Neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over function for a weak or inhibited prime mover.

Back 11

Synergistic Dominance

Front 12

Motion of the joints

Back 12

Arthrokinetics

Front 13

Biomechanical and neuromuscular dysfunction leading to altered joint motion

Back 13

Arthrokinetic Dysfunction

Front 14

Prevents muscles from stretching too far or too fast

Back 14

Muscle Spindles

Front 15

____ causes muscle to relax, which prevent muscles from be placed under excessive stress.

Back 15

Golgi Tendons

Front 16

Neural impulses sensing tension are greater than the impulses causing contraction.

Back 16

Autogenic Inhibition

Front 17

Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stress on the body.

Back 17

Pattern Overload

Front 18

Soft tissue models along the lines of stress

Back 18

Davis's Law

Front 19

Name the 3 phases of flexibility training

Back 19

1. Corrective Flexibility

2. Active Flexibility

3. Functional Flexibility

Functional Flexibility

Front 27

____ requeires integrated, multiplanar soft tissue extensibility, with optimal neuromuscular control through full ROM and essentially movement w/o compensation

Back 27

Functional Flexibility

Front 28

Functional flexibility is appropriate at what level of the OPT model

Back 28

Power Level (Phase 5)

Front 29

Reduces trigger point points and inhibit overactive musculature

Self Myofascial Release

Front 30

Lengthen overactive musculature

Back 30

Static Stretching

Front 31

Used to increase the extensibility of soft tissues through reciprocal inhibition

Back 31

Active Stretching

Front 32

Used to increase flexibility with optimal neuromuscular control

Back 32

Dynamic Stretching

Front 33

The process of passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30s

Back 33

Static Stretching

Front 34

The process of using agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a ROM

Back 34

Active Isolated Stretch
