When observing sprint mechanics, which joint action should you see occurring in the rear leg if proper form is used? Ankle plantar flexion Hip abduction Knee flexion Ankle dorsiflexion

Ankle plantar flexion

Which is involved in frontside mechanics? Knee extension Lead leg Ankle plantar flexion Rear leg

Lead leg

What is defined as the ability to react and change body position with maximal force production, in all planes of motion, and from all body positions? Agility Speed Quickness Strength

Quickness

To enable weight-loss clients to perform SAQ exercises at a high intensity in a variety of movements, what can fitness professionals create? Steady-state treadmill workouts Long continuous runs Small circuits Heart rate cardio

Small circuits

Why are proper frontside mechanics in sprinting important? - Frontside mechanics align the lead leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help propel the body forward. - Frontside mechanics align the rear leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help propel the body forward. - Triple extension involved in frontside mechanics is essential to keep the pelvis in a neutral position and facilitate force production. - Frontside mechanics are associated with a stronger push phase, including hip-knee extension, gluteal contraction, and backside arm drive.
