specialized equipment
________________ must be designed to protect the player from: high-velocity, low-mass forces occur, for example, when an individual is struck by a ball, puck, bat, or hockey stick; the low-mass and high speed of impact can lead to forces concentrated in a small area, causing focal injuries (i.e., injuries concentrated in a small area, such as contusion). an example of a low-velocity, high-mass forces is an individual falling on the ground or ice, or checked into the side-boards of an ice hockey rink, thereby absorbing the forces over a larger area, and leading to diffuse injuries (i.e. injuries spread over a larger area, such as a concussion)
isokinetic training (fixed speed/ variable resistance)

ballistic stretching
________________- uses repetitive bouncing motions at the end of the available ROM; muscle spindles are repetitively stretched, but because the bouncing motions are of short duration, the Golgi tendon organs do not fire; as such, the muscles resist relaxation; because generated momemtum may carry the body part beyond normal ROM, the muscles being stretched often remain contracted to prevent overstretching, leading to microscopic tears in the musculotendinous unit

static stretching guidelines
____________________ include: 1. stretching is facilitaited by warm body tissues; therefore, a brief warm-up period is recommended; if it is not possible to jog lightly, stretching could be performed after a superficial heat treatment 2. in the designated stretch position, the individual should move to a position in which a sensation of tension is felt 3. there should be no bouncing associated with the stretch; the stretch position should be held for 10 to 30 seconds until a sense of relaxation occurs; the individual should be aware of hte feeling of relaxation or letting go; a stretch should be repeated six to eight times 4. breathing should be performed rhythmically and slowly; the individual should exhale during the actual stretch 5. it is important to avoid being overly aggressive in stretching; increased flexibility may not be noticed for 4 to 6 weeks 6. if an area is particularly resistant to stretching, partner stretching or PNF may be used 7. vigorous stretching should be avoided in the following conditions: after a recent fracture after prolonged immobilization with acute inflammation or infection in or around the joint with a bony block that limits motionwith muscle contractures or when joint adhesions limit motion with acute pain during stretching
specialized equipment
_____________________, when properly used, can protect a participant form accidental or routine injuries associated with a particular sport or physical activity; however, there are limitations to the effectiveness of protective equipment; a natural outcome of wearing protective equipment is to feel more secure; unfortunately, this often leads to more aggressive pla, which can result in injury to the participant or an opponent; in many cases, it is the shared or sole responsibility of the coach to ensure that protective equipments meet minimum standards of protection, are in good condition, clean, properly fitted, used routinely, and used as these were intended
isotonic training (variable speed/fixed resistance)
_______________________- permits exercise of multiple joints simultaneously, allows for both eccentric and concentric contractions, and permits weight-bearing, closed kinetic chain exercises; a disadvantage is that when a load is applied, the muscle can only move that load through the ROM with as much force as the muscle provides at its weakest point
muscular endurance
a direct relationship exists betwteen muscle strength and ____________; as muscle endurance is developed, density in hte capillary beds increases, providing a greater blood supply, and thus a greater oxygen supply, to hte working muscle; increases in muscle endurance may influence strength gains; however, strength development has not been shown to increase muscle endurance 26
muscle spindles
because _____________________ lie parallel to muscle fibers, they stretch with the muscle; when stimulated the spindle sensory fibers discharge and through reflex action in the spinal cord initiate impulses to cause the muscle to *CONTRACT REFLEXIVELY* and, in doing so, inhibit the stretch Lie parallel to muscle fibers Stretch in conjunction with the muscle When stimulated, spindle sensory fibers send impulses to the spinal cord initiating a reflexive muscle contraction (end result - stretch is inhibited) slide 4

Golgi tendon organs
if the stretch continues for an extended time (i.e. over 6 to 8 seconds), the _____________ are stimulated; this stimulus, unlike the stimulus from the muscle spindles, causes a reflex inhibition in the antagonist muscles; this sensory mechanism protects the musculotendinous unit form excessive tensile forces that could damage muscle fibers
