Introduction to Proprioceptive Modalities

Which of the following exercises may increase inaccurate readings while utilizing a wrist-worn heart rate monitor?

Medicine ball catch and pass

Most bodyweight training exercises are considered which type of movements?

Most bodyweight training exercises are closed-chain exercises. This means the distal extremities (hands and feet) are in a fixed position.

When performing high-velocity movements with medicine balls, the ball weight should be no more than what percentage of the user's body weight, according to current recommendations?

10%

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization recommend minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity or xxxx minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week for optimal health.

150 / 75

Stability ball size: ≤5'0" tall

45 cm

Which of the following would be the recommended stability ball size for someone under 5 feet tall?

45 cm

Some research suggests that approximately xx% of those who begin a fitness program will quit within the first 6 months (Henriksen et al., 2018). Wearing a fitness tracker may encourage an increase in physical activities.

When utilizing devices such as a stability ball, BOSU ball, or the Terra-Core, the user is forced to actively engage their core musculature due to their body weight displacing air inside the bladder of the device, causing which of the following?

Perturbation

Moreover, because of the spherical shape of a stability ball,

greater ranges of motion can occur during certain exercises, such as the stability ball crunch versus the traditional floor crunch exercise

How quickly a person's heart rate drops in the first minute after vigorous exercise is a good indicator of

heart health. An abnormally slow return to a resting heart rate is a predictor of poor heart health.

A fundamental component of proprioception is the ability to maintain xxx to help reduce the risk of injury and increase performance measures.

postural control or balance

In addition, unlike stability balls, it is safe to perform...

several resistance training exercises, such as a dumbbell chest press while lying supine on the Terra-Core.

Which of the following modalities is the least likely to increase joint instability?

Proprioceptive modalities, not strength machines, can be an effective strategy for optimizing movement patterns, joint stability, and performance.

Which of the following modalities will provide the most benefits to Phases 1, 4 and 5 of the OPT model?

Sandbags

Stability is best described as which of the following?

Stability is the ability to maintain the control of the body while in motion.

5'1" to 5'7"

55 cm

HRMs measure the amount of times the heart beats in a

1-minute cycle.

Perturbation

An alteration of the body's current state caused by the application of an external force.

When attempting to increase muscular size and strength in the lower body, which of the following exercise is least likely to be beneficial?

BOSU squat; Instability training is good for proprioception and balance, not for muscular hypertrophy.

Which of the following exercises and modalities would require the use of a spotter?

Barbell chest press

Strength-training machines provide training primarily in which planes of motion?

Frontal and sagittal

Proper abdominal crunches on a stability ball allows for:

Increased spinal extension due to the curvature of the ball

When discussing suspended bodyweight training, which of the following is the most accurate statement?

It increases flexibility and joint mobility.

The TRX Rip Trainer should be most beneficial to which of the following phases of the OPT model?

The TRX Rip Trainer functions as elastic resistance and is very good for balance/proprioceptive development, muscular endurance, and power development.; Phases 1, 2, and 5

Balance is best described as which of the following?

The ability to maintain control of the body while in a static position

Proprioception is best described as which of the following statements?

The body's ability to sense body position and limb movements

TRUE OR FALSE? Stability balls are best used with clients who demonstrate a need for increased overload of stability.

True

Antirotational exercises are often this sort of movement by nature.

Unilateral

Loaded movement training is best achieved with which training modality?

ViPR

Terra-Core is

comprised of an inflatable rubber bladder and hard-surfaced backing. However, the rectangular shape of the Terra-Core provides a larger overall footprint that measures 45 in. (114 cm) long by 17 in. (43 cm) wide by 10 in. (25 cm) high
