EXS 340 quiz 2
guidelines for stretching:
-Frequency: >2-3x/wk or each workout -Intensity: hold until discomfort -Time: 2-4 reps of 10-30s
purpose of pre-screen:
-document patient health Hx -identify contraindication and indications
test order
1) non-fatigue 2) agility 3) maximum power and strength 4) speed/sprinting 5) localized muscular endurance 6) fatiguing anaerobic capacity 7) aerobic capacity
field test
A non-clinical test that does not require extensive training or expensive laboratory equipment
pre-test
Administered before the beginning of training to determine the athlete's initial ability levels
test
a procedure for assessing ability in a particular endeavor (speed, power, agility)
agility
ability to start, stop, change direction rapidly and in control (T-test, hexagon jump test)
post-test
administered after the training period to determine the success of the training program in achieving the training objectives
mid-test
administered one or more times during the training period to assess progress and modify the program as needed to maximize benefit
Range of Motion (ROM)
amount of movement of a joint
Propriocective Neuromusclar Facilitiation (PNF)
combination of contraction and relaxation of muscles
feasibility
degree of capability within the parameters of budget, equipment, space, medical status and experience
reliability
degree of consistency or repeatability of a test
validity
degree to which a test measures what it is supposed to measure
stretching
elongating a muscle beyond its resting length
it is essential to...
increase stability as mobility improves
anaerobic capacity
maximal amount of work per second performed in between 30-90 sec
transitional speed
mix of speed and agility (3 or less changes of direction)
dynamic stretching
motion/movement
Foam roll
self-myofascial release (SMR), releases knots
static stretching
stationary (slow and controlled)
maximal muscular power
strength x speed, explosive exercises
stability
structural integrity to support mobility (control of force and movement)
recovery between trials
sub-maximal: 2-3m maximal: 3-5m (minimum of 5m in between tests)
flexibility
the elasticity, pliability or elongation ability of soft tissue
evaluation
the process of analyzing test results for the purpose of making decisions
measurement
the process of collecting data
mobility
the range of motion of a joint AND the flexibility of surrounding soft tissue
warm up
the transition from rest to exercise (5-10 minutes, low intensity, increase in HR and body temp)
speed
time taken to cover a fixed distance
cool-down
transitions from exercise to rest (decrease in HR and body temp)
