Module 7- Flexibility

Tight hip flexors can contribute to gluteal amnesia?

True

You can be too flexible?

True

This form of stretching is characterized by its rapid, jerky movement:

ballistic

Which of the following is not a benefit of flexibility training?

increases strength when used after the warm-up

When a muscle stretches too fast, this causes it to contract:

muscle spindle

Which is the definition of elasticity?

the ability to return to original resting length after passive stretch

Which is the definition of plasticity?

the tendency to assume a new and greater length after passive stretch

The ideal workout routing would be performed in the following order:

warm-up, workout, cool-down, stretch

What affects the ROM around a given joint?

All the above

The most effective frequency of stretching is:

Daily

A warmer muscle has a decreased ROM

False

Range of Motion (ROM) is the ability to change directions rapidly.

False

When a muscle has too much tension, this causes it to relax:

GTO

Which of the following is the most effective method of stretching for increasing ROM?

PNF

The most common method of stretching is:

Static

The following are all types of flexibility techniques

Static, ballistic, dynamic, PNF

Age is a contributing factor to flexibility?

TRue

Excessive sitting can result in:

all the above

Which is the definition of hyperlaxity?

allows the joints to achieve a ROM that exceeds the normal range of motion

Which method of stretching is acceptable to do after the warm-up and before the workout?

dynamic
