NASM Corrective exercise specialist
Corrective exercise - Answer-A term used to describe the
systematic process of identifying a
neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction,
developing a plan of action, and
implementing an integrated corrective
strategy.
Corrective Exercise Continuum - Answer-The systematic programming process
used to address neuromusculoskeletal
dysfunction through the use of inhibitory,
lengthening, activation, and integration
techniques
Inhibitory techniques - Answer-Corrective exercise techniques used to release
tension or decrease activity of overactive
neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
Lengthening techniques - Answer-Corrective exercise techniques used to
increase the extensibility, length, and range
of motion of neuromyofascial tissues in the
body.
,Activation techniques - Answer-Corrective exercise techniques used
to reeducate or increase activation of
underactive tissues.
Corrective exercise techniques used to
retrain the collective synergistic function of
all muscles through functionally progressive
movements. - Answer-Integration techniques
the International Obesity Task Force - Answer-In 1985, deemed the prevalence of
obesity________________
an epidemic
one third 33% - Answer-Today, approximately _______ of adults are estimated to be obese
overweight - Answer-18% of today's adolescents and teenagers are considered
40 years ago - Answer-Research suggests that musculoskeletal pain is more common now than it
was__________because of the advancements of technology and manuallabor-saving
devices.
1 million ambulatory care (doctor) visits per year - Answer-In the general population, plantar fasciitis
accounts for more than
$26 billion - Answer-It has been estimated that the annual costs attributable to low-back pain in the
United States are greater than
,21% of the general population - Answer-Shoulder pain is reported to occur in up to
higher the risk of injury? - Answer-The less conditioned our musculoskeletal systems are, the higher the
risk of injury?
R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compress, elevate). - Answer-According to the text, a comprehensive corrective
exercise strategy using the
Corrective Exercise Continuum includes all of the following steps EXCEPT:
Biomechanics - Answer-A study that uses principles of physics
to quantitatively study how forces
interact within a living body
Force - Answer-An influence applied by one object to another, which results in an acceleration or
deceleration of the second object.
Rotary motion - Answer-Movement of the bones around the joints
Torque - Answer-A force that produces rotation
Antagonists - Answer-Muscles that act in direct opposition to prime movers
Synergists - Answer-Muscles that assist prime movers during functional movement patterns.
Stabilizers - Answer-Muscles that support or stabilize the body while the prime movers and the
synergists perform the movement patterns.
, Motor behavior - Answer-Th e human movement system's response to internal and external
environmental stimuli
Motor control - Answer-Th e study of posture and movements with the involved structures and
mechanisms used by the central nervous system to assimilate and integrate sensory information with
previous experiences
Motor learning - Answer-
Motor development - Answer-Th change in motor behavior with time throughout the lifespan
Internal (sensory) feedback - Answer-Th e process by which sensory information is used by the body via
length-tension relationships, force-couple relationships, and arthrokinematics to monitor movement
and the environment.
External (augmented) feedback - Answer-Information provided by some external source, for example, a
health and fitness professional, videotape, mirror, or heart rate monitor.
Knowledge of results - Answer-Used after the completion of a movement to inform individuals about the
outcome of their performance
Knowledge of performance - Answer-Provides information about the quality of the movement
Length-tension relationship - Answer-The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can
produce at this resting length.
Force-velocity curve - Answer-The relationship of a muscle's ability to produce tension at differing
shorting velocites
