between them - ANSWERS-superset
What type of training should done by individuals with a goal of maximal
muscle growth? - ANSWERS-Hypertrophy training
ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time
- ANSWERS-rate of force production
the combination and interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal
systems - ANSWERS-human movement systems
a conglomeration of billions of cells specifically designed to provide a
communication network within the human body - ANSWERS-nervous
system
the ability of the nervous system to sense changes in either the internal or
external environment - ANSWERS-sensory function
,the ability of the nervous system to analyze and interpret sensory
information to allow proper decision making, which produces the
appropriate response - ANSWERS-integrative function
the neuromuscular response to the sensory information - ANSWERS-motor
function
the functional unit of the nervous system - ANSWERS-neuron
These neurons transmit nerve impulses from effector sites via receptors to
the brain and spinal cord -- respond to touch, sound, light and other stimuli
- ANSWERS-sensory neurons
Muscle imbalances - ANSWERS-alteration of muscle length surrounding a
joint
Obesity - ANSWERS-The condition of being considerably overweight, and
refers to a person with a body mass index of 30 or greater, or who is at
least 30 pounds over his or her recommended weight

carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins -
ANSWERS-diabetes mellitus
a state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances,
decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability - ANSWERS-
deconditioned
the cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all
mechanoreceptors that sense body positions and limb movement -
ANSWERS-proprioception
an unstable physical situation in which exercises are performed that cause
the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms
(Examples include using stability balls and single-leg squats versus
traditional) - ANSWERS-proprioceptively enriched movement

endurance
the ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently
work together in all planes of motion - ANSWERS-neuromuscular efficiency
What is the first phase of training that should be completed before anything
else to prevent injury and/or tension at the joints? - ANSWERS-stabilization
training
, transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another - ANSWERS-
interneurons
transmit nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to effector sites -
ANSWERS-motor neurons
the portion of the nervous system the consists of the brain and spinal cord -
ANSWERS-central nervous system
cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body - ANSWERS-
peripheral nervous system
sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion and pressure in body
tissues - ANSWERS-mechanoreceptors
receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that
change - ANSWERS-muscle spindles
receptors sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of that
change - ANSWERS-golgi tendon organs
receptors surrounding a joint that respond to pressure, acceleration, and
declaration of the joint - ANSWERS-joint receptors
the body's framework, composed of bones and joints - ANSWERS-skeletal
system
