GRADED A+
⩥ abduction
external rotation
flexion
extension
horizontal abduction. Answer: Functions of deltoids (5)
⩥ proprioceptors in tendons activated when muscle is stretched..
Answer: Golgi tendon organs are (GTO)
⩥ proprioceptors in the muscle belly - provide info to the cns on muscle
fibre length and rate of change in length.. Answer: Muscle spindles are
⩥ how quickly it needs to contract to overcome a given stretch. Answer:
muscle spindles tell the muscle
⩥ Sensory receptors found in :
joints
muscles
,tendons. Answer: Proprioceptors are:
⩥ GTOs only become active when the muscle contracts.
Spindles are active even when muscles are at rest.
Also- GTOs not concerned with ROC. They are high-threshold only,
probably for injury prevention.. Answer: Name a major difference
between muscle spindles and GTO (both are proprioceptors)
⩥ F - 4 or more days per week
I - comfortable stretch - not intense or painful
T - 5 - 10 minutes per session
T - Dynamic, Static, one stretch per muscle group, full ROM, reciprocal
inhibition. Answer: Outline FITT design for flexibility
⩥ Common in dynamic stretching, this is a contraction in the agonist
muscle and relaxation in the antagonist muscle.. Answer: Define
Reciprocal inhibition
⩥ Myosin (thick) & Actin (thin). Answer: Name of myofilaments
⩥ decreased resting heart rate
decreased risk of CV disease
, improved endurance
increased stroke volume
increased cardiac output. Answer: What are the benefits of of
cardiorespiratory fitness?
⩥ the ability to apply force over a long period of time or to complete
repeated muscle contractions. Answer: define muscular endurance
⩥ the ability to generate force, or the maximum amount of force that a
muscle can exert in a single contraction. Answer: Define Muscular
strength
⩥ The ability to generate force quickly.. Answer: define muscular power
⩥ demonstrate positive health behaviours in these four areas:
social (friendliness)
mental (concentration, memory)
emotional (good stress management & positivity
spiritual (a sense of purpose, principled belief system). Answer: How
does a group fitness instructor encourage personal growth in mind, body
spirit in a class setting?
⩥ improved body image & self esteem
reduced anxiety and risk of depression
