At the sticking point of an exercise, you should breath ______ or _____________. -
answer out or exhale
true or false: you inhale during the concentric phase - answerfalse, you inhale during
the eccentric phase
axial skeleton: - answerincludes the brain, spine, ribs, and sternum
body weight training: - answerbody weight is used for the exercise resistance
With body weight you should increase _______. - answerreps
Body weight training with increased reps works more of strength
____________________ instead of pure ___________. - answermuscular endurance
instead of pure strength
to increase the body weight exercise intensity you could change the
________________ ______________. - answermovement pattern
ex: elevate legs during pushups
muscle activation: - answer- exercise that wakes up the muscle opposite the tight short
muscles
ex: glute bridge, side clam, scapular pull ups, superman, squeeze press,
There is a huge interest in strengthening the core to help improve and enhance . . . -
answerathletic performance
anatomical core: - answeraxial skeleton and all the soft tissues with proximal
attachment (usually the origin of the muscle)
soft tissues (connects, surrounds, and supports internal organs and tissues; ligaments,
tendons, etc.) act to generate forces and resist motion; what does this mean? -
answerthis means that soft tissue will act to generate concentric muscle actions but will
resist eccentric and isometric muscle actions
- soft tissue examples include muscle and fat
isolation exercise: - answertypically consists of dynamic or isometric muscle actions
designed to isolate specific core musculature without contribution of upper and lower
body extremities
ex: prone plank and side plank
