Muscle imbalances ✔✔alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
Obesity ✔✔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
What is the BMI of a typical obese individual? ✔✔30 or greater
Refers to a person with a body mass index of 25-29.9 or who is between 25-30 pounds over the
recommended weight ✔✔overweight
These are also known as cholesterol and triglycerides and are carried in the bloodstream by
protein molecules known as HDL and LDL ✔✔blood lipids
chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and
enhances usage of fats and proteins ✔✔diabetes mellitus
,a state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a
lack of core and joint stability ✔✔deconditioned
the cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense
body positions and limb movement ✔✔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) ✔✔proprioceptively enriched movement
smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training
✔✔phases of training
a muscle's ability to contract for an extended period ✔✔muscular endurance
the ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all
planes of motion ✔✔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? ✔✔stabilization training
the muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power ✔✔prime mover
set of two exercises that are performed back-to-back without any rest time between them
✔✔superset
What type of training should done by individuals with a goal of maximal muscle growth?
✔✔Hypertrophy training
ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time ✔✔rate of force
production
the combination and interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems ✔✔human
movement systems
a conglomeration of billions of cells specifically designed to provide a communication network
within the human body ✔✔nervous system
, the ability of the nervous system to sense changes in either the internal or external environment
✔✔sensory function
the ability of the nervous system to analyze and interpret sensory information to allow proper
decision making, which produces the appropriate response ✔✔integrative function
the neuromuscular response to the sensory information ✔✔motor function
the functional unit of the nervous system ✔✔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 ✔✔sensory neurons
transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another ✔✔interneurons
transmit nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to effector sites ✔✔motor neurons
