NASM PES Chapter 4 Flexibility Training for Performance Enhancement with Correct Solutions 2024/2025

NASM PES Chapter 4 Flexibility Training for Performance Enhancement with Correct Solutions 2024 Active Flexibility - Answer -Designed to improve soft tissue extensibility in all planes of motion by employing the neurophysiological principle of reciprocal inhibition. Active flexibility utilizes agonists and synergists to actively move a limb through a range of motion, while the functional antagonists are being stretched. Active flexibility incorporates neuromuscular stretching and active-isolated stretching. Active-Isolated Stretching - Answer -Stretching technique that uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint through a range of motion. All-Or-None Principle - Answer -When a muscle fiber is stimulated to contract, the entire fiber contracts completely. Arthrokinetic Dysfunction - Answer -The biomechanical dysfunction in two articular partners that lead to abnormal joint movement (arthrokinematics) and proprioception. Atrophy - Answer -The loss in muscle fiber size. Corrective Flexibility - Answer -Designed to correct common postural dysfunctions, muscle imbalances and joint dysfunctions incorporating self-myofascial release, static stretching and neuromuscular stretching. Cumulative Injury Cycle - Answer -A cycle whereby and "injury" will induce inflammation, muscle spasm, adhesions, altered neuromuscular control and muscle imbalances. Davis' Law - Answer -States that soft tissue models along the line of stress. Dynamic Stretching - Answer -Uses the force production of a muscle and the body's momentum to take a joint through the full available range of motion. Elasticity - Answer -The spring-like behavior of connective tissue that enables the tissue to return to its original shape or size when forces are removed. Endomysium - Answer -The deepest layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers. Epimysium - Answer -A layer of connective tissue that is underneath the fascia, and surrounds the muscle. Flexibility Training - Answer -Physical training of the body that integrates various stretches in all three planes of motion in order to produce the maximum extensibility of tissues.Functional Flexibility - Answer -Designed to improve multiplanar soft tissue extensibility and provide optimum neuromuscular control throughout that full range of motion, while performing functional movements that utilize the body's muscles to control the speed, direction and intensity of the stretch. Golgi Tendon Organs - Answer -Located within the musculotendinous junction and are sensitive to changes in muscular tension, and rate of tension change. Joint Mechanoreceptors - Answer -Receptors located in joints thro
