NASM Chapter 7 Flexibility Training Concepts with Verified Solutions 2024 Flexibility - Answer -The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full range of motion of a joint. Extensibility - Answer -Capability to be elongated or stretched. Dynamic Range of Motion - Answer -The combination of flexibility and the nervous systems ability to control this range of motion efficiently. Neuromuscular Efficiency - Answer -The ability of the neuromuscular system to allow agonists, antagonists and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce,reduce and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all three planes of motion. Postural Distortion Patters - Answer -Predictable patterns of muscle imbalances. Muscle imbalance..poor posture...improper movement...injury Relative Flexibility - Answer -The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns. Muscle Imbalance - Answer -Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint. Reciprocal Inhibition - Answer -The simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of its antagonists to allow movement to take place. Altered Reciprocal Inhibition - Answer -The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist. Synergistic Dominance - Answer -The nueromuscular phenomenon that occurs when inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover. Arthokinematics - Answer -The motions of joints in the body. Arthokinetic Dysfunction - Answer -Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint. Autogenic Inhibition - Answer -The process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles. Pattern Overload - Answer -Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stresses on the body.Davies Law - Answer -States that soft tissue models alone the lines of stress. Static Stretching - Answer -The process of passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds. Active Isolated Stretch - Answer -The process of using agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion. Dynamic Stretch - Answer -The active extension of a muscle using force production and momentum, to move the joint through the full available range of motion. To Allow for Optimal Neuromuscular Efficiency - Answer -Individuals must have proper flexibility in all three planes of motion, which allows freedom of
