AFAA - Group Fitness Instructor Chapter 4
What is integrated fitness? - -Comprehensive approach
combining all exercise components
to help a participant
achieve higher levels of
function.
-What is function? - -Integrated, multiplanar
movement that involves
acceleration, stabilization,
and deceleration.
-What is flexibility? - -The normal extensibility of all soft tissue that allows for optimal
range of
motion (ROM) of a joint
-What is Self-myofascial
release (SMR)? - -Flexibility technique focusing
on the neural and fascial systems
of the body to decrease
receptor excitation and release
muscle tension.
-What is static stretching? - -A process of passively taking
a muscle to the point of tension
and holding the stretch
for 30 seconds.
-What is active stretching? - -Flexibility exercises in
which agonists move a limb
through a full range of motion,
allowing the antagonists
to stretch
-What is dynamic stretching? - -Multiplanar extensibility
with optimal neuromuscular
control through a full range
of motion.
-What are propriocepti vely enriched environments? - -Unstable, yet controllable
environments.
-What is balance? - -Ability to maintain the body's
center of gravity within its
, base of support.
-What is static balance? - -Ability to maintain equilibrium
in place with no external
forces.
-What is perturbation? - -A disturbance of equilibrium;
shaking.
-What is dynamic balance? - -Ability to maintain equilibrium
through the intended
path of motion when external
forces are present.
-What is sensorimotor integrati on? - -Ability of the nervous system
to gather and interpret
information to anticipate and
execute the proper motor
response.
-What is Plyometric training? - -Uses quick, powerful movements
involving concentric
contraction followed
by explosive concentric
contraction.
-What is rate of force production? - -Ability of muscles to exert
maximal force output in a
minimal amount of time.
-What is the Integrated performance paradigm? - -A forceful cycle of muscle
contraction that involves eccentric
loading of the muscle,
isometric muscle contraction,
and concentric muscle
contraction.
-What is speed? - -The straight-ahead velocity
of an individual.
-What is agility? - -Ability to maintain center of
gravity over a changing base
of support while changing
direction at various speeds.
-What is quickness? - -Ability to react to a stimulus
