ACE PERSONAL TRAINER CHAPTER 7 EXAM What is the primary goal of any personal training program? - ANSWER Functionality Posture - Answer: Static basis or alignment of body segments. Postural Assessment - ANSWER Can be used to examine body segment alignmen t. Movement Screens - ANSWER assesses how posture, both good and bad, influences the capacity to move. Muscle imbalances related with kyphosis lordosis posture - ANSWER Muscle imbalances linked with flat back posture - ANSWER Shortened (rectus abdominis, upper back extensors, neck extensors, ankle plantar flexors ) Lengthened (liacus/psoas major, internal oblique, lunar extensors, neck flexors). Muscle imbalances related with sway back posture: Shortened (hamstrings, upper fibers of posterior obliques, lumbar extensors, neck extensors) Lengthene d (liacus/psoas major, rectus femoris, external oblique, upper back extensors, neck flexors) Lordosis - ANSWER increased the anterior lumbar curve from neutral. ANSWER Kyphosis increased the posterior thoracic curve from neutral. What is the association with a decreased anterior lumbar curve? - ANSWER Flat Back Sway-back - ANSWER Reduced anterior lumbar curve and increased posterior thoracic curve from neutral. Scoliosis - ANSWER Lateral spinal curvature is frequently accompanied by vertebral rotation. A static posture exam may provide useful information about - ANSWER Muscle imbalance at a joint and the functioning relationships of muscles around a joi nt. Modified neurological action of the muscles that move and govern the joi nt. What does muscular imbalance contribute to? - Answer: faulty movement. Muscles are frequently shortened. - ANSWER: Overactive and dominant movement at the joint Correctable elements in muscle imbalance and postural abnormalities include repetitive motions (muscle pattern overload), awkward stances and mov ements (bad posture), side dominance, joint instability, joint mobility, an d imbalanced strength training regimens. Non-correctable variables in muscle imbalance and postural deviations include congenital diseases (scoliosis), some pathologies (rheumatoid arthri tis), structural deviations (tibial or femoral torsion, or femoral anteversion), and certain types of trauma (surgery damage, or amputation). Muscle Balance = - 1a. Normal length-tension relationships. 1b. Normal force coupling connections. 2. Proper joint mechanics 3. Efficient force acceptance and generation. 4. Improves joint stability and mobility. 5. Movement Efficiency Given the prevalence of poor posture, should trainers be able to restore it? - ANSWER Stability and mobility inside the body (straighten before strengthening ). The objective of the plumb line assessment is to examine the client's symmetry against the plumb line as well as the correct angles that the weight-bearing join ts make relative to the line of gravity. Focus only on major deviations from the plumb line that exceeds a quarter inch (don't get caught up in minor postural asymmetries). Frontal Plane View (Anterior): ANSWER Body facing forward Frontal Plane View (Posterior) - Answer: Body facing backward. A chronological plan for performing posture exams and movement screens - ANSWER 1. Health history and lifestyle information. 1a. If necessary, refer the client to an appropriate medical professional. 2. Static Postural Analysis. 2a. Muscle length assessment is necessary for both active and passive range s of motion. 3. Identification of correctable postural compensations. 3a. Administration of appropriate moving screens. 4. Phase 1: Stability and Mobility Training (Restorative Exercise) 5. Phase 2 Movement Training (Patterns) 6. Phases 3 and 4: Load and performance trainingThe benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
