NASM Stretching and Flexibility

Which of the following statements best describe the golden rule? To never cause pain to the client or to the fitness professional during the session for any reason What postural dysfunction is often present in tandem with the upper crossed syndrome due to SFN postural dysfunction? Lower crossed syndrome Where do muscle tears occur most often? White collagenous fibers What types of movement should be used to engage the sympathetic nervous system? Quick and strong movement...

Muscle imbalance alterations of lengths of muscles surrounding a joint Altered reciprocal inhibition when a tight psoas decreases the neural drive to the gluteus maximums Autogenic inhibition process that stimulates the golgi tendon organ and produces an inhibitory effect on the muscle spiindle Glogi tendon organ sensory organ sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of change of tension Muscle spindle sensory organ of muscle sensitive to lenght and rate...

Active Flexibility 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 Stretching technique that uses agonists and synergists to...

Flexibility Normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full range of motion of a joint. Extensibility Capability to be elongated or stretched. Dynamic range of motion Combination of flexibility and the nervous system's ability to control this range of motion efficiently. Neuromuscular efficiency Ability of neuromuscular system to properly recruit muscles to produce force (concentrically), reduce force (eccentrically), and dynamically stabilize (isometrical...

The Golgi tendon organ is an essential component of static stretching because it Prevents muscle from being placed under excessive tension Which of the following is the correct force-couple relationship that allows for the upward rotation of the scapula? upper trapezius and lower portions of the serratus anterior. Deoxygenated blood is pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs through which of the following vessels? Pulmonary arteries Dynamic stretching improves soft t...

This is used in each area of the flexibility continuum SMR 10-15 reps of each exercise Dynamic Stretching Active flexibility Active-isolated Stretching Hold each stretch for 1-2 seconds for 5-10 reps Active-isolated Stretching Utilizes reciprocal inhibition with a 1-2 second hold Active-isolated Stretching Roll the entire length of a muscle until a tender spot is found SMR Multiplanar lunges Dynamic Stretching Used to correct existing muscl...

Flexibility The normal extensibility of soft tissues that allows for full range of motion of a joint. Extensibility Capability to be elongated or stretched. Range of motion The degree to which specific joints or body segments can move; often measured in degrees. Joint ROM is dictated by the type of joint (e.g., ball-and-socket versus hinge joint), and the extensibility of muscles and surrounding soft tissues Mobility Optimal flexibility and joint range of motion; ability...
