Front Back
Deconditioned
A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability.
Proprioception
The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb mvmt.
Proprioceptively enriched environment
An unstable(yet controllable) physical sit. in which ex. are performed that causes the body to use its internal bal. and stabilization mechanisms.
OPT
Optimum Performance training
Phases of training
Smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training.
Muscular endurance
A muscle's ability to contract for an extended period of time.
Neuromuscular efficiency
Ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion.
Prime mover
The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power.
Superset
Set of 2 exercises that are performed back-to-back, w/out any rest time between them.
What principles are the opt model based on?
Principles that progressively and systematically allow any client to achieve optimum levels of physiologic, physical, and performance adaptat.
Physiologic benefits of using opt
Improved cardiorespiratory efficiency, enhances endocrine and serum lipid adapt., +metabolic efficiency, +tissue tensile strength, +bone density
Physical benefits of using opt
Decreases body fat and increases lean body mass.
Performance benefits of using opt
Strength, power, endurance, flexibility, speed, agility, and balance.
Stabilization Endurance training(Phase 1) goals
Improve muscular endurance, enhance joint stability, +flexibility, enhance control of posture, and improve neuromuscular efficiency.
Stabilization endurance training strategies
Corrective flexibility, training in unstable environments, low loads, high reps.
