Chapter 1

Lost physical fitness, muscle imbalances, dec flexibility, dec core/joint stability

A cumulative of neural input to CNS from mechanoreceptors that sense position/limb mvnt

An unstable but controlled environment where exercises are preformed to get the body to use internal balance and stability mechanisms

Small divisions of training programs that fall within the 3 building blocks of training

Ability of stabilizing muscles to provide support for joints and maintain posture and balance during movements

Ability of the bodys nerves to send messages to the bodies muscles

Main muscle of movement

How quickly a muscle can generate force

A set of 2 exercises preformed back to back without rest

Goal is increase muscle, moerate reps, and heavy load

High loads low reps

Enhance stabilization strength and endurance while increasing prime mover strength

Past people were more conditioned and active, now inc technology leads to dysfunction and inc injury, new mindset is focused on creating programs and adressing functional capacity as part of a safe program designed for each person

Enhances prime mover strength while also improving the rate of force production (How quickly a muscle can generate force)

The combination and interralation of hte nervous, skeletal and muscular systems

Cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body and serve to relay info from bodily organs to the brain and from the brain to bodily organs

The ability of hte nervou ssystem to sense change in internal or external environments

The ability of the nervous system to to analyze and interpret sensory information to allow for proper decision making, which produces the appropriate response

The neuromuscular response to sensory info

The functional unit of the nervous system

Neurons that transmit nerve impulses from effector sites to the brain or spinal cord

Neurons that transmit impluses from one neuron to another

Transmit nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord to the effector sites

Brain and spinal cord, interprets information

Crainal and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body and serve to relay information from bodily organs to the brain and from the brain to bodily organs

Sensory receptors that are responsible for sensiting distortion in bodily issues

Receptors sensitive to pressure, acceleration, and deceleration within the joint

Large groups of cells that form nerves, which profide a communication networks within the body

Fibers sensitive to change in the length of the muscle and the rate of that change
