NASM CH1

state of lost physical fitness

neural input to the central nervous system from mechanoreceptors that sense position and limb movement.

unstable (but controlled) environment where exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms.

smaller divisons of training progressions thta fall within the three builiding blocks.

The ability of the bodys nerves to effectively send messeges to the bodys muscles

how quickly a muscle can generate force

• stabilization endurance training:
• goals- improve muscular endurance, enhance joint stability, increase flexibilty
• training- corrective flexibility, low loads, high reps, training in unstable yet controllable environments.

• Strength Endurance Training
• enhance stabilization strength and endurance while increasing prime mover strength.

Hypertrophy- increase muscle size.  (superset- one stable one not)

maximal strength- works towards the goal of increasing maximal prime mover strength.

Power - enhances prime mover strength while also improving the rate of force production (how quickly a muscle can generate force.)
