-
The structures that make up the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC), including the lumbar spine, the pelvic girdle, abdomen, and the hip joint.
core
-
A maneuver used to recruit the local core stabilizers by drawing the navel in toward the spine.
Drawing-in maneuver
-
occurs when you have contracted both the abdominal, lower back, and buttock muscles at the same time.
bracing
-
When the body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement.
balance
-
The ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling.
dynamic balance
-
Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.
Rate of force production
-
Exercises that generate quick, powerful movements, involving an explosive concentric muscle contraction preceded by an eccentric muscle action.
plyometric (reactive training)
-
To move with efficiency, forces must be dampened (eccentrically), stabilized (isometrically), and then accelerated (concentrically).
Integrated performance paradigm
-
The ability to move the body in one intended direction as fast as possible.
speed
-
The number of strides taken in a given amount of time (distance).
stride rate
-
The distance covered with each stride.
Stride length
-
Proper alignment of the lead leg and pelvis during sprinting, which includes ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion and neutral pelvis
frontside mechanics
-
proper alignment of the rear leg and pelvis during sprinting, which includes ankle plantarflexion, knee extension, hip extension and neutral pelvis
backside mechanics
-
the ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize and change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture
agility
-
The ability to react and change body position with maximal rate of force production, in all planes of motion and from all body positions, during functional activities
quickness
-
A term used to describe how the body responds and adapts to stress.
General adaptation syndrome
-
The alarm reaction is the initial reaction to stressor.
Alarm reaction
-
Pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity.
Delayed-onset muscle soreness
-
The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor.
resistance developement
-
Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion or distress to the system.
exhaustion
-
Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages.
Periodization.
-
Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it.
Principle of specificity or specific adaptation to imposed demands (SAID principle)
-
Refers to the weight and movements placed on the body.
mechanical specificity
-
Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection.
neuromuscular specificity
-
Refers to the energy demand placed on the body.
metabolic specificity
-
The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time.
muscular endurance
-
Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension.
muscular hypertrophy
-
The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome and external load.
strength
-
Ability of the meuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time.
power
-
Alternating body parts trained from set to set starting from the upper extremity and moving to the lower extremity.
vertical loading
-
Performing all sets of an exercise or body part before moving on to the next exercise or body part.
Horizontal loading
