The structures that make up the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC), including the lumbar spine, the pelvic girdle, abdomen, and the hip joint.

A maneuver used to recruit the local core stabilizers by drawing the navel in toward the spine.

occurs when you have contracted both the abdominal, lower back, and buttock muscles at the same time.

When the body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement.

The ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling.

Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.

Exercises that generate quick, powerful movements, involving an explosive concentric muscle contraction preceded by an eccentric muscle action.

To move with efficiency, forces must be dampened (eccentrically), stabilized (isometrically), and then accelerated (concentrically).

The ability to move the body in one intended direction as fast as possible.

The number of strides taken in a given amount of time (distance).

The distance covered with each stride.

Proper alignment of the lead leg and pelvis during sprinting, which includes ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion and neutral pelvis

proper alignment of the rear leg and pelvis during sprinting, which includes ankle plantarflexion, knee extension, hip extension and neutral pelvis

the ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize and change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture

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

A term used to describe how the body responds and adapts to stress.

The alarm reaction is the initial reaction to stressor.

Pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity.

The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor.

Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion or distress to the system.

Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages.

Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it.

Refers to the weight and movements placed on the body.

Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection.

Refers to the energy demand placed on the body.

The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time.

Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension.

The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome and external load.

Ability of the meuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time.

Alternating body parts trained from set to set starting from the upper extremity and moving to the lower extremity.

Performing all sets of an exercise or body part before moving on to the next exercise or body part.
