Definition
supervision should be on ALL exercises but spotting mainly on free weight exercises such as: overhead, over the face, bar on upper back, or bar on front of shoulders

Definition
elasticity: the ability to return to original resting length after a passive stretch
plasticity: a new and greater length after a passive stretch, even after the load is removed
