Cards

Term
Flexibility
Definition
Ability to move joints through a full range of motion (ROM).
Term
Range of Motion (ROM)
Definition
Amount of movement in a joint
Term
Overload
Definition
Additional force needed to stretch muscles
Term
Progression
Definition
You can increase your intensity by stretching farther as you gain flexibility, length of time held, or the number of reps.
Term
Specificity
Definition
Only the specific muscles at specific joints improve. You must stretch all/each muscle that you want to improve flexibility
Term
Dynamic Stretching
Definition
Stretching through movement using the range of motion you presently have.
Term
Static Stretching
Definition
(no movement) stretch as far as you can without pain, until you feel a sense of a slight pulling or tension, then hold.
Term
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
Definition
Stretching – stretch, relax, stretch, Used by many physical + occupational therapists, Can lead to increased range of motion due to use of proprioceptors (nerves that send signals regarding changes in body position)
Term
Muscle Spindles
Definition
React to changes in length.
(Proprioceptors)
Term
Golgi Tendon Organs
Definition
React to changes in tension.
(Proprioceptor)
Term
Ballistic Stretching
Definition
A series of quick but gentle bouncing or bobbing motions. Similar to dynamic stretching. Important to keep bouncing light/gentle.
Term
Flexibility Exercise
Definition
Start with a general warm-up (Elevate H.R)
Do not overstretch, or stretch joints that are hyper-mobile, unstable, or swollen
Stretch until you feel discomfort, not pain.
Term
Cardiovascular Fitness
Definition
Lengthens life, controls your weight, strengthens heart, blood vessels are healthier, and reduces risks of hypokinetic disease
Term
Cardiovascular System
Definition
Cardio~Heart Vascular~Blood vessels+blood
Pumps blood to muscles
Term
Respiratory System
Definition
Lungs+air passages
Brings oxygen into the lungs
Term
Aerobic Exercise
Definition
Activity that is steady + elevates the heart rate. Supplying all the oxygen the muscles need.
Term
Anaerobic Exercise
Definition
Activity so intense that you cannot supply adequate oxygen to sustain for a long time.
Term
Moderate Intensity
Definition
65%-75% of Max HR
Term
Vigorous Intensity
Definition
75%-90% of Max HR
Term
Arteries
Definition
Radial-Wrist Carotid-neck
