What is muscular strength?

Back

Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force that a muscle or group of muscles can exert against resistance in a single effort.

Front

What is the purpose of increasing the workload to a higher percentage of 1-RM in strength training?

Back

Increasing the workload to a higher percentage of 1-RM (one-repetition maximum) is intended to enhance muscular strength by challenging the muscles to adapt to heavier loads.

Front

What is an isometric exercise?

Back

An isometric exercise is a type of strength training where the muscle length does not change during contraction, such as holding a plank position.

Front

What is reciprocal inhibition?

Back

Reciprocal inhibition is a neuromuscular phenomenon where the contraction of one muscle (agonist) leads to the relaxation of its opposing muscle (antagonist).

Front

What is passive static stretching?

Back

Passive static stretching involves holding a stretch position without any active movement, often with the help of an external force, to increase flexibility.

Front

What does 'intensity' refer to in exercise?

Back

In exercise, 'intensity' refers to how hard a person is working during physical activity, often measured by the amount of weight lifted or the level of effort exerted.

Front

What is the role of the gastrocnemius muscle?

Back

The gastrocnemius muscle is a major calf muscle that plays a key role in plantar flexion of the foot and flexion of the knee.

Front

What is the difference between dynamic and static stretching?

Back

Dynamic stretching involves active movements that stretch the muscles through their range of motion, while static stretching involves holding a stretch position without movement.

Front

What is the significance of the tibialis anterior muscle?

Back

The tibialis anterior muscle is important for dorsiflexion of the foot and helps stabilize the ankle during walking and running.

Front

What is autogenic inhibition?

Back

Autogenic inhibition is a reflex that causes a muscle to relax when it is subjected to a high level of tension, helping to prevent injury.
