Sports Medicine: Ch 7 Vocabulary Test 2

A motor nerve plus all the muscle fibers it stimulates is a/ an:

• fast-twitch fiber

• motor unit

• slow-twitch fiber

Progressive overwork of muscles, at a controlled, increased rate, to achieve consistent gains in strength:

• circuit training

• PRE's

• overload

• rehabilitation

Trying to prevent injuries before they occur, through a preventative management program:

• prehabilitation

• rehabilitation

• preseason conditioning

True or False: Preseason conditioning is a program, beginning 6-8 weeks prior to sports participation, that allows the body to gradually adapt to the demands to be placed on it.

• true

• false

combined relaxing and contracting of the muscles; an initial isometric contraction against maximum resistance is held at the end of the range of motion, followed by relaxation and passive stretching is known as:

• proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

• static stretching

• ballistic stretching

• isokinetic exercise

Progressive resistance exercise is:

• a type of training in which muscles are worked until they reach their capacity

• the workload on the muscle is increased to further build strength and endurance once the athlete is able to maintain the initial capacity

• both of the above options

• neither of the above options

The process of restoring function through programmed exercise to enable a return to competition is:

• reversibility

• rehabilitation

• prehabilitation

• stretching

The process of muscle atrophy due to disuse, immobilization or starvation; leads to decreased muscle mass and strength. This is the definition of:

• specificity

• overlaod

• reversibility

• hypertrophy

Fiber in a motor unit that requires a long period of time to generate force; these fibers are resistant to fatigue:

• fast-twitch fiber

• PNF

• slow-twitch fiber

The ability of particular muscle groups to respond to targeted training, so that increased strength is gained in that muscle group only:

• stretching

• overlaod

• specificity

• adaptation
