Normal ranges for heart rate and blood pressure. - Correct answer blood pressure 120/.80 and heart rate 60-100 bpm Assessments that can be performed on special populations (e.g., a pregnant client) - Correct answer Push, pull, overhead squat Single-leg squat or balance Correct exercises in relation to the OPT model - Correct answer core, flexibility, saq, plyometric, balance, resistance Corrective flexibility - Correct answer Corrective flexibility is designed to increase joint ROM, improve muscle imbalances, and correct altered joint motion. Corrective flexibility includes self- myofascial release(foam roll) techniques and static stretching. Self-myofascial release uses the principle of autogenic inhibition to cause muscle relaxation, whereas static stretching can use either autogenic inhibition or reciprocal inhibition to increase muscle length depending on how the stretch is performed. Corrective flexibility is appropriate at the stabilization level (phase I) of the OPT model. Active Flexibility - Correct answer Active flexibility uses self-myofascial release and active- isolated stretching techniques. Active-isolated stretching is designed to improve the extensibility of soft tissue and increase neuromuscular efficiency by using reciprocal inhibition. Active-isolated stretching allows for agonists and synergists muscles to move a limb through a full range of motion while functional antagonists are being stretched. For example, supine straight-leg raise uses hip flexors and quads to raise leg and hold it unsupported, whiel antagonist hamstring complex is stretched. Active flexibility appropriate at strength levels(phase 2,3, and 4) of OPT model. Functional Flexibility - Correct answer Functional flexibility uses self-myofascial release techniques and dynamic stretching. Dynamic stretching requires integrated, multiplanar soft tissue extensibility, with optimal neuromuscular control, through the full range of motion, or essentially movement without compensations. Therefore, if clients are compensating when performing dynamic stretches during training, then they need to be regressed to active or corrective flexibility.
