Term

Antagonist

pg 36

Definition

 

Muscle relaxes while the agonist contracts.

Ex. Quad is agonist that contracts to extend knees in forward fold. Hamstring is the antagonist.

Term

Synergist--

pg 36

Definition

assists the agonist( prime mover)

muscle in contraction to move.

ex: Warrior II; assists the soas when flexing the hip

 

Term

Insertion

pg 36

Definition

Distal (Further from trunk) attachment of muscle to bone.

 

Term

Origin

pg 36

Definition

Proximal (closer to the trunk) attachment of muscle to bone

 

Term

Agonist

pg36

Definition

Prime Mover

Muscle contracting to produce the move.

Term

Muscle-

 pg 40

consists of cells called fibers found in packets called fascicles. 

Definition
Term

3 types Muscle contractions

pg 41

Definition
  • concentric
  • eccentric
  • isometric
Term

concentric

pg 41

Definition

Muscle shortens and moves insertion attachment bone toward to origin attachment bone.

EX:flexing  bi-cep

Term

eccentric

pg 41

Definition

muscles lengthens to allow the insertion attachment bone to move away from the origin attachment bone, under control.

EX: extend bi cep

Term

Issometric

pg 41

Definition

muscle tenses, but neither the insertion, nor origin attachment bone moves.

EX: holding a pushup

Term

4 stretching muscle strategies

pg 42

Definition
  • active static
  • passive static
  • facilitated stretching
  • dynamic stretching
Term

Active stretching

pg 42

Definition

Uses antagonistic muscle contraction to stretch desired muscles.

EX: seated forward fold

Term

Passive static

pg 42

Definition

Stretching using your bodies weight or an outside for to stretch desired muscles.

EX: Bridge pose

Term

Facilitated stretching

pg 42

Definition

Using contraction of the same muscles while 

producing an active static stretch to the desired muscle.

Ex: pg 43 picture modified pidgeon

Term

Dynamic Stretching

pg 42

Definition

Using repetitive movements to stretch the desired muscles.

EX: vinyasa flow

Term

Open & Closed chain movements

pg.47

Definition

Open-Distal end moves freely-Ex: moving arms away in Warrior II. Involves balance & awareness of body in space.

 

Closed--Distal ends are fixed, no movement

Invloves strengthening of core.

Ex: soas muscle in warrior II.
