Question 1

When is the best time to do static stretching?&#10;A)before strengthening exercises&#10;B)when the tissues are cold&#10;C)when the tissues are warm&#10;D)first thing in the morning

Accepted Answer

Static stretching is most effective when the tissues are warm. Warm tissues are more pliable and elastic, making it easier to elongate and stretch them without causing injury. It is recommended to do some light cardio or dynamic stretching before performing static stretching to warm up the muscles and prepare them for the static stretches.

Question 2

Which of the following word origins means to keep back?&#10;A)inhibeo&#10;B)anti&#10;C)post&#10;D)tensio

Accepted Answer

"Inhibeo" comes from the Latin prefix "in-" meaning "in" or "not" and "hibeo" meaning "to hold back." Therefore, "inhibeo" means "to keep back."

Question 3

Which of the following word origins means alternate?&#10;A)post&#10;B)reciprocus&#10;C)facilitas&#10;D)activus

Accepted Answer

The Latin word "reciprocus" means "alternating" or "mutual."

Question 4

Which of the following terms is used synonymously with contract relax stretching?&#10;A)postisometric relaxation&#10;B)agonist contract&#10;C)active isolated stretching&#10;D)ballistic stretching

Accepted Answer

Postisometric relaxation is a technique that is used synonymously with contract relax stretching. This technique involves the contraction of a muscle group, followed by a period of relaxation, and then a stretch of the same muscle group. This is also referred to as proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching. B) Agonist contract is a term used in PNF stretching, but it is not synonymous with contract relax stretching. C) Active isolated stretching is not synonymous with contract relax stretching. D) Ballistic stretching involves bouncing or jerking movements, which is not the same as contract relax stretching.

Question 5

The technique of active isolated stretching,developed by Aaron Mattes,uses what neurologic reflex?&#10;A)muscle spindle&#10;B)Golgi tendon organ&#10;C)reciprocal inhibition&#10;D)cutaneous

Accepted Answer

Active isolated stretching utilizes the principle of reciprocal inhibition, where the contraction of one muscle leads to the relaxation of its opposing muscle, allowing for a more effective stretch.

Question 6

When contract relax agonist contract stretching is done,what neurologic reflexes are used?&#10;A)Golgi tendon organ,then reciprocal inhibition&#10;B)muscle spindle,then Golgi tendon organ&#10;C)reciprocal inhibition,then muscle spindle&#10;D)reciprocal inhibition,then Golgi tendon organ

Accepted Answer

Contract relax agonist contract (CRAC) stretching utilizes the Golgi tendon organ reflex first to relax the muscle being stretched through autogenic inhibition. Then, it employs reciprocal inhibition, which relaxes the antagonist muscle to allow for a greater stretch.

Question 7

Which of the following is increasingly becoming the protocol for the reps and timing of a stretch?&#10;A)three repetitions for 2 to 3 seconds each repetition&#10;B)three repetitions for 10 to 20 seconds each repetition&#10;C)10 repetitions for 2 to 3 seconds each repetition&#10;D)10 repetitions for 10 seconds each repetition

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is increasingly becoming...

Question 8

Ballistic stretching is not recommended because it activates the:&#10;A)Golgi tendon organ reflex&#10;B)neurologic reflex of reciprocal inhibition&#10;C)flexor withdrawal reflex&#10;D)muscle spindle reflex

Accepted Answer

Ballistic stretching is not recommended because it activates the muscle spindle reflex. This reflex causes the muscles to contract in response to a rapid stretching movement, which can lead to injury rather than increasing flexibility.

Question 9

The best way to stretch is to:&#10;A)perform stretching routines that have been memorized&#10;B)stretch in the opposite direction of the target muscle's action&#10;C)stretch in the same direction as the target muscle's action&#10;D)perform the technique until pain is felt

Accepted Answer

Stretching in the opposite direction of the target muscle's action is the most effective way to lengthen and loosen the muscle. This helps prevent injury and improve flexibility. Stretching in the same direction or performing the technique until pain is felt can increase the risk of injury. Memorized routines may not address individual needs and limitations.

Question 10

Which of the following terms is used synonymously with CR stretching?&#10;A)dynamic stretching&#10;B)AC&#10;C)proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation&#10;D)AIS

Accepted Answer

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a type of stretching that involves both the stretching and contracting of the muscle group being targeted. It is often used synonymously with Contract-Relax (CR) stretching, where the muscle is passively stretched, then actively contracted, and then stretched further. This technique is designed to increase flexibility and strength.

Question 11

Stretching is done to:&#10;A)limit mobility at a joint&#10;B)increase tension in tissues&#10;C)increase the activity of myofibroblasts&#10;D)lengthen and elongate tissues
