The text delves into the multifaceted roles and functions of core muscles, highlighting their significance in various physical activities and overall body stability. It emphasizes the different muscle groups involved, including hip muscles like the gluteus medius and maximus, hamstrings, and psoas, and the lumbar spine muscles such as the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum.
2) CORE STABILIZATION PROGRAM:
- LEVEL I (Stabilization)
- eg: lunge, prone cobra, double leg
bridging
- LEVEL II (Strength)
- eg: dying bug, prone hip extension,
stability ball crunches
- LEVEL III (Power)
- eg: weighted ball with single leg jump,
weighted ball with double leg jump, ball
stand extension
1) SPECIFIC GUIDELINES:
- muscle contraction spectrum
- program variation
- exercise selection
- exercise progression

ROLES OF MUSCULAR STRENGTH & ENDURANCE
par cours
fartlek training
interval training
continuous training
CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE:
- ability to perform whole-body
activities for extended periods of time without
undue fatigue.
increased capillarization
unchanged Q
increased SV
decrease in RHR
TYPES OF SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION
eccentric (muscle lengthens)
concentric (muscle shortens in length)
isometric (no change in length)
FACTORS THAT DETERMINE LEVELS OF MUSCULAR STRENGTH & ENDURANCE
overtraining
biomechanical consideration
neuromuscular efficiency
fast twitch vs slow twitch fibers
age
number of muscle fiber
size of the muscle
MUSCLE ENDURANCE:
- ability to perform repetitive muscular contractions
against some resistance for an extended period of
time.
MUSCULAR STRENGTH:
- ability of a muscle to generate force against some
resistance
PROPRIOCEPTION & FLEXIBILITY
SPECIFIC EXERCISES:
active exercise (no help)
passive exercise (with help)
ballistic stretching
static stretching
dynamic stretching
plyometric movements & drills
strengthening exercises
exercises while closing the eyes
balancing exercise
FLEXIBILITY:
- ability to move a joint or series of joint through a
full, non restricted, paint free range of motion
increase blood flow to muscles
improve posture
increase ROM
PROPRIOCEPTION:
- the sense of knowing where your
body part is in space
