Question 1

Balance

Answer 1

It is both static & dynamic; When the body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement

Question 2

Dynamic balance

Answer 2

The ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling

Question 3

3 Levels of Balance Training

Answer 3

1. Balance-Stabilization
2. Strength-Stabilization
3. Power-Stabilization

Question 4

Balance-Stabilization Exercises

Answer 4

Do not involve much joint movement; they improve joint stability

Designed to improve reflexive (automatic) joint stabilization contractions to increase joint stability

EXERCISES INCLUDE:

• *Single-leg balance
• *balance reach
• *hip internal & external rotation
• *lift and chop
• *throw and catch

Question 5

Balance-Strength Exercises

Answer 5

Involve dynamic eccentric & concentric movement of the balance leg, through a full range of motion

EXERCISES INCLUDE:

• *Single leg squat
• *squat touchdown
• *Romanian deadlift
• Multiplanar step-up to balance
• Multiplanar lung to balance

Question 6

Balance-Power Exercises

Answer 6

Improves high levels of eccentric strength, dynamic neuromuscular efficiency, and reactive joint stabilization

EXERCISES INCLUDE:

• Multiplanar hop w/ stabilization
• Multiplanar single-leg box hop-up w/ stabilization
• Multiplanar single-leg box hop-down w/ stabilization
