chapter 19 lesson 2

Question 1

what is SAQs

Answer 1

speed, agility and quickness

Question 2

what is known as speed

Answer 2

the straght ahead velocity is measured as distance

Question 3

what is agility

Answer 3

the ability to start stop or decelerate or stabilize, change direction quickly

Question 4

what is quickness

Answer 4

the ability to react and change body positions with maximal rate of force production.

Question 5

are agility and change of direction different

Answer 5

yes, agility involves reacting to a signal

Question 6

stride rate

Answer 6

is the number of strides taken in a given amount of time

Question 7

change of direction

Answer 7

requires the client or athlete to run in all directions at maximum speed.

Question 8

Speed

Answer 8

the ability to move the body in one direction as fast as possible

Question 9

stride rate

Answer 9

the number of strides taken in a given amount of time or distance

Question 10

stride length

Answer 10

the distance covered with each stride during the gait cycle

Question 11

frontside mechanics

Answer 11

involve triple flexion, synchronized movement of ankle dorssiflexion, knee flexion and hip flexion.

Question 12

why are sprint mechanics important

Answer 12

proper running mechanics enable the client to maximize force generation through biomechanical efficiency allowing maximal movement velocity to be achieved in the shortest amount of time possible.

Question 13

what is the importance of backside mechanics

Answer 13

Proper alignment of the rear leg and pelvis during sprinting, which includes ankle plantarflexion, knee extension, hip extension, and a neutral pelvis.

Question 14

what is one benefit of improved backside mechanics.

Answer 14

stonger push phase during

Question 15

what is proprioception

Answer 15

The body’s ability to naturally sense its general orientation and relative position of its parts.

Question 16

LPHC alignment when running

Answer 16

During maximal velocity, the LPHC should be fairly neutral, without excessive extension or flexion, unless to reach for an object.

Question 17

head alignment during running

Answer 17

The head should remain in line with the LPHC, and the LPHC should be in line with the legs.

Question 18

agility

Answer 18

Agility necessitates the ability to start (or accelerate), stop (or decelerate and stabilize), and change direction while maintaining postural control (

Question 19

What term is used to describe ankle plantar flexion, knee extension, and hip extension of the rear leg while sprinting?

Answer 19

triple extension
