Download Multiple Choice 1. Static stretching is a form of which of the following

Multiple Choice
1. Static stretching is a form of which of the following?
A. Active flexibility
B. Corrective flexibility
C. Dynamic flexibility
D. Passive flexibility
ANSWER: B, Static Stretching aids in lengthening overactive muscles
2. Which of the following states that prolonged Golgi tendon organ stimulation inhibits the muscle spindle
of the same muscle?
A. Autogenic inhibition
B. Reciprocal inhibition
C. Excitation inhibition
D. Facilitation inhibition
ANSWER: A, Autogenic inhibition is used during self-myofascial release.
3. What form of flexibility applies gentle force to an adhesion “knot,” altering the elastic muscle fibers from
a bundled position into straighter alignment with the direction of the muscle or fascia?
A. Active-isolated stretching
B. Static stretching
C. Functional flexibility
D. Self-myofascial release
ANSWER: D, SMR aids to re-align muscle fibers with the use of autogenic inhibition.
4. The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns is
called:
A. Muscle imbalance
B. Relative flexibility
C. Postural distortion patterns
D. Altered reciprocal inhibition
ANSWER: B, Relative flexibility is seen when the lower back arches during an overhead shoulder press
due to an individual’s inability to press arms directly overhead.
5. A tight psoas decreasing neural drive of the gluteus maximus is an example of what?
A. Synergistic dominance
B. Autogenic inhibition
C. Arthokinetic dysfunction
D. Altered reciprocal inhibition
ANSWER: D, Weakness in the gluteus maximus is inhibiting the psoas, the antagonist.
6. What is the definition of a muscle imbalance?
A. Soft tissue models along the lines of stress
B. Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
C. Synergists taking over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover
D. The body seeking the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns
ANSWER: B, Some muscles will be overactive forcing compensation while others are underactive which
allow compensation to occur.
7. Which forms of flexibility are used in Phase 1 of the OPT model?
A. Self-myofascial release and static stretching
B. Static stretching and active-isolated stretching
C. Self-myofascial release and active-isolated stretching
D. Active-isolated stretching and dynamic stretching
ANSWER: A, both of these stretching techniques are used for corrective flexibility which is the objective of
phase 1 flexibility.
8. Which forms of flexibility are used in Phase 2 of the OPT model?
A. Active-isolated stretching and neuromuscular stretching
B. Self-myofascial release and active-isolated stretching
C. Self-myofascial release and dynamic stretching
D. Static stretching and neuromuscular stretching
ANSWER: B, These stretching techniques are used to increase extensibility in soft tissue and improve
neuromuscular efficiency.
9. Which forms of flexibility are used in Phase 5 of the OPT model?
A. Self-myofascial release and dynamic stretching
B. Self-myofascial release and positional isometrics
C. Self-myofascial release and ischemic pressure
D. Static stretching and soft tissue release
ANSWER: A, This form of flexibility should only be done by individuals with no compensations.
10. Increased force output of the hamstrings to compensate for a weakened gluteus maximus for hip
extension is an example of what?
A. Autogenic inhibition.
B. Synergistic dominance.
C. Arthokinetic dysfunction.
D. Altered reciprocal inhibition.
ANSWER: B, The hamstring is typically a synergist during hip extension movements but takes on a more
dominant role which can lead to hamstring injury.
