FNP, refers to a set of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques. They are therapeutic methods carried out in order to obtain specific responses of the neuromuscular system from the stimulation of the organic proprioceptors.
PHASES:
1. Passive stretching: Stretching in the way that we must do it properly depending of what type of the body we are working with. (20 seconds)
2. Isometric stretch: You have to contract the muscle, your parter has to block the movement. (8 seconds)
3. You have to take a break. (5 seconds)
4. Massive stretching: we repeat the first phase, but now, we will see a good improvement in our flexibility.
Examples: The cuadriceps: you have to be up against the wall an then someone have to take your foot and try to put it in your back (with the hip always be up against the wall).
Hamstrings: you have to sit down in front of a wall with the feet touching it (the wall), and then, someone have to be behind you pushing your back while you put your arms ahead trying to touch the wall.
2. Explain the General Syndrome of adaptation and all its phases. Give an example.
Is the process of your body, when your are stressed that cosist by assault-reaction.
PHASES:
1. Alarm reaction stage: The Alarm Reaction Stage refers to the initial symptoms the body experiences when is under stress. This natural reaction prepares you to either flee or protect yourself in dangerous situations
2. Resistance stage: After the initial shock of a stressful event, the body begins to repair itself. It releases a lower amount of cortisol, and your heart rate and blood pressure begin to normalize.
3. Exhaustion: This stage is the result of prolonged or chronic stress. Struggling with stress for long periods can drain your physical, emotional and mental resources to the point where your body no longer has strenght to fight stress.
EXAMPLE: Depression.
3. Explain the Threshold Law by Arnold Schult. Illustrate with an example.
The intensity of training is decisive in the results of this. Thus, according to the Threshold Law or Schultz-Arnodt Law, the training stimulus must overcome a threshold of intensity to be able to trigger an adaptation response, that is, to serve as something.
4. What is the training load and what are its components?. Explain them and give an example of each component.
The training load is The intensity of training is decisive in the results of this. Thus, according to the Threshold Law or Schultz-Arnodt Law, the training stimulus must overcome a threshold of intensity to be able to trigger an adaptation response, that is, to serve as something.
Its components are: volume and intensity.
5. Explain the principles of training according to the classification of Oliver (1985) and Zintl (1991).
- OLIVER (1985): three different groups;
· Principles related to the stimulation of physical conditioning.
· Principles related to the systems to witch said stimulus is direted.
· Principles related to the response to said stimulus.
- ZINTL (1991): three diffrent groups again;
· Those who initiate the adaptation.
·Those who guarantee adaptation.
·Those who exercise an specific control of adaptation.
