Question 14

Which is considered the minimum frequency of training needed for increasing ROM?

a. 1-2 days per week

b. 4-5 days per week

c. 2-3 days per week

d. 3-4 days per week

Question 15

The best time to perform ROM exercises is:

Select one:

a. when you wake up

b. both A and B

c. just before bed

d. when a muscle is warm, such as after a wrm-up or activity

Answer 1

1. Muscle spindles

Muscle spindles are known as the stretch receptors that are present in the body of a muscle and detect changes in the length of the muscle and convey that message to CNS with the help of nerve fibres.

2. False

The principle of overload states that you should the overload once your body adapts its present routine. This is achieved by FITT - Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type

3. 2 to 3 days per week

4. 2 to 3 days per week

5. when a muscle is warm, such as after a warm-up or activity

Warming up also helps to reduce muscle soreness and reduces the risk of injury.
