Calculating heart rate reserve is a more appropriate method of calculating aerobic exercise intensity than calculating heart rate maximum because it takes into account age and resting heart rate.

Match the functional deficit with the most appropriate primary therapeutic exercise intervention focus.

Repeated endurance training promotes what type of physiological change in resting heart rate and blood pressure?

After 3 weeks of training, you decide the patient has greatly increased strength and would like to recalculate the intensity of his resistance training. Besides 1-RM calculation, name one other method you can use to continue to progress the patient’s resistance exercise intensity.

The positive effects of soft tissue mobilization are most likely attributed to:

You have agreed to coach youth basketball. During your first session, each player learns to dribble while standing in place.

According to the taxonomy of motor tasks, which dimension best describes the method you are using to increase task complexity?

Aaron sustained a left anterior shoulder dislocation 8 days ago. He demonstrates muscle guarding through the left upper quarter. Ballistic stretching would be an appropriate intervention to improve left shoulder range of motion at this time. 

Which type of mechanoreceptor is sensitive to light changes of tension and, when activated, signals to the alpha motoneuron to inhibit and decrease tension in the muscle-tendon unit?

A post-ACL reconstruction rehabilitation protocol includes “quadricep sets” during the acute phase of tissue healing. This exercise is an example of which type of muscle contraction?
