Question

stability training helps prevent injury by: *
increasing body fat
improving joint control
making you more flexible only
reducing muscle mass

which pattern is being trained when doing a * single - arm band row?
pull
push
bend
twist

explain why unilateral exercises can improve balance.

Explanation:

For the first question, stability training focuses on enhancing the body's ability to control joints, which is crucial for injury prevention. Increasing body fat and reducing muscle mass are not beneficial for injury prevention, and while flexibility is important, stability training's main role is joint control. For the second question, a single - arm band row involves pulling the band towards the body, so it trains the pull pattern.
For the third question, unilateral exercises (exercises that work one side of the body at a time) require the body to engage more stabilizer muscles. Since only one side is working, the central nervous system has to work harder to maintain balance. This increased activation of stabilizer muscles and the nervous system's adaptation to the asymmetric load lead to improved balance over time.

Answer:

1. Improving joint control
2. Pull
3. Unilateral exercises require more activation of stabilizer muscles and greater nervous system adaptation to asymmetric loads, thus improving balance.
