  8. Define Dynamic Range of Motion
    Combination of flexibility and the nervous system's to control this range of motion efficiently
  9. Define Neuromuscular Efficiency
    Ability of neuromuscular system to allow agonists, antagonists, and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce, reduce, and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all 3 planes of motion
