The overhead test is a screening assessment used for obtaining general indication of dynamic posture and used periodically to know if exercise interventions are effective. It is a total-body squatting movement which helps to increase core strength and qualify muscle imbalance. It also reinforces proper squatting technique. It is one of recommended exercises for the 2nd Trimester of Pregnancy, they may however need to decrease their range of rotation as her pregnancy progresses.
It also predicts how well a client will do on the Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) which is a chronic condition that causes pain and fatigue and also issues with memory, sleep and mood. Gaining weight and hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can make symptoms worse.
fluid balance is an aspect of the homeostasis of organisms in which the amount of water in the organism needs to be controlled, via osmoregulation and behavior, such that the concentrations of electrolytes (salts in solution) in the various body fluids are kept within healthy ranges. the core principle of fluid balance is that the amount of water lost from the body must equal the amount of water taken in.
