resistance of a body to a change of state when rotating
What is the moment of inertia?
400
The law which states that the magnitude and direction of applied force determines the magnitude and acceleration given to a body.
What is Newtons second law?
400
A hormone that controls red blood cell production.
What is EPO? (erythropoetin)
400
The process of dividing the overall training programme into parts or periods designed to achieve different goals.

400
The pain felt in muscles the day after intense exercise.
What is DOMS (delayed onset of muscle soreness)?
500
The principle that the angular momentum of an object remains constant as long as no external force acts on it
What is conservation of angular momentum?
500
Vector
What is a quantity that has two dimensions (magnitude and direction)?
