Basic Exercise Physiology
This is the balance of the body's internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
This is how energy is provided to the body.
What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)?
This micronutrient plays a vital role in our cardiorespiratory system.
What is Iron?
Muscle found in our internal organs and it is involuntary.
What is smooth muscle?
This type of muscle adaptation occurs first, as the body develops its muscle memory.
What are neural adaptations?
The pacer test.
What is a field test?
This is the most efficient substrate utilized by the body.
What are carbohdyrates?
This is the amount of volume of blood pumped with each beat of the heart.
What is stroke volume?
The large network of nerve fibers that innervate the skeletal muscles of our upper body
What is the brachial plexus?
Occurs 24-58 post exercise and often results in soreness.
What is DOMS? (delayed onset muscle soreness)
This type of test provides clinical measurements of physiological functions.
What is a laboratory test?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What are mitochondria?
The amount of exercise we need to accumulate of moderate intensity per week.
This system originates from the anterior horn of the spinal segments and connect to the major muscles of the body.
What is the PNS?
This lab test (assignment) allowed you to estimate your VO2 max
What is the Rockport 1 mile walk?
Total of all energy transformations that occur in the body
What is metabolism?
When the body enters a state of normalizing heart rate and oxygen levels during exercise.
What is steady state?
This exercise program is defined by having high intensity based exercises cycled between rest and/or lower intensity exercises.
What is HIIT or high intensity interval training?
These two myofilaments overlap to create a muscle contraction.
What is actin and myosin?
Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type
What is the FITT principle?
Energy is neither created nor destroyed but only changed in form
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
This is the process in which glycogen in formed.
What is glycolysis?
This is known as the silent killer and having numbers LESS than 120/80 would mean you do not suffer from this condition.
What is high blood pressure or hypertension?
An athlete that is excels at the 100 meter race, which is high intensity and very short duration would have a higher concentration of this type of muscle fiber.
What is Type IIB?
Allowing resistance to increase and/or changing the program to advance an individuals progression.
What is overload?
