Components of Fitness
What is muscle endurance?
This is the ability of the muscle to generate force over time
What is the overload principle?
The principle states that you must gradually increase your workout intensity to improve.
The main function of this system is to deliver oxygen to and remove waste from muscles.
What is the cardiorespiratory system?
This type of contraction occurs when a muscle lengthens under tension.
What is an eccentric contraction?
This refers to the range of motion available at a joint.
What is flexibility?
The maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise is called this.
What is VO2 Max?
What is the specificity principle?
The principle of this suggests that specific exercises will improve particular body parts.
This type of exercise strengthens the heart and improves endurance.
What is aerobic?
The process of increasing muscle size through strength training is known as this.
What is hypertrophy?
This type of stretching involves slow, controlled movements.
What is static stretching?
What is agility?
This term refers to the ability to change body position quickly and control movements.
This term refers to the concept that fitness gains are lost when regular exercise stops.
What is the principle of reversibility?
This is the term for the body's ability to sustain prolonged, rhythmic exercise.
What is cardiorespiratory endurance?
This type of muscle fiber is most efficient for endurance activities like distance running.
What are slow-twitch fibers?
The best time to stretch for flexibility gains is at this point during your workout.
What is after the workout?
Flexibility is primarily improved through this type of training.
What is stretching?
What is 150 minutes?
The recommendation for how long adults should engage in moderate-intensity exercise each week.
The formula used to estimate your maximum heart rate.
What is 220 minus your age?
A strength training method where you hold a muscle contraction without movement.
What is isometric training?
This type of stretching involves bouncing movements and is not recommended for most people.
What is ballistic stretching?
What is balance?
The ability to maintain the body's position, either moving or stationary, is known as balance.
What is the recovery principle?
The principle that emphasizes the need to rest between intense exercise sessions is called this.
During exercise, this organ pumps blood throughout the body to deliver oxygen to muscles.
What is the heart?
This is the term for how many times you lift a weight in one set during strength training.
What is a repetition?
Stretching can help prevent this common injury that occurs when muscles are overused or overstretched.
What are muscle strains?
