Heart rate
100

Flexibility 

The ability to bend and move the joints

through the full range of motion.

100

Static stretching 

A gradual, slow stretch in which the

end position is held for a short time

(10-60 seconds).

100

Agility 

The ability to change body position and

direction quickly and efficiently.

100

Circuit training 

An exercise program in which one

moves around a prescribed course

(i.e. a circuit), stopping at each station

to perform a specified exercise.

100

How to find your heart rate 

inside of your wrist, just below the base of your thumb or on the side of your neck right below your jaw count for 15 seconds and multiply by 4

200

Cardiorespiratory endurance

The ability of your heart, lungs, and circulatory system to supply oxygen and nutrients to your muscles during exercise

200

Intensity 

How much energy you use when you work out

200

Balance 

The ability to maintain the body in

proper equilibrium.

200

Active lifestyle 

A way of life which values physical

activity as an essential part of living;

characterized by the integration of

physical activity into daily routines and

recreation.

200

Exercise heart rate 

Your target heart rate during exercise is the level at which your heart beats with moderate to high intensity

300

Muscular strength 

The maximum amount of force a

muscle can produce in a single effort.

300

Cool down 

A brief (5 to 15 minute) period of low

intensity exercise that immediately

follows the primary conditioning period.

300

Coordination 

The ability to synchronize, or combine

at the same time, movements of several

parts of the body.

300

High-intensity interval training (HIIT)

A combination of cardio and strength exercises that involves short bursts of intense activity followed by brief recovery period  

300

Ambient / resting heart rate 

Your heart rate while you're at rest during the day, while seated and awake

400

Muscular endurance

The ability of a muscle to continue to

perform without fatigue.

400

Warm up 

A brief (5 to 15 minute) period of exercise that

precedes the workout. The purpose of the

warm-up is to elevate muscle temperature and

increase blood flow to the muscles that will be

engaged in the workout, exercise, or competition.

400

Power

The ability to produce maximum force

in the shortest time.

400

Skill related fitness

The parts of fitness needed to

successfully perform dynamic

movement or complex performance

tasks; the 6 components include agility,

balance, coordination, power, speed,

and reaction time.

400

How to calculate max heart rate 

subtract your age from 220

500

Body composition

The high ratio of lean tissue (muscle, bones and others) to fat tissue in the body.

500

Dynamic movements 

An exercise or fitness routine in which

movement, momentum, and active

muscular effort are used to stretch

muscles. End positions are not held.

500

Reaction Time 

The time it takes to respond to what a

person can hear, see, or feel.

500

Health related fitness 

Physical fitness primarily associated

with disease prevention and functional

health; the 5 components include

cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular

strength, muscular endurance, body

composition, and flexibility.

500

How to calculate target heart rate 

Multiply your maximum heart rate by a percentage to get your target heart rate. For example, if you want to exercise at 50% intensity, multiply your maximum heart rate by 0.5. If you want to exercise at 85% intensity, multiply your maximum heart rate by 0.85
