What is the principle of specificity?

 Your training must go from highly general—such as lifting weights and cardio— to very specific so it includes performing that exercise or skill.

100

Axial skeleton

skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, and rib cage  

100

period of preparation for physical activity characterized by gradual increases in
heart/respiratory rate, metabolism, and body temperature

Warm up

100

Calorie

 heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius; used to quantify the energy
conveyed through food – in the U.S. a kilocalorie (kcal) is synonymous with a calorie but is actually 1000x more energy

DR ABC

Danger

Response

Airway

Breathing

Commence (CPR)

200

What is progressive overload?

Continuing to change and increase weight or differentiating joint angles to allow the body to adapt and adjust to change.

200

uses synovial fluid to reduce frictional stresses and allow for
considerable movement between the associated articulating bones

Synovial Joint
200

Volume


Measure of work performed during an exercise bout, includes the intensity and either the
frequency or duration of movement

200

Carboydrates

primary fuel for physical activity and run the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain

200

Push down _________times at a rate of ___________ compressions / minute

30

100-120

300

What is overtraining?

Training at a level of intensity without adequate rest that creates a physical and a physiological response the decreases performance.

300

fibrous bands of connective tissue that support internal organs and hold bones
together at joints

Ligament

300

Duration of time in between exercise bouts; allows for energy system replenishment and
adaptations to occur. Inadequate recovery increases the risk for injury, illness, and overtraining; excess
recovery limits fitness improvements

Recovery Period

300

 non-starch polysaccharide vital to digestive and overall health and comes in two major dietary forms

Fiber

300

Push down to a depth of ______ 

1-2 inches

400

What is a structural exercise?

An exercise the directly loads the spine.

400

What are the three types of muscles

Cardiac, Smooth, Skeletal 

400

is defined as the process of initiating, directing, and grading purposeful voluntary movement

Motor Control

400

amino acids that cannot be produced within the body and must be consumed in the diet

Essential

400

What do you call for?

911 and AED machine

500

What is a plastic response?

A semi-permanent change to the body as a result of repeated exercise.

500

relationships help facilitate smooth force production; one muscle contracts while
the muscle on the opposite side of the joint relaxes (neural regulation)

Agonist-Antagonist

500

Who is your favorite teacher

Mudbone

500

________- fats are present in various processed and fast foods such as meats,
pastries, and chips 

Trans
