What is muscular strength?
The ability of a muscle to exert maximum force against resistance.
What is muscular endurance?
The ability of a muscle to perform repeated contractions without getting tired.

the ability of a joint (or a group of joints) to move through its full, unrestricted range of motion.
What is cardiovascular endurance?
This measures how well your heart and lungs work together to fuel your body with oxygen.
What are the 5 types of body mass?
Organs, bones, skeletal muscle, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat
What is the rep range for muscular strength?
1-5 reps
What is the rep range for muscular endurance?
12-20+
What is static stretching?
Holding a stretch in a still position for 15–60 seconds
What is aerobic exercise mean?
Literally means "with oxygen." Activities that are rhythmic and sustained
Where is subcutaneous fat located?
directly under the skin.
What does anaerobic exercise mean?
High-intensity exercise that happens without enough oxygen to meet energy demands
What is an example exercise of muscular endurance?
What is dynamic stretching?
Active movements where joints/muscles go through a full range of motion
What does pacing your self mean?
Managing your speed/energy so you can finish a workout without burning out too early.
Where is visceral fat located?
deep in the abdominal cavity, surrounding vital organs
What is an example exercise of muscular strength?
push-up, pull-up, etc.
What is an everyday example of muscular endurance?

After a workout (Cool-down) when muscles are warm.
What does steady state mean?
Maintaining a consistent intensity for an extended period.

Body composition is a better health indicator than weight because it distinguishes between fat mass and muscle mass.
What is an everyday example of muscular strength (not a specific exercise)?
Lifting up a box, picking your backpack off the floor etc.
Explain the Energy Balance Equation.
If Input (calories eaten) > Output (calories burned) = Weight Gain. If Input < Output = Weight Loss.
When is the best time to do dynamic stretching?
Before a workout (Warm-up) to prepare the body for movement.
How does oxygen go from the air to your muscles?
Air -> Lungs -> Heart -> Bloodstream -> Muscles.
