muscles that consist of individual muscle cells, connected in bundles called fascicles
What are muscle fibers
100
a tough band of fibrous tissue that connects a muscle to a bone or other body part and transmits the force exerted by the muscle
What is a tendon
100
The maximum amount of resistance that can be moved a specified number of times
What is RM
100
this exercise uses a weight or load through a joint's full range of motion and typically can be see when training with free weights
What is a constant resistance exercise
100
set specific goals
choose exercises
choose number of sessions per week - frequency
choose starting weights - to define intensity
choose starting number of sets and repetitions - time
monitor your progress
What components are necessary in a workout design
200
the development of larger and stronger muscle fibers
What is hypertrophy
200
tough and resilient tissue that acts a cushion between the bones in a joint
What is cartilage
200
the number of times an exercise is performed during one set
What is repetition
200
an exercise where the load is changed to provide maximum load throughout the entire range of motion on a machine where a person has a better leverage and can exert more force
What is variable resistance exercise
200
perform a plank
What exercise would you do to gain overall strength
300
inactivity of the muscle fibers resulting in small and weakened muscles
What is atrophy
300
a disc of specialized cartilage that provides additional cushioning at the knee joint
What is the meniscus
300
an isometric exercise that causes a muscle contraction without changing the length of the muscle or angle in the joint
What is static exercise
300
a sudden eccentric loading and stretching of muscles followed by a forceful concentric contraction developing explosive strength, for example, jumping up and off a bench
What is plyometrics
300
enabling you to maintain good posture, stabilizing the spine, protecting against neck and back injuries
how does increased muscular strength and endurance help protect you from injury
400
the improvement in the body's ability to recruit motor units, brought about through strength training
What is muscle learning
400
a primary movement in a joint to the maximum range
What is extension
400
an isotonic exercise causing a muscle contraction and a change in the length of the muscle and angle of the joint
What is a dynamic exercise
400
weight machines
free weights
resistance bands
stability balls
medicine balls
tires and fire hoses
What are different types of equipment and other training methods used in a muscle strength workout
400
training combining aerobics, weight training, high intensity intervals and flexibility
What is cross training
500
a tough band of soft tissue that connects the end of the bones to other bones to support joints
What is a ligament
500
three muscles on the back of the thigh
Where are the hamstrings located
500
moving a load as rapidly as possible
What is speed loading
500
lunges and squats
What exercises would you use to develop quad strength
500
use proper lifting techniques, use a spotter and collars with free weights, be alert for injuries
What steps should you take to increase safety when completing a workout
