TERMS 1
The amount of force a muscle can exert/produce in a single maximum effort
Muscular Strength
The ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly or to sustain a contraction over time. The muscles ability to resist fatigue
Muscular Endurance
What does the acronym F.I.T.T. stand for?
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
List one of the 6 components of fitness excluding Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance
Cardio, Flexibility, Body Composition
This is an estimation maximum possible rate the heart is capable of beating. It is calculated by
Subtracting your age from 220
The visible definition of a muscle
Muscle Tone
This is one complete movement pattern of an exercise. ie. this is one full bicep curl from the full extension to contraction.
Repetition
List one Training Variable
Increase the load, increase the reps, increase number of sets, decrease rest between sets, change the order of exercises
Program ideal for students who can train 2-3 days per week, working all major muscle groups each session.
Whole Body
What are one of the functions of bones
support, attachment sites for ligaments/tendons, serve as levers, enable movement, protect organs, store calcium, phosphorus, sodium, etc
The increase in muscle fiber size, due to an increase in the fibers' cross-sectional area
Hypertrophy
Training used to develop explosive strength or power. Useful for sports involving jumping. It involves a quick contraction/extension movement.
Plyometrics
Pain felt 24-48 hours after exercise. Believed to be microscopic tearing of the muscle fiber.
Delayed Soreness
Program for students who can train 2-3 days per week and want to combine cardio with weight training
Circuit
Name a type of bone
Long, short, flat, irregular, Sesamoid
The decrease in muscle fiber size caused by inactivity or periods of disuse
Atrophy
P.R.E. Gradually overloading the weight as your muscles adapt to training.
Term: Every individual has a genetically based limit for improvement
Ceiling Limit
This system involves increasing reps on each successive set. It may involve changing light to heavy and then back to light.
Pyramid Set
Connective tissue of muscle to bone
Tendons
A muscular contraction with little or no change in joint angle (pushing against an immoveable object)
Isometric Contraction
Muscular contraction involving movement of the joint
Isotonic Contraction
Term: Most training benefits are lost within 4 - 8 weeks of sedentary activity.
Detraining
Negative Reps
Connective tissue of bone to bone
Ligaments
