Muscle contraction in which the muscle lengthens.
What is eccentric?
What is eccentric contraction?
This is the approach to training meant to bring about peak performance and reduce injuries throughout various seasons.
What is periodization?
This is the muscle directly engaged in the contraction.
What is the agonist muscle?
This type of training contracts the muscle at a constant velocity and requires the use of a machine.
What is isokinetic training?
This helps prevent sore muscles and should last between 10-15 minutes.
What is a warm-up?
Muscle contraction in which the muscle shortens.
What is concentric?
What is concentric contraction?
Passively stretching of an antagonist muscle.
What is static stretching?
Muscle that relaxes as a result of the other contracting.
What is the antagonist muscle?
This type of training uses gravity and the athlete's body weight, Example: push-ups
What is calisthenic training?
More reps with lower weights.
What is how you build muscle endurance?
The process of training and conditioning that states the body will gradually adapt to the demands imposed on it.
What is the Overload/SAID principle?
Contraction of the muscle in which the muscle does not change lengths.
What is an isometric contraction?
Lower reps with a heavier weight
What is how you build muscle strength?
This type of training works to help stabilize the body improving endurance and neuromuscular control.
What is core stabilization training?
This brings an athlete's body back to its resting state.
What is a cool down?
Ability to generate force rapidly.
What is muscle power?
Maximum force that can be applied by a muscle.
What is muscle strength?
These are genetically determined.
What is the ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch fibers?
This type of training involves the use of various stations designed to help an athlete in multiple areas (flexibility, endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance)
What is circuit training?
Stretching technique that involves alternating between contractions and stretches usually with a partner.
What is PNF?
What is proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation?
Form of interval training that involves continuous activity with random short bursts of high-intensity training.
What is fartlek training?
Muscles whose primary job is maintaining posture against the pull of gravity that require more endurance.
What are slow-twitch fibers?
Bicep curls and push-ups are examples of exercises that undergo this type of muscle contraction.
What is an isotonic contraction?
This type of training helps build cardiorespiratory endurance by maintaining the same level of intensity for long periods of time.
What is continuous training?
What are the main components of the cardiorespiratory system?
