Types of Training
100

The ability of a muscle to generate force against some resistance.

Strength

100

The ability to perform whole-body, large muscle activitities for extended periods of time without undue fatique.

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

100

Planning out a week's worth of training.

Microcycle

100

-100

-100

100

A muscle is placed on an eccentric stretch, followed by an explosive concentric contraction.

Plyometric

200

Strength plus speed equals...

Power

200

The objective of aerobic exercise is to elevate your heart rate to a specified rate and maintain it at that level during the entire workout.

Target Heart Rate

200

Planning out a few months of workouts.

Mesocycle

200

A slow, controlled sport-specific movement to warm up and stretch the muscles.

Dynamic Stretching

200

Low-intensity occlusion training for the limbs of the body.

Blood Flow Restriction

300

The ability to perform repetitive muscular contractions against some resistance for an extended period of time.

Endurance

300

It is best to take this heart rate measurement right when you wake up in the morning.

Resting Heart Rate

300

300

300

300

Passively stretching a given antagonist muscle by placing it in a maximal position of stretch and holding it for an extended period of time.

Static Stretching

300

A muscular contraction in which the length of the muscle is changing while the contraction is performed at a constant velocity.

Isokinetic

400

An increase in muscle size.

Hypertrophy

400

This measurement is used to calculate the upper and lower limits of the target heart rate range.

Heart Rate Reserve

400

Planning out 1-4 years of training.

Macrocycle

400

This type of stretching is characterized by stretching, contracting, relax & stretch again.

PNF Stretching

400

These type of contractions can be either concentric or eccentric muscle contractions.

Isotonic

500

A decrease in muscle size.

Atrophy

500

This equation 211 - (.64 X Age) measures your ...

Max Heart Rate

500

To promote peak performance and decrease overtraining, a year's worth of training is broken down into at least 3 training periods throughout the year.

Block Periodization

500

Involves a bouncing movement in which repetitive contractions of the agonist muscles are used to produce quick stretches of the antagonist muscles.

Ballistic Stretching

500

A muscle contracts to increase tension but there is no change in the length of the muscle

Isometric
