Flexibility 101
100
This term represents the body's ability to deliver oxygen effectively to the working muscles.
What is Cardio Respiratory Endurance
100
This term describes the minimal level of exercise required to achieve benefits.
What is the Threshold of Training
100
This term represents the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle per minute.
What is Cardiac Output?
100
This type of exercise is defined by the exertion of force against an immovable object, and is considered a static contraction.
What is Isometric Exercise.
100
This type of flexibility uses momentum generated from repeated bouncing and is NOT recommended when stretching.
What is ballistic stretching
200
This principle states that an increased workload must be placed on the body to make improvements.
What is the principle of overload.
200
This term describes the upper and lower limits of training, and the optimal level of exercise required for improvement.
What is the target zone
200
These three terms represent the ways that energy is expended by the body
What are basal metabolism, work, and excretion of waste.
200
These two terms represent. 1. the performance of a movement through the full range of motion and 2. a number of movements performed in sequence
What are repetitions and sets.
200
This device is used to measure the angles of joints, which allows us to measure flexibility.
What is a goniometer
300
This principle states that programs should be designed to meet specific goals
What is the principle of specificity.
300
The FITT Formula represents a basic consideration of any exercise program. Explain the components of the FITT formula
Frequency Intensity Time Type
300
This method for measuring body composition is defined by the following equation Height in meters squared divided by weight in kilograms
What is BMI - Body Mass Index
300
These types of muscular contractions occur while the force is generated by the muscle changing in length
What are concentric and eccentric contractions
300
The slow moving into a stretch position and holding for a certain period of time
What is static stretching
400
This principle state that inactivity leads to a gradual erosion of benefits achieved.
What is the principle of reversibility.
400
These two components of a fitness program are important for prevention of injury and the return to a normal state following activity
What are warm up and cool down.
400
Caloric Expenditure is always in some form of balance in the body. There are three ways this can be expressed. Explain.
What is positive, neutral, or negative.
400
To build muscular strength and endurance there is a relationship between repetitions and resistance. What is this relationship for both strength and endurance.
Endurance - High reps lower resistance Strength - Low reps higher resistance.
400
This technique involves the relaxation of muscle to be stretched by contracting the opposite muscle
what is the contract-relax technique
500
This principle states that "as fitness increases, gains become less and less as an individual approaches the limits of adaptability
What is the principle of diminishing returns.
500
What is the formula for calculating target heart rate zone. What would the target zone be for a 20 year old individual
220-age, 55-90% of that number max heart rate 200 55% - 110 90% - 180
500
Measurement of body composition can be done in several ways. We discussed a few of these in class. Name and explain two different methods of body composition analysis.
Hydrostatic weighing Skinfold measurement Dual Energy X-Ray Bioelectrical Impedance
500
This type of muscle contraction occurs while the muscle is lengthening.
What is an eccentric contraction.
500
We cited 4 causes for decreased flexibility in this chapter name at least three.
sedentary lifestyle age high body fat Stress
