Answer: What is exercise performed at the same intensity for an extended period without rest?
What is VO2max
What is the maximum amount of oxygen an athlete can uptake and utilize during exercise?
How is fitness commonly defined in exercise physiology?
What energy system predominantly uses glucose and glycogen during high-intensity activities?
What is the ability of muscles to exert force called?
Answer: What is strength?
Describe fartlek training.

200: What happens when an athlete reaches their lactate threshold?
Answer: What is the point where lactic acid begins to accumulate in the muscles faster than it can be removed?
What term describes specific tasks athletes complete to improve their fitness?

Which component of fitness is the ability to change direction quickly?
Answer: What is agility?
What is resistance training?
What are acute physiological adaptations?
Answer: What are immediate changes in the body during exercise, such as increased heart rate?
Name three components of fitness.
Answer: What are aerobic capacity, strength, and flexibility?
Define the term 'energy system.'
Answer: What is a system in the body that resynthesizes ATP to provide energy for physical activity?
Define the term 'aerobic capacity.'
What is the ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity?
Identify a type of interval training.
Define 'chronic physiological adaptations.'
Answer: What are long-term changes in the body due to consistent training, like increased muscle mass?
Why is training, fitness, and energy important for the conditioning of the athlete?
Training, fitness, and energy are essential for athletes as they enhance performance, prevent injuries, and ensure sustained physical and mental resilience.
How does the 'interplay of energy systems' contribute to physical activity?
How do athletes use fitness tests?

Name four types of flexibility training.
Answer: What are dynamic, static, passive, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)?
What is the lactate turn point (LTP)?
Answer: What is the point where lactate accumulates so quickly that muscles can no longer contract properly, leading to fatigue?
