Components of Fitness
This component is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen during exercise.
What is cardiovascular endurance?
This system includes the heart, blood, and vessels.
What is the cardicac system?
This energy system is used for short, explosive movements (0–10 seconds).
What is the ATP-PCR system?
Continuous exercise at a steady pace (e.g., jogging).
What is continuous training?
This principle means training must match the demands of the sport.
What is specificity?
This component allows a joint to move through its full range of motion.
What is flexibility?
This system is responsible for breathing and gas exchange.
What is the respiratory system?
This system produces energy without oxygen and lasts up to about 2 minutes.
What is the glycolytic system?
Training that alternates between high and low intensity.
What is interval training?
This principle involves gradually increasing training load over time.
What is progressive overload?
The ability to exert force in one maximal effort.
What is muscular strength?
This system works with muscles to allow movement and support.
What is the skeletal system?
This system uses oxygen and is dominant in long-duration activities.
What is the oxidative system?
Training that improves strength using weights or resistance.
What is resistance training?
This principle highlights the need to rest and repair the body.
What is rest?
This component is the ability to perform repeated muscle contractions without fatigue.
What is muscular endurance?
During exercise, heart rate increases. This is an example of what type of change?
What is a response?
What system(s) are used during a game of rugby?
What is all of them (ATP/Glycolytic/Oxidative)?
Training that involves a series of different exercise stations.
What is circuit training?
This principle focuses on how often you train each week.
This component combines speed and strength (e.g., jumping).
What is power?
An increased stroke volume or stronger heart over time is an example of what?
What is an adaptation (chronic adaptation)?
This by-product causes muscle fatigue in the glycolytic system.
What is lactic acid?
Short bursts of maximum effort followed by rest.
What is HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)?
This principle refers to how hard you train.
What is intensity?
