(Ex Phys, Muscle Fitness, Cellular Respiration)
The study of how the body responds and adapts to exercise.
What is Exercise Physiology?
This substance is produced when glucose is broken down during intense exercise.
What is lactate?
What is muscle fatigue?
This principle refers to gradually increasing training stress to stimulate adaptation.
What is overload?
This macronutrient is the primary fuel source for high-intensity exercise.
What are carbohydrates?
This body system pumps blood and delivers oxygen to working muscles.
What is the cardiovascular system?
This value represents the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during exercise.
What is VO2 max?
This type of soreness typically appears 24-72 hours after exercise.
What is DOMS?
These four words make up the FITT principle.
What are Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type?
This is the stored form of glucose in the body.
What is glycogen?
What is ATP?
This term describes the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate faster than it can be cleared.
What is lactate threshold?
This type of fatigue originates in the muscle itself rather than the nervous system.
What is peripheral fatigue?
This term describes planned variation in training over time.
What is periodization?
This timing refers to when nutrients are consumed in relation to exercise.
What is nutrient timing?
These are the three main stages of aerobic cellular respiration.
What are Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain?
What is cardiac output?
What is the nervous system?
This principle explains loss of fitness when training stops.
What is reversibility?
This is one common warning sign of dehydration during exercise.
What is thirst? OR What is dark urine? OR What is dizziness?
This type of metabolism uses oxygen to produce ATP during longer-lasting activity.
What is aerobic metabolism?
What is increased stroke volume?
These two lifestyle factors strongly influence recovery & fatigue.
What are sleep and hydration?
This training principle states that adaptations are specific to the type of training performed.
What is specificity?
These two things help maintain performance during long-duration exercise.
What are carbohydrates and fluids?
