Ligament
Nutrition
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
The simplest form of carbohydrate used by the body for energy
Glucose
The type of muscle tissue that connects to bones and generates the forces that create movement

Kinesiology
The length of a muscle when it is not actively contracting or being stretched
Resting Length

Growth Plate
Group of organic compounds required in small quantities in the diet to support growth and metabolic processes.
Vitamins
The body's ability to provide optimal dynamic joint support to maintain correct posture during all movements
Stabilization
The action that occurs when an artery supplying the heart with blood and oxygen becomes blocked; medically known as a myocardial infarction.
Heart Attack
Muscle Fibers that are small in size, generate lower amounts of force, and are more resistant to fatigue.
Type I Muscle Fibers - Slow Twitch
Small, often round bones embedded in a joint capsule or found in locations where a tendon passes over a joint
Sesamoid Bone
A protein source that provides all essential amino acids
Complete Protein
The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time
Muscular Endurance
A chemical bond that connects two amino acids
Peptide Bond
Muscle Fibers that are large in size, generate higher amounts of force, and are more resistant to fatigue.
Type II Muscle Fibers
Bones that house the spinal cord; consists of cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral regions.
Vertebral Column
