| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A functional measure of physical fitness based on the measurements of maximal oxygen uptake. | Aerobic Capacity |
| With oxygen | Aerobic |
| Without oxygen | Anaerobic |
| The force that blood exerts against the walls of the blood vessels and that makes the blood flow through the circulatory system. | Blood Pressure |
| The capacity of your heart, blood vessels, and lungs to function during vigorous, sustained activity such as running, swimming, and cycling. | Cardiorespiratory Endurance |
| The main exercise portion of a workout with a training intensity level at a heart rate approximating 75% of the difference between resting and maximal heart rates. | Conditioning Period |
| The tapering off period after completion of the main conditioning bout, with activities such as slow jogging, walking, and stretching the major muscle groups. | Cool-Down |
| A powerful muscle pump responsible for blood circulation. | Heart |
| The number of times the heart beats per minute. In most cases the number of beats each minute is equal to the number of pulse beats per minute. | Heart Rate |
| The term used to describe the pain resulting from general overall weakness of the structures in the lower spinal region. | Low-back Pain |
| The highest attainable heart rate for an individual. | Maximal Heart Rate |
| A structural unit of muscle often called a muscle cell. | Muscle Fiber |
| The capacity of a muscle to exert a force repeatedly or to hold a fixed or static contraction over a period of time. | Muscular Endurance |
| The physiological fact that a muscle subjected to a greater-than-normal load will increase in size and strength. | Overload Principle |
| It is the essential respiratory gas for life processes in the cell. | Oxygen |
| The number of consecutive contractions performed during each weight training exercise. | Repetitions |
| The maximum load that can be lifted a given number of times for a particular weight training exercise. | Repetitions Maximum |
| The number of bouts performed for each weight training exercise. | Set |
| The term used to describe the many physiological changes that result from participation in vigorous, muscular fitness activities. | Training Effect |
| A heart-beat rate (or pulse rate) per minute during exercise that will produce significant cardio-respiratory benefits. | Training (target) Heart Rate |
| The exercise portion of your workout that is geared to preparing your body for more vigorous exercise bout. | Warm-up |
| The poundage used for particular weight training exercise. | Load |
