| an exercise in which the speed of movement is constant regardless of the strenght of a contraction | isokinetic exercise |
| a series of exercise stations that consist of various combination of weight training, flexibility, calisthenics, and brief aerobic exercises. | circuit training |
| uses integrated exercises designed to improve functional movement patterns for increasing strength and neuromuscular control by using eccentric, concentric, or isometric contractions in three planes of motion simultaneously | functional strength training |
| a technique of exercise that involves a rapid eccentric(lengthening)stretch of a muscle, followed immediately by a rapid concentric contraction of that muscle for the purpose of producing a forceful explosive movement | plyometric exercise |
| exercises done using body weight as resistance | calisthenic exercises |
| a technique for increasing the ability and efficiency of the muscles of the hip, lower back, pelvis, and abdomen, and for providing stability and a base of support for movement of the extremities. | core stabilization training |
| a type of workout that involves jogging at varying speeds over varying terrain | fartlek |
| alternating periods of relatively intense work with periods of active recovery | interval training |
| a technique used to subjectively rate exercise intensity on a numerical scale | rating of perceived exertion |
| a specific heart rate to be achieved and maintained during exercise | target heart rate |
| a technique that uses exercises performed at the same level of intensity for long periods | continuous training |
| an approach to exercise that takes into consideration frequency, intensity, time, and type of activity | FITT principle |
| a type of muscle fiber that is resistant to fatigue and is more useful in long-term-endurance activites. | slow-twitch muscle fibers |
| a type of muscle fiber used for speed or power activites such as sprinting or weight lifting | fast-twitch muscle fibers |
| measured in a laboratory to determine how much oxygen can be used during 1 minute of maximal exercise | aerobic capacity |
| indicates how much blood the heart is capable of pumping in exactly 1 minute | cardiac output |
| the volume of blood being pumped out of the heart with each beat | stroke volume |
| an activity in which the intensity of the activity is low enough that the cardiovascular system can supply enough oxygen to continue the activity for long periods | aerobic activity |
| an activity in which the intensity is so great that the demand for oxygen is greater than the body's ability to deliver oxygen | anerobic activity |
| prevents pooling of blood and enables the body to cool and return to a resting state | cool-down |
| designed to increase body temperature, stretch ligaments and muscles, and increase flexibility | warm-up |
| the type of physical changes that occur are directly related to the type of training used | specificity |
| engaging in fitness activities on a frequent and regular basis | consistency |
| gradually increasing the level and intensity of exercise | progression |
| exercising at a higher lever than normal | overload |
| when the body is subjected to stresses and overloads of varying intensities, it will gradually adapt, over time, to overcome whatever demands are placed on it | SAID principle |
| body postures and breathing exercises used to help reduce stress | yoga |
| a sequence of carefully performed movements that stretch and strengthen muscles | pilates exercise |
| a group of stretching techniques including slow-reversal-hold-relax, contracting-relax, and hold-relax techniques, all of which involve some combination of alternating contraction and relaxation of both agonist and antagonist muscles. | proprioceptive neuromuscular facillatation(PNF) |
| technique involving passively stretching a given atnagonist muscle by placing it in s msximal position of stretch and holding it there for an extended time. | static stretching |
| technique involving repetitive contractions of the agonist muscle that are used to produce quick stretches of the antagonist muscle | dynamic (ballistic) stretching |
| the muscle being stretched in response to contraction of the agonist muscle | antagonist muscle |
| the muscle that contracts to produce a movement | agonist muscle |
| that portion of the total range of motion through which a joint may be moved passively without muscle contraction producing the movement | passive range of motion |
| that portion of the total range of motion through which a joint can be moved by an active muscle contraction | active range of motion |
| the range of motion possible about a given joint or series of joints | flexibility |
| the use of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or smokeless tobacco | tobacco use |

| organic compounds that primarily contain sterols and sex hormones and are used for increasing lean body weight, muscle mass, and strenght | anabolic steriods |
| the use of drugs for non-medical reasons | drug abuse |
| the responses that occur in the body when the internal balance or equilibrium of the body system is disrupted | stress |
| an excessivley high level of fat in the blood | hyperlipidemia |
| a compound of fat and protein that carries cholesterol | lipoproteins |
