Types of Exercise and Muscles
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Smooth Muscle | Internal orgnans, blood vessels. Don't move much. INVOLUNTARY/NON STRIATED |
Cardiac | Heart only (connected) electricity. INVOLUNTARY/STRIATED |
Skeletal Muses | Move bones/skeleton. VOLUNTARY/STRIATED |
Superior | towards head |
Inferior | away from head |
Anterior | front |
Posterior | back |
Medial | towards the middle |
Lateral | Away from the middle |
Sternocleidomastoid | neck, helps support head (and turn) |
Trapezius | upper shoulder, and back (triangle) Upright row |
Pectoralis Major | chest (bench press) |
rectus abdominos | abs |
Quadriceps | front of upper leg (rectos famoris (front/middle), vastus lateralis (left side on anterior view), vastus medialis, vastus intermedialis (smaller than med. and below) |
Tibialis anterior | shin |
Deltoids | shoulder |
Biceps Brachii | front of arm (in anatomical position) |
Serratus Anterior | "fingers" between ribs |
Exterior oblique | side abs |
Sartorius | "strip" from hip knee |
Gracilis | groin |
gastronemius | upper calf |
soleus | lower calf |
Tricep Brachii | back of arm in anatomical position |
Latissimus Dorsi | back (below trapezius) |
Gluteus Maximus | butt |
Hamstrings | back of upper leg (in anatomical position) [from left to right posterior, bicep femoris, semitendinosius, semimembranosus] |
Cardiorespitory Endurance | how efficient heart and lungs are carrying out moderate to vigorous activity (soccer runny swimming) |
Muscular Strength | the amount or force a muscle can exert |
Flexibility | the ability to move the body through a full range of motion |
body composition | body fat to lean body tissue |
Aerobic | w/ oxygen, speeds up breathing. use large muscle groups. rhythmic, maintained over long period of time (running, swimming, dancing) |
Anaerobic Exercise | w/o air. initially speed up heart rate, but your getting energy from muscles not oxygen (weight training, sprinting, baseball |
Ismoetric | an activity that uses muscle tension to improve muscular strength with little or no movement of the body part (planks) [improves muscular strength/endurance] |
Muscular Endurance | the ability to perform physical tasks over a period of time w/o becoming fatigued |
Isotonic exercise | an activity that combines muscle contraction with REPEATED movement (shake weight, bowflex, pushups, weight room, bench dips) |
Isokinetic | an activity in which a resistance is moved through an entire range of motion at a controlled rate of speed. These activities increase the flexibility of the joints, at the same time improving muscular strength and endurance. |
overload | working the body harder than it is normally worked. builds muscular strength and contributes to overall fitness |
Progression | the gradual increase in overload necessary to achieve higher levels of fitness. as an activity becomes easier to do, increase the number of repetitions of sets to increase the amount of time spent doing the activity. |
specificity | particular exercise and activities improve particular areas of health-related fitness. for example, resistance training builds muscular strength and endurance, while aerobic activity improves cardiorespiratory endurance. |
warm up | activity that prepares the muscles for work. raise body temp, then stretch large muscles. slow activity for 5 minutes. |
The workout | the prat of exercise program where you perform the activity at its highest peak |
F.I.T.T. | frequency, intensity, time, type |
the cool-down | activity that prepares the muscles to a resting state (slowed activity, til 20-30 beats within regular heart rate |
