Performance Enhancement Philosophies

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cardiovascular Fitness   The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to function efficiently when a person exercises the body  
🗑
Muscular endurance   is the ability to sustain submaximal activity for extended periods of time and resist fatigue.  
🗑
Power   is ability to exert muscular strength rapidly. On the field, power combines speed and strength.  
🗑
Speed   is the ability to perform a motor skill as rapidly as possible.  
🗑
Strength   is the maximum amount of force that one can generate in a specific movement pattern at a specific velocity of contraction.   
🗑
Overload   what muscle have to do in order to improve strength  
🗑
specificity   how muscles adapt to nature of work performed.  
🗑
reversibility   when muscles disuse leads to a decrease in strength and muscle mass.  
🗑
periodization   is a systematic training plan used by athletes to train in order to be in the best condition  
🗑
adaptation   Body changes in response to increased training load  
🗑
cardiovascular system   Also known as the circulatory system.  
🗑
Chambers of the heart   4 chambers: 2 Atriums and 2 Ventricles  
🗑
Valves of the heart   4 Valves: Tricuspid, Bicuspid (Mitral), Pulmonary, and Aortic  
🗑
Main Blood Vessles   4 Main Vessels: Vena Cava, Pulmonary Artery, Pulmonary Vein, Aorta  
🗑
VO2 Max   the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise  
🗑
Test to Measure VO2 Max   Harvard Step Test  
🗑
Test to Measure VO2 Max   12 minute run test  
🗑
Anaerobic exercises   is exercise, performed in short or fast bursts in which the heart cannot supply oxygen as fast as muscles use it.  
🗑
aerobic exercises   is steady activity done at an intensity that raises the heart rate into the target heart rate zone.  
🗑
Warm-Ups   used to prevent injury.  
🗑
Cool-down   a period of time where you slow down and walk or perform slow, static stretches.  
🗑
Interval Training   This involves periods of work followed by periods of rest. (anaerobic)  
🗑
Continuous Training   the athlete does not stop working. It improves AEROBIC fitness.  
🗑
Fartlek Training   Swedish word that means SPEED PLAY. Combines fast and slow running.  
🗑
Circuit Training   Involves a number of exercises or stations. It includes strength, endurance, power, flexibility and speed. (aerobic and anaerobic)  
🗑
BORG scale   How we measure the rate of perceived exertion  
🗑
Target Heart Rate   the minimum number of heartbeats in a given amount of time in order to reach the level of exertion necessary for cardiovascular fitness  
🗑
High Altitudes   greater than 2000 meter there is less oxygen  
🗑
Acclimatization   The process in which an individual organism adjusts to a gradual change in its environment.  
🗑
Slow twitch   Type I muscle fibers. More efficient at using oxygen for continuous, muscle contractions over a long time. (aerobic)  
🗑
Fast twitch   Type II muscle fibers. Generate short burst of strength or speed. Fatigue quickly  
🗑
Isometric   muscles contract, but there is no motion in the affected joints.  
🗑
Isotonic   when the muscle lengthens and shortens during movement, with the force remaining constant.  
🗑
Isokentic   machine controlled speed of contraction within range of motion.  
🗑
Concentric   Isotonic contraction that shortens the muscle.  
🗑
Eccentric   isotonic contraction that lengthens the muscle.  
🗑
Open Chain Exercise   when your hand or foot is free to move during an exercise.  
🗑
Closed Chain Exercise   when your hand or foot are in a constant, fixed position.  
🗑
plyometrics   Jump Training that is used for strength and speed.  
🗑
flexibility   ability of the joint to move freely through full range of motion  
🗑
range of motion (ROM)   The entire movement through which a body part can move at a joint.  
🗑
static stretching   Gradual stretching of a muscle through the muscle’s entire range of motion  
🗑
ballistic stretching   stretches that involve rhythmical bouncing action  
🗑
dynamic stretching   continuous, slow, and controlled movement through a joint's range of motion.  
🗑
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)   Combination of contraction and relaxation of muscles  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
