Question
Answer
Flexibility*   the ability to move body joints through a full range of motion  
🗑
Joint*   where two bones come together (ex: wrists, elbows, etc.)  
🗑
Types Of Joints   hinge, ball & socket, pivot, gliding  
🗑
Hinge Joint   permits a back & forth motion (ex: knee)  
🗑
Ball & Socket Joint   allows movement in many different directions (ex: hips, shoulder)  
🗑
Pivot Joint   permits a rotating motion (ex: neck)  
🗑
Gliding Joint   allows bones to slide over one another (ex: wrist, ankle)  
🗑
How Joint Movement Is Limited*   the direction in which a joint moves cannot be changed because of structure  
🗑
Ligament*   attaches bone to bone  
🗑
Muscle*   surround the bone  
🗑
Tendon*   muscles to bone  
🗑
Importance Of Flexibility*   reduces injuries, prevents post-exercise pain, reduces chance of low back pain, helps relieve emotional tension  
🗑
Static Stretching*   most acceptable method of increasing flexibility that you hold for 15-30 seconds (good)  
🗑
Dynamic Stretching*   similar positions as static, but is done in a slow & controlled manner (good)  
🗑
Ballistic Stretching*   involves bouncy, jerky movements using the body’s momentum (bad)  
🗑
Isostatic Stretching*   a partner pushes you beyond your initial limit while you relax (good/bad)  
🗑
Cardiovascular Fitness   the body’s ability to provide oxygen continuously to muscles as work is performed over an extended period of time  
🗑
Components Of Cardiovascular Fitness   circulatory system & respiratory system  
🗑
What The Circulatory System Includes   heart, blood, & blood vessels  
🗑
What The Respiratory System Includes   lungs & air passages  
🗑
Arteries   carries blood away from the heart (circulatory)  
🗑
Veins   carries blood towards the heart (circulatory)  
🗑
Amount Of Blood Body Holds*   about 12 pints  
🗑
Pulse Cause   by the pressure of the blood on the artery wall  
🗑
Best Locations For Pulse*   wrist & neck  
🗑
How To Measure Your Heart Rate   locating your pulse, counting it for 10 seconds, & multiplying by 6  
🗑
Average Normal Heart Rate For An Adult   60-100 beats per minute  
🗑
Best Time To Measure Your Resting Heart Rate   as soon as you wake up  
🗑
A Person With A Lower Resting Heart Rate Is...   active  
🗑
A Person With A Higher Resting Heart Rate Is...   inactive  
🗑
Greatest Cardiovascular Benefits Are Attained When...   your heart rate increases to 60-90% of your maximum heart rate  
🗑
Formula For Finding Target Heart Rate*   220 - age = maximum heart rate, than multiply number by .6 (beginning workout) or .9 (intense workout)  
🗑
Recovery Heart Rate   heart rate after you exercise  
🗑
Guiding Principle For Your Recovery Heart Rate   5 minute after you exercise = 120 beats per minute & 10 minutes after you exercise = 100 beats per minute  
🗑
Blood Pressure   the measure of blood force against the walls of the arteries  
🗑
Average Range Of Blood Pressure For Young Adults*   120/80  
🗑
Systolic Pressure*   the top number of your blood pressure (ventricles contract)  
🗑
Diastolic Pressure*   the bottom number of your blood pressure (ventricles relax)  
🗑
Aerobic*   exercise that uses a large amount of oxygen for a sustained period (ex: jogging, swimming, cycling)  
🗑
Anaerobic*   activity at a pace using oxygen faster than the body replenishes (ex: 20-yard dash, 50-meter freestyle swimming)  
🗑
Muscular Strength   ability of a muscle group to apply maximal force against resistance one time  
🗑
Muscular Endurance   ability to repeat muscle movement over a period of time  
🗑
Slow Twitch Fibers*   red fibers, large amount of blood supplied directed to them, best suited for aerobic or muscular endurance activities, &do not tire easily  
🗑
Fast Twitch Fibers*   white fibers, fast to contract so allows explosive muscular contractions, best suited for anaerobic or muscular strength activities, & fatigue easily  
🗑
Isometric Exercise*   force against a stationary object where muscles tighten and contract, but do not change length (ex: planks, wall sits)  
🗑
Isotonic Exercise*   weight is moved through a range of motion which is excellent for muscular fitness development (ex: barbell curl)  
🗑
Isokinetic Exercise*   resistance is adjusted to force which uses specifically designed machines (ex: stationary bike, rower, leg press)  
🗑
Repetition*   completion of a single, full range movement of the body part being exercised  
🗑
Set*   group of repetitions performed one after the other  
🗑
Poor Food Choice Consequences   excessive weight gain, skin problems, stress, & fatigue  
🗑
Fad Diets   promote quick weight loss with no balanced diet (can create issues)  
🗑
Essential Nutrients   carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, & water  
🗑
Purpose Of Nutrients   fuel to keep your systems of the body working  
🗑
Proteins   help to rebuild tissues in the body, important in the growth of the muscles, last supply of energy after carbs & fats (meat, beans, fish, nuts, etc.)  
🗑
Amino Acids   building blocks of protein that regulate almost all metabolic processes in the human body  
🗑
Carbohydrates   primary source of energy (cereal, whole wheat breads, pasta)  
🗑
Fiber (Nutrition)   carbohydrate that comes from the material that makes up plant cell walls, helps waste move through the body system helps avoid illness (whole wheat bread, fruits, vegetables, cereals)  
🗑
Fats   yields twice as much energy as protein or carbs, but not as easy to use  
🗑
Saturated Fats   "bad" fats found in meat, poultry, milk, & cheese  
🗑
Unsaturated Fats   "good" fats found in olive oil & nuts  
🗑
Cholesterol   waxy, fat like substance found in the cells  
🗑
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)   good cholesterol that helps remove extra stuck on the walls of blood vessels (olive oil, garlic, fish, nuts, & beans)  
🗑
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)   bad cholesterol that leads to build up on the artery wall (butter, full fat cheeses, full fat yogurts, & egg yolks)  
🗑
Minerals   necessary for the body to grow, develop, & stay healthy (calcium, phosphorus, iron, & iodine)  
🗑
Vitamins   organic chemical substances found in small amounts in food aid in the utilization & absorption of nutrients  
🗑
Water   makes up 65% of your body weight, helps carry dissolved waste products from the body, helps to digest food, aids in carrying nutrients throughout the body  
🗑
Things To Look For On A Food Label   serving size, calories & fat, percent daily values, vitamins & minerals, ingredients, reading a nutrition label  
🗑
