🗑
a contraction where the muscle lengthens when contracting   show
🗑
show hypertrophy  
🗑
show atrophy  
🗑

🗑
show circuit training  
🗑
show functional strength training  
🗑

🗑
show 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.   show

🗑
alternating periods of relatively intense work with periods of active recovery   show
🗑
show rating of perceived exertion  
🗑
show target heart rate  
🗑
a technique that uses exercises performed at the same level of intensity for long periods   show
🗑
an approach to exercise that takes into consideration frequency, intensity, time, and type of activity   show
🗑
a type of muscle fiber that is resistant to fatigue and is more useful in long-term-endurance activites.   show
🗑
a type of muscle fiber used for speed or power activites such as sprinting or weight lifting   show
🗑
measured in a laboratory to determine how much oxygen can be used during 1 minute of maximal exercise   show
🗑
indicates how much blood the heart is capable of pumping in exactly 1 minute   show
🗑
show 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   show
🗑
an activity in which the intensity is so great that the demand for oxygen is greater than the body's ability to deliver oxygen   show
🗑
show cool-down

designed to increase body temperature, stretch ligaments and muscles, and increase flexibility   show
🗑
show specificity  
🗑
engaging in fitness activities on a frequent and regular basis   show
🗑
show progression  
🗑
exercising at a higher lever than normal   show
🗑
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   show
🗑
show yoga  
🗑
a sequence of carefully performed movements that stretch and strengthen muscles   show
🗑
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.   show
🗑
show static stretching  
🗑
technique involving repetitive contractions of the agonist muscle that are used to produce quick stretches of the antagonist muscle   show
🗑
the muscle being stretched in response to contraction of the agonist muscle   show
🗑
the muscle that contracts to produce a movement   show
