Adaptation exercise
your body's physiological response to training
Aerobic exercise
a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching and strength
Anaerobic exercise
a type of exercise that breaks down glucose in the body without using oxygen
Cardiovascular endurance
Cardiovascular fitness refers to a health-related component of physical fitness that is brought about by sustained physical activity.
Cool down
Cooling down is the transition from intense physical activity to a more typical activity level.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (D.O.M.S)
Any type of activity that places unaccustomed loads on muscle may lead to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This type of soreness is different from acute soreness, which is pain that develops during the actual activity.
Diminishing return
proportionally smaller profits or benefits derived from something as more money or energy is invested in it.
Eccentric exercise
Eccentric training is a type of strength training that involves using the target muscles to control weight as it moves in a downward motion.
Exercise heart rate
measures how fast the heart is beating while they exercise
Exercise plateau
a frustrating stagnation in progress despite maintaining your usual routine
F.I.T.T.E. principle
Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type should be used individualised to the clients needs
Flexibility

the ability to continue contracting a muscle, or group of muscles, against resistance, such as weights or body weight, over a period of time
Muscular hypertrophy
an increase in muscle mass
Muscular strength
Physical strength is the measure of an individual's exertion of force on physical objects. Increasing physical strength is the goal of strength training
Overload principle
in order to progress and improve, putting the body under additional stress beyond what is normal is key
Plyometrics
Plyometrics, also known as jump training or plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.
Range of motion
the extent or limit to which a part of the body can be moved around a joint or a fixed point
Repetitions
the action of repeating something that has already been said or written.
Resting heart rate
the number of times your heart beats per minute when you are at rest
