Adaptation Exercise
when you do new exercises or load your body in a different way, your body reacts by increasing its ability to cope with that new load
Aerobic Exercise
a physical activity that uses your body's large muscle groups, is rhythmic and repetitive
Anaerobic Exercise
any exercise that doesn't use the oxygen in your body as its main source of energy
Cardiovascular Endurance
how well your heart and lungs can supply the oxygen you need while you exercise at medium to high intensity
Cool Down
an opportunity for you to reduce your intensity, bring down your heart rate
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (D.O.M.S)
a sore, aching, painful feeling in the muscles after unfamiliar and unaccustomed intense exercise
Diminishing Return
the decrease in marginal (incremental) output of a production process
Eccentric Exercise
lowering weight slowly and with control and maintaining tension through your muscles
Exercise Heart Rate
about 50-70% of maximum heart rate
Exercise Plateau
workout plateau
F.I.T.T.E. Principle
Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type
Flexibility
the quality of bending easily without breaking.
H.I.I.T. Training
a type of interval training exercise
Isometric Exercise
an exercise that help lower and control your blood pressure.
Muscular Atrophy
the decrease in size and wasting of muscle tissue
Muscular Contraction
characterized by constant muscle tension with a change in muscle length
Muscular Endurance
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
occurs when muscle protein synthesis exceeds muscle protein breakdown and results in positive net protein balance in cumulative periods
Muscular Strength
the amount of force you can put out or the amount of weight you can lift
Overload Principle
the Overload principle states that in order to progress and improve, putting the body under additional stress beyond what is normal is key
Plyometrics
exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength)
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 an exercise
Resting Heart Rate
between 60 and 100 beats a minute
Warm-up
preparing for physical exertion or a performance by exercising or practicing gently beforehand.
