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.
