front 1 Adaptation | back 1 something produced to adjust to different conditions or uses, or to meet different situations |
front 2 Aerobic exercise | back 2 involves continuous, rhythmic activities that elevate your heart rate and breathing, using oxygen to produce energy |
front 3 Anaerobic exercise | back 3 short, intense activity that uses stored energy within muscles, rather than relying on oxygen for energy |
front 4 Cardiovascular endurance | back 4 the ability of your heart and lungs to efficiently deliver oxygen to your muscles during sustained physical activity |
front 5 Concentric exercise | back 5 a type of muscle contraction where the muscle shortens as it contracts against resistance |
front 6 Cool down | back 6 the process of easing your body back to a resting state after physical activity |
front 7 Diminishing return | back 7 as one input in a production process is increased while all other inputs are held constant, the marginal output (the additional output from that input) will eventually decline |
front 8 Eccentric exercise | back 8 involve muscle contractions where the muscle lengthens while resisting force, commonly known as "negatives" |
front 9 Exercise plateau | back 9 occurs when your body stops making progress, even with continued effort, due to adaptation to your current workout routine. |
front 10 F.I.T.T. principle | back 10 a framework for designing exercise programs, standing for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type |
front 11 Flexibility | back 11 the quality of bending easily without breaking. |
front 12 heart rate | back 12 between 60 and 100 beats per minute |
front 13 Muscular contraction | back 13 the process by which muscles shorten and generate force. |
front 14 Muscular endurance | back 14 the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions over a prolonged period without fatigue |
front 15 Muscular strength | back 15 the ability of a muscle to exert force against a resistance |
front 16 Overload principle | back 16 the body will adapt and improve in response to progressively increasing demands placed upon it. |
front 17 Plyometrics | back 17 exercises that involve rapid stretching and contracting of muscles, typically through jumping or explosive movements, to improve muscle power and speed |
front 18 Range of motion | back 18 the extent of movement a joint can achieve in all directions |
front 19 Repetitions | back 19 the action of repeating something that has already been said or written. |
front 20 Warm-up | back 20 prepare for physical exertion or a performance by exercising or practicing gently beforehand. |
