front 1 Adaptation | back 1 the action or process of adapting or being adapted. |
front 2 Aerobic exercise | back 2 Aerobic exercise, also known as "cardio," is any physical activity that increases your heart rate and breathing, and uses oxygen to produce energy. |
front 3 Anaerobic exercise | back 3 Anaerobic exercise is physical activity that produces energy without using oxygen. |
front 4 Cardiovascular endurance | back 4 Cardiovascular endurance, also known as cardiorespiratory endurance or aerobic fitness, refers to the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to efficiently deliver oxygen to the muscles during sustained physical activity. |
front 5 Concentric exercise | back 5 A concentric exercise involves a muscle shortening while it contracts, creating movement. |
front 6 Cool down | back 6 "Cool down" generally refers to bringing down the temperature of something, or to becoming calmer or less intense. |
front 7 Diminishing return | back 7 proportionally smaller profits or benefits derived from something as more money or energy is invested in it. |
front 8 Eccentric exercise | back 8 Eccentric exercise, also known as negative exercise, refers to a type of muscle contraction where the muscle is lengthening under tension. |
front 9 Exercise plateau | back 9 An exercise plateau refers to a period during which your fitness progress stalls despite continuing your regular exercise routine. |
front 10 F.I.T.T. principle | back 10 The FITT Principle is a guideline used in exercise prescription to help structure workout programs. |
front 11 Flexibility | back 11 the quality of bending easily without breaking. |
front 12 Heart rate | back 12 Heart rate refers to the number of times the heart beats per minute (bpm). It is a measure of the cardiovascular system's activity and is typically expressed as a numerical value. |
front 13 Muscular contraction | back 13 Muscular contraction is the process where muscle fibers generate tension, which can result in muscle shortening, lengthening, or maintaining its length |
front 14 Muscular endurance | back 14 Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform repeated contractions or sustained contractions against a resistance for an extended period. |
front 15 Muscular strength | back 15 Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to produce force in a single effort. |
front 16 Overload principle | back 16 The overload principle in exercise training means gradually increasing the level of stress on the body to stimulate adaptations and improve fitness. |
front 17 Plyometrics | back 17 Plyometrics is a type of exercise technique that involves rapid and explosive movements, such as jumping and hopping. |
front 18 Range of motion | back 18 Range of motion (ROM) refers to the extent or degree to which a joint can move, typically measured in degrees. |
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. |
