Adaptation

the action or process of adapting or being adapted.

Aerobic exercise

Aerobic exercise, also known as "cardio," is any physical activity that increases your heart rate and breathing, and uses oxygen to produce energy.

Anaerobic exercise

Anaerobic exercise is physical activity that produces energy without using oxygen.

Cardiovascular endurance

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.

Concentric exercise

A concentric exercise involves a muscle shortening while it contracts, creating movement.

Cool down

"Cool down" generally refers to bringing down the temperature of something, or to becoming calmer or less intense.

Diminishing return

proportionally smaller profits or benefits derived from something as more money or energy is invested in it.

Eccentric exercise

Eccentric exercise, also known as negative exercise, refers to a type of muscle contraction where the muscle is lengthening under tension.

Exercise plateau

An exercise plateau refers to a period during which your fitness progress stalls despite continuing your regular exercise routine.

F.I.T.T. principle

The FITT Principle is a guideline used in exercise prescription to help structure workout programs.

Flexibility

the quality of bending easily without breaking.

Heart rate

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.

Muscular contraction

Muscular contraction is the process where muscle fibers generate tension, which can result in muscle shortening, lengthening, or maintaining its length

Muscular endurance

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.

Muscular strength

Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to produce force in a single effort.

Overload principle

The overload principle in exercise training means gradually increasing the level of stress on the body to stimulate adaptations and improve fitness.

Plyometrics

Plyometrics is a type of exercise technique that involves rapid and explosive movements, such as jumping and hopping.

Range of motion

Range of motion (ROM) refers to the extent or degree to which a joint can move, typically measured in degrees.

Repetitions

the action of repeating something that has already been said or written.

Warm-up

Prepare for physical exertion or a performance by exercising or practicing gently beforehand.
