25 x7 Flashcards
The level of demand that a given activity places on the body
Intensity
Repeated practice of motor control processes, which lead to a change in the ability to produce complex movements.
Motor Learning
Chemical messengers that cross synapses to transmit electrical impulses from the nerve to the muscle.
Neurotransmitter
Looks at how chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy
Bioenergetics
An individuals level of effort, compared with their maximal effort, which is usually expressed as a percentage.
Training Intensity
Aspect of a relationship characterized by similarity, agreement, or congruity
Rapport
The superior chamber of the heart that receives blood from the veins and forces it into the ventricles.
The Atrium
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
Muscle Imbalance
The ability to sense changes in either external or internal environments
sensory function
The state in which the body metabolism is elevated after exercise. It has been shown that splitting the training session into multiple session has the greatest impact
EPOC or excess post exercise oxygen consumption.
A low intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow.
General Warm-Up
blood pressure of 140/90 or higher
Hypertension
Acts as a medium to deliver and collect essential products to and from the tissues of the body.
Blood
Maintaining a state of balance in the alignment of the kinetic chain.
Postural Equilibrium
Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension
Hypertrophy
The number of training sessions performed during a specified period (usually 1 week)
Training Frequency
The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns
Relative Flexibility
Small terminal branches of an artery, which end in capillaries
Arterioles
Positioned farthest from the center of the body.
Distal
Groups of muscles that are recruited by the central nervous system to provide movement.
Muscles Synergies
The length of time an individual is engaged in a given activity
Time
Amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
Protein
Sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of that change. musculotendinous junction. sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of tension change. causes relaxation to prevent xs stress/injury.
Golgi Tendon Organs
The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor.
Resistance Development
An action that is not dependent on oxygen for proper execution
Anaerobic
