Ch 20 Part 1 Flashcards
Describes the way in which the body responds and adapts to stress
General adaptation syndrome
Initial reaction to a stressor
Alarm reaction stage
Process by which the human body strives to maintain a relatively stable equilibrium
Homeostasis
Increasing the intensity or volume of exercise programs using a systematic approach
Progressive overload
Body increases it’s functional capacity to adapt to a stressor
Resistance development
Prolonged stress
Exhaustion
Way the body responds to physical activity
Principle of specificity
Refers to weight and movement placed on body
Mechanical specificity
Refers to sped of contraction and exercise selection
Neuromuscular specificity
Refers to energy demand placed on body
Metabolic specificity
Known as the energy currency of body
Atp
Activities that challenge an exercisers balance
Stabilization
Ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time
Muscular endurance
Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers
Muscular hypertrophy
Ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome an external load
Strength
Defined as the rate at which work is performed
Power
Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time
Rate of force production
Specify how each exercise is to be performed
Acute variables
One complete movement of an exercise
Reps
Group of consecutive reps
Set
Individuals level of effort compared with their maximal effort
Training intensity
Sped at which each rep is performed
Rep tempo
Time taken to recuperate between sets
Rest interval
Amount of time of a training session
Training duration
