Ch. 8-12 - Terms (Cardiorespiratory/Core/Balance/Pylometric/SAQ Fitness Training) Flashcards
Define cardiorespiratory fitness
ability of the circulatory & respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activities
Define integrated cardiorespiratory training
CR training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiological, physical, & performance adaptations by placing stress on the CR system
Define general warm-up
low-intensity exercise that don’t related to the more intense exercise
Define specific warm-up
low-intensity exercise that mimic those included in the more intense exercise
Define frequency
number of training sessions in a given time
Define intensity
level of demand placed on the body
Define VO2R (oxygen uptake reserve)
difference b/w resting & max oxygen consumption
Define Tvent (ventilatory threshold)
ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake
- signifies a switch f/predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production
Define overtraining
excessive training resoling in fatigue (also caused by lack or rest & recovery)
Define core
makes up the LPHC (limbo-pelvic hip complex)
- includes the lumbar spine, pelvic girdle, abdomen, & hip joint
Define drawing-in maneuver
recruit the local stabilizers by drawing the novel in toward the spine
Define bracing
contraction of the abdominal, lower, back, & buttock muscles at the same time
Define balance
when the body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement
(ex: handstand)
Define dynamic balance
ability to move and change direction under various conditions w/out falling
(ex: running on uneven surfaces)
Define plyometric training
exercises that generate quick, powerful movements involving an explosive concentric muscle contraction preceded by an eccentric muscle action
Define integrated performance paradigm
to move w/efficiency, forces must be dampened (eccentrically), stabilized (isometrically), & then accelerated (concentrically)
Define speed
ability to move the body in one intended direction as fast as possible
Define stride rate
number of strides taken in a given amount of time (or distance)
Define stride length
distance covered w/each stride
Define frontside mechanics
proper alignment of the lead leg & pelvis during sprinting
- includes ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion, & a neutral pelvis
Define backside mechanics
proper alignment of the rear leg & pelvis during sprinting
- includes ankle planter flexion, knee extension, hip extension, & neutral pelvis
Define agility
ability to accelerate, stabilize & change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture
Define quickness
ability to react & change body position w/maximal rate of force production
