Ch. 8-12 - Terms (Cardiorespiratory/Core/Balance/Pylometric/SAQ Fitness Training)

Question 1

Define cardiorespiratory fitness

Answer 1

ability of the circulatory & respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activities

Question 2

Define integrated cardiorespiratory training

Answer 2

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

Question 3

Define general warm-up

Answer 3

low-intensity exercise that don’t related to the more intense exercise

Question 4

Define specific warm-up

Answer 4

low-intensity exercise that mimic those included in the more intense exercise

Question 5

Define frequency

Answer 5

number of training sessions in a given time

Question 6

Define intensity

Answer 6

level of demand placed on the body

Question 7

Define VO2R (oxygen uptake reserve)

Answer 7

difference b/w resting & max oxygen consumption

Question 8

Define Tvent (ventilatory threshold)

Answer 8

ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake

- signifies a switch f/predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production

Question 9

Define overtraining

Answer 9

excessive training resoling in fatigue (also caused by lack or rest & recovery)

Question 10

Define core

Answer 10

makes up the LPHC (limbo-pelvic hip complex)

- includes the lumbar spine, pelvic girdle, abdomen, & hip joint

Question 11

Define drawing-in maneuver

Answer 11

recruit the local stabilizers by drawing the novel in toward the spine

Question 12

Define bracing

Answer 12

contraction of the abdominal, lower, back, & buttock muscles at the same time

Question 13

Define balance

Answer 13

when the body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement
(ex: handstand)

Question 14

Define dynamic balance

Answer 14

ability to move and change direction under various conditions w/out falling
(ex: running on uneven surfaces)

Question 15

Define plyometric training

Answer 15

exercises that generate quick, powerful movements involving an explosive concentric muscle contraction preceded by an eccentric muscle action

Question 16

Define integrated performance paradigm

Answer 16

to move w/efficiency, forces must be dampened (eccentrically), stabilized (isometrically), & then accelerated (concentrically)

Question 17

Define speed

Answer 17

ability to move the body in one intended direction as fast as possible

Question 18

Define stride rate

Answer 18

number of strides taken in a given amount of time (or distance)

Question 19

Define stride length

Answer 19

distance covered w/each stride

Question 20

Define frontside mechanics

Answer 20

proper alignment of the lead leg & pelvis during sprinting
- includes ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion, & a neutral pelvis

Question 21

Define backside mechanics

Answer 21

proper alignment of the rear leg & pelvis during sprinting
- includes ankle planter flexion, knee extension, hip extension, & neutral pelvis

Question 22

Define agility

Answer 22

ability to accelerate, stabilize & change direction quickly while maintaining proper posture

Question 23

Define quickness

Answer 23

ability to react & change body position w/maximal rate of force production
