0
Q
Overweight
A
- Refers to a person with a body mass index of 25 to 29.9, or who is between 25 to 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height.
1
Q
Obesity
A
-The condition of being considerably overweight, and refers to a person with a body mass index of 30 or greater, or who is at least 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height.
2
Q
Muscle Imbalance
A
- alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint.
3
Q
Blood Lipids
A
- Also known as cholesterol and triglycerides, blood lipids are carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules known as high-density lipoproteins(HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL).
4
Q
Diabetes Mellitus
A
-Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins.
5
Q
Deconditioned
A
- A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability.
6
Q
Proprioception
A
- The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement.
7
Q
Proprioceptively enriched environment
A
- An unstable (yet controllable) physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance stabilization mechanisms.
8
Q
Phases of Training
A
- Smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training.
9
Q
Muscular Imbalance
A
- A muscle’s ability to contract for an extended period.
10
Q
Neuromuscular efficiency
A
- The ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion.
11
Q
Prime Mover
A
- The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power.
12
Q
Superset
A
- Set of two exercises that are performed back to back without any rest time between them.
13
Q
Rate of force production
A
- Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.
