Chapter 2: Physical Activity and Exercise for Health and Fitness Flashcards
the ability of the body to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
physical capacities that contribute to health: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition
Health Related Fitness
Muscle, bone, water
Fat-Free Mass
complex control of muscles and movement by the brain and spinal column
Neuromuscular
the performance of different types of activities that cause the body to adapt and improve its level of fitness
Physical Training
The training principle that developing a particular fitness component requires performing exercises specifically designed for that component.
Specificity
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
FITT Principle
the training principle that fitness improvements are lost when demands on the body are lowered
Reversibility
planned, structured, repetitive physical activity that improves or maintains physical fitness
Exercise
any form of movement that causes your body to use energy
Physical Activity
a set of physical attributes that allows the body to respond or adapt to the demands and stress of physical effort
Physical Fitness
the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort
Muscular Strength
the ability to resist fatigue and sustain a given level of muscle tension for a given time
Muscular Endurance
the ratio of body fat to lean body tissue, including muscle, bone, water, and connective tissue such as ligaments, cartilage, and tendons
Body Composition
The training principle that progressively increasing amounts of stress on the body causes adaptation that improves fitness.
Progressive Overload
