Fitness Flashcards
Cardiovascular Endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the muscles, so that the whole body can be exercised for a long time.
Strength
the amount of force that a muscle or muscle group can apply against a resistance.
Muscular Endurance
the ability to use muscles over a long time, without getting tired.
Flexibility
the amount of movement possible at a joint.
Body Composition
the percentage of body weight made up by fat, muscle and bone.
Speed
the rate at which someone is able to move, or to cover a distance in a given amount of time.
Agility
the ability to change body position or direction quickly and with control.
Balance
the ability to keep the body’s centre of mass over a base of support.
Coordination
Coordination is the ability to use two or more parts of the body together, efficiently and accurately
Reaction time
Reaction time is the time taken to move in response to a stimulus
Power
Power is a combination of speed and strength.
Specificity
Specificity is matching the training to the sports
Individual need
Individual need is matching training to the individual.
Progression
Progression is gradually increasing the level of training
Overload
Overload is the only way to get fitter is to work your body harder than it normally would.
Reversibility
Reversibility is any improvement or body adaption caused by training will gradually reverse and be lost when you stop training.
Tedium (tedious)
There needs to be variety in your training otherwise it can become boring

Frequency of training -
How often you should exercise
Intensity of training=
How hard you should exercise
Time spent training=
How long you should exercise for
Type of training-
What exercises and methods of training you should use
PAR-Q
Physical activity readiness questionnaire.
Recovery
The time required for the repair of damage to the body caused by training or competition
SMART
Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound.
Aerobic
If exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen muscles need
Anaerobic
If exercise is done in short. Fast bursts, the heart cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles as fast as the cells use them
Heart rate
The number of times the heart beats each minute
Blood pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart as it pumps blood out of the heart and into the arties and it is low when it relaxes between beats
Cardiac output
The amount of blood ejected from the heart in one minute
Stroke volume
The volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction
Hypertrophy
Scientific term for an increase in the size of muscle
Hypo kinetic disease
A disease related to too little activity
Joint
A place where two or more bones meet
Ligaments
A tissue that joins bone to bone
Tendons
A tissue that joins muscle to bone
PEP
Personal exercise programme
Target zone
The range within which an individual needs to work for aerobic training to take place. 60-80%
Training thresholds
The boundaries of the target zone
What are the phases of a warm up
Cardiovascular
Stretching
Sport specific
