HRF Flashcards
Reversibility
Gradually losing fitness instead of progressing or remaining at the current level.
Fitt
Training principle based on frequency, intensity, time and type.
Progressive overload
Gradually increasing the amount of work to improve fitneess.
Individual needs
Personal fitness needs based on age, gender, fitness level the sport for which they are training for.
Specificity
The particular requirements of an activity.
Overtraining
Training beyond your body’s ability to recover.
Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen-rich blood to the working muscle tissues, and the ability of the muscles to use oxygen to produce energy for movement.
Endurance
Endurance fitness is the ability to sustain the necessary activity level for a specific competitive sport. It includes both cardiovascular and muscular endurance required for the sport.
Muscular strength
This is the “power” that helps you to lift and carry heavy objects. Without muscular strength, your body would be weak and unable to keep up with the demands placed upon it.
Flexibility
Flexibility is defined as the range of motion of your joints or the ability of your joints to move freely. It also refers to the mobility of your muscles, which allows for more movement around the joints.
Agility
Agility is the ability to move and change direction and position of the body quickly and effectively while under control. It requires quick reflexes, coordination, balance, speed, and correct response to the changing situation.
Skull
The human skull is the bony structure that forms the head in the human skeleton. It supports the structures of the face and forms a cavity for the brain. Like the skulls of other vertebrates, it protects the brain from injury.
Rib
ribs surround the chest, enabling the lungs to expand and thus facilitate breathing by expanding the chest cavity. They serve to protect the lungs, heart, and other internal organs of the thorax. In some animals, especially snakes, ribs may provide support and protection for the entire body.
Spine
The spine runs from the base of the skull to the pelvis. It serves as a pillar to support the body’s weight and to protect the spinal cord.
Radius
the radius primarily junctions with the carpal bones of the hand at the wrist joint. The two bones play only secondary roles at their opposing joints. The radius is the home for a few muscles’ insertion points.
Femur
As the femur is the only bone in the thigh, it serves as an attachment point for all the muscles that exert their force over the hip and knee joints. Some biarticular muscles – which cross two joints, like the gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles – also originate from the femur.
Scapula
The scapula is commonly referred to as the shoulder blade. It connects the humerus bone of the arm to the collarbone. … The trapezius muscle implants into the collarbone. It is responsible for movement of the shoulder and head.
Quadriceps
The quadriceps femoris is a group of muscles located in the front of the thigh. The Latin translation of ‘quadriceps’ is ‘four headed,’ as the group contains four separate muscles: the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and the rectus femoris.
Gastrocnemius
The gastrocnemius muscle (plural gastrocnemii) is a superficial two-headed muscle that is in the back part of the lower leg of humans. It runs from its two heads just above the knee to the heel, a three joint muscle (knee, ankle and subtalar joints).
Hamstrings
In human anatomy, a hamstring (/ˈhæmstrɪŋ/) is any one of the three posterior thigh muscles in between the hip and the knee.
Tibialis anterior
The tibialis anterior is a muscle in humans that originates in the upper two-thirds of the lateral (outside) surface of the tibia and inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. It acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot.
Bicep
The biceps is a muscle on the front part of the upper arm. The biceps includes a “short head” and a “long head” that work as a single muscle. The biceps is attached to the arm bones by tough connective tissues called tendons.
Tricep
The triceps, also triceps brachii (Latin for “three-headed muscle of the arm”), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped muscle contributing to the thoracobrachial motion. It consists of a clavicular part and a sternal part, both converging to a flat tendon that inserts on the humerus. It’s innervated by both medial and lateral pectoral nerves.
Jaw
Mandible
Aerobic
With oxygen
Anaerobic
Without oxygen
Continuous training
Continuous training is doing a exercise without rest.
Pelvis
Located at the joint of were your legs and spine meets.
Fartlek training
Periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slow running.
Balance
The ability to keep a upright position standing or moving.
