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.
