Introduction To Exercise Physiology Flashcards
What is exercise physiology?
The basic and applied science that describe, explain and use body response to exercise and adaption to exercise training to maximize the human physical potential
What is exercise?
Muscular activity that requires energy above resting level
Exercise response
The physiological response
When exercise response happen?
During or immediately following the exercise
What are 3 factors that determine exercise?
Type of actvity
Intensity
What determine type of activity or sport?
- energy demand (aerobic/ anaerobic)
- type of muscle action (continuous, rhythmcal, resistant or static)
What does exercise intensity have?
Maximal
Submaximal
What are parts of submaximal intensity?
Absolute workload
Relative workload
If your exercise duration is longer then your intensity ——?
Lower
What does homeostatic disruption depend on?
Duration and intensity
What is static exercise?
Contraction w/o meaningful movement
