Q

Chemical Energy

A

In the human body, potential energy is stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. Chemical energy is the form of potential energy in which energy is stored in chemical bonds.When those bonds are formed, chemical energy is invested, and when they break, chemical energy is released.

25
External Obliques
Abdominal muscles that aid in lateral flexion, contra-lateral rotation, and breathing.
26
Fascia
Connective tissue forming sheaths around muscles, supporting and structuring the body.
27
Flexibility
The ability of a muscle to stretch when needed.
28
Flexion
The act of bending a joint or decreasing the angle between two body parts.
29
Closed Chain
Exercises where hands and feet are fixed, like push-ups and squats.
30
Inferior
Situated below or lower than another part of the body.
31
Intra-abdominal Pressure
Pressure in the trunk during exertion and breathing for spinal protection.
32
Isometric Contraction
Muscle tension without movement, maintaining the same position.
33
Internal Obliques
Abdominal muscles aiding in lateral flexion, contra-lateral rotation, and breathing.
34
Chain
A series of joints working together for a motor task.
35
Kinetic Energy
Energy a body possesses due to its motion.
36
Lateral
Relating to the sides or outermost parts of the body.
37
Mechanical Energy
Energy of an object that is moving or has the potential to move more.
38
Medial
Pertaining to the middle or center, nearer to the medial plane of the body.
39
Mobility
The range of motion available around a joint, facilitated by the surrounding muscles.
40
Motor Skills
A motor skill is a function that involves specific movements of the body's muscles to perform a certain task. These tasks could include walking, running, or riding a bike. In order to perform this skill, the body's nervous system, muscles, and brain have to all work together.
41
Motor Nerves
Nerves conveying information from the CNS to muscles.
42
Non-declarative Memory
Non-declarative memory is when you learn things almost automatically. It's about picking up habits, getting used to new stuff, and learning skills like bike riding or puzzle solving without much thought.
43
Open Chain
The Kinetic Chain is a method used to describe human movement, divided into either an open kinetic chain (OKC) or a closed kinetic chain(CKC). In an open kinetic chain, the part farthest from the body (e.g., foot or hand) moves freely and isn't fixed to an object. In a closed kinetic chain, this part is stabilised. Thus, an open chain movement usually involves a single joint moving (e.g., arm curl, leg curl) against some form of angular resistance. A closed chain movement involves multiple joints moving, usually against a linear resistance (e.g., bench press, squat).
44
Passive Range of Motion
Range of motion achieved with external assistance, like by a therapist.
45
Passive Stability
Holding a position, also known as isometric contraction.
46
Parasympathetic System
Part of the autonomic nervous system, responsible for rest and recovery.
47
Peripheral Nervous System
The system consisting of sensory and motor nerves connecting the CNS to the rest of the body.
48
Periodization
Long-term planning of training programs. Pain
49
Pain
A complex and subjective experience, involving physical and emotional aspects.
50
Posterior
The rear side of the body.
51
Potential Energy
Stored energy due to position, weight, or tension, ready to be released.
52
Programming
The process of writing a training program.
53
Proximal
Situated nearer to the centre of the body or the point of attachment.
54
Psoas Major
Muscle involved in hip flexion and lower back extension and lateral flexion.
55
Outer Core Unit
Consists of the obliques, rectus abdominis, gluteus muscles, and latissimus dorsi.
56
Quadratus Lumborum
Quadratus Lumborum fixes the 12th rib to stabilize diaphragm attachments during inspiration. Lateral flexes the vertebral column, Extends lumbar vertebrae.
57
Rectus Abdominus
Muscle responsible for trunk flexion and an important player in breathing.
58
Sensory Nerves
Nerves that receive sensory input and convey it to the central nervous system.
59
Somatic Nervous System
Your somatic nervous system is a subdivision of your peripheral nervous system, which is all of your nervous system except your brain and spinal cord. Your somatic nervous system allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body.
60
Muscle Contraction
The process of muscle tissue tensing or contracting.
61
Stability
The ability to control movement or maintain a position.
62
Static Contraction
Muscle tension without movement, similar to isometric contraction.
63
Superior
Situated above or higher than another part of the body.
64
Sympathetic System
Part of the autonomic nervous system, responsible for the body's fight or flight response.
65
Tension to Task
The appropriate amount of core tension for the task at hand.
66
Thoracolumbar Fascia
Connective tissue linking arms and legs, consisting of anterior, posterior, and medial layers.
67
Transversus Abdominus
Muscle involved in rotation, flexion, and lateral flexion of the trunk.
68
Unilateral
Involving one side of the body, like training one arm or leg.
69
Boyle's Law
The principle that the pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases.
70
Center of Gravity
The point where the weight of a body is balanced in all directions.
