get educated about the problem
to manage his weight, john stopped eating at MacDonalds. He has been packing a fruit, turkey or tuna sandwich, and a bottle of water for four months. He is considered to be in the stage of the transtheoretical model.
action

muscular endurance
which of the following statement is true
hormonal differences do not allow women to achieve the same amount of muscle hypertrophy as men
exercises in which muscles are lengthened gradually through the joint’s complete range of motion are referred to as
PNF
PNF stretching
involves an isometric contraction
might be the most important health-related component of physical fitness in the older adult population because of its contribution to independent living
muscular strength

muscular endurance
the human body burns about calories for each liter of oxygen consumed
5

skill related fitness
the immune system does not communicate with the brain via
catecholamines
a significant amount of is necessary to perform a double back somersault with a full twist
agility
sleep deprivation
hampers behavioral patterns
improvements in reaction time and speed are limited and seem to be related to
genetic endowment
only percent of college students report sleeping 8 hours daily
8
the principle of training applies to skill-related components just as it does to health related fitness components
specificity
when stress reaches mental, emotional and psychological limits

the one-foot stand test is used to measure
balance
the body’s mental, emotional and physiological response to any situation that is new, threatening, frightening or exciting is called
