Part 1: Chp. 2

Question 1

plyometric

Answer 1

high-intensity movements, such as jumping, involving high-force loading of body-weight during the landing phase of the movement that takes advantage of the stretch-shortening cycle

Question 2

regressions

Answer 2

offering participants ways of modifications to decrease intensity and complexity

Question 3

progressions

Answer 3

systematic process of applying overload like adding more resistance

Question 4

range of motion (ROM)

Answer 4

number of degrees that an articulation will allow one of its segments to move

Question 5

adherence

Answer 5

the extent to which people regularly follow an exercise program

Question 6

rehearsal moves

Answer 6

moves that mimc an upcoming conditioning exercise usually done during the warm-up phase

Question 7

neuromuscular efficiency

Answer 7

ability of the neuromuscular system to allow muscles that produce movement and muscles that provide stability to work together synergistically as an integrated functional unit

Question 8

tendon

Answer 8

a band of fibrous tissue forming the termination of a muscle and attaching it to the bone

Question 9

ligament

Answer 9

connects bones together

Question 10

lactic acid

Answer 10

a metabolic byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis; when it accumulates it decreases blood pH and slows down enzyme activity and causes fatigue

Question 11

delay fatigue

Answer 11

the decline in ability of a muscle to generate force

Question 12

ratings of perceived exertion (RPE)

Answer 12

a scale that provides a standard means for evaluating a participants perception of exercise effert

Question 13

stretch reflex

Answer 13

an involuntary motor response that, when stimulated, causes a suddenly stretched muscle to respond with a corresponding contractaction

Question 14

muscle spindles

Answer 14

the sensory organ within a muscle that is sensitive to stretch and thus protects the muscle against too much stretch

Question 15

Golgi Tendon Organs

Answer 15

a sensory organ within a tendon, that when stimulated, causes an inhibition of the entire muscle group to protect against too much force

Question 16

Specificity

Answer 16

exercise training principle explaining that specific exercise demands made on the body produce specific response by the body
physiological changes caused by training are specific to performed activities

Question 17

progressive overload

Answer 17

gradual increase of physiological stress placed on the body during a program of exercise training

Question 18

Reversibility

Answer 18

principle of exercise training that suggests that any improvement in physical fitness due to physical activity is entirely reversible with the discontinuation of the training program

Question 19

Four Components of Physic Fitness

Answer 19

Muscular Fitness, Cardiovascular Endurance, Flexibility, Body Composition, Mind Body Vitality (sometimes included)
