PE Weight Training Unit

Question 1

Aerobic Activity

Answer 1

Long duration exercise that relies on the presence of oxygen for the production of energy; may also control body weight, reduce the percentage of body fat, improve the circulatory function, and reduce blood pressure: Ex: aerobic dance, aqua aerobics, cycling, jogging, power walking, recreational dance, inline skating, step aerobics, kickboxing and super circuit.

Question 2

Anaerobic activity

Answer 2

Short duration exercise completed without the aid of oxygen; used to build muscle mass and to improve ability to move quickly and to deliver force Ex: situps and pushups

Question 3

Basic resistance principles

Answer 3

Resistance is the weight or force that is used to oppose a motion. Resistance training increases muscle strength by pitting the muscles against a weight, such as a dumbbell or barbell. The basic principles of resistance training include: type of lift, intensity, volume, variety, progressive overload, rest, and recovery.

Question 4

Biomechanics

Answer 4

The study of human movement and how such movement is influence by gravity, friction, and the laws of motion. It involves the analysis of force, including muscle force that produces movements and impact force that may cause injuries. It explains why motor skills are performed in explicit ways in order to improve their efficiency and effectiveness.

Question 5

Body composition

Answer 5

The makeup of the body in fat free mass (muscle, bone, vital organs, and tissues) and fat mass

Question 6

Circuit Training

Answer 6

A method of physical conditioning in which one moves from exercise to another, usually in a series of different stations or piece of equipment

Question 7
