TERMINOLOGIES Flashcards
Implementation of different exercises to your workout routine to enhance different areas of our body’s fitness
CROSS TRAINING
Physical activities designed to improve overall fitness, endurance, strength, flexibility, and agility
CONDITIONING EXERCISES
A dangerous medical condition that occurs when our core temperature drops below the normal temperature of a human body
HYPOTHERMIA
The highest number of beats per minute (bpm) your heart can safely achieve during intense physical activity
MAXIMUM HEART RATE
The number of heartbeats per minute when you are at complete rest, typically measured right after you wake up in the morning, before getting out of bed.
RESTING HEART RATE
A structured approach to setting, working toward, and evaluating fitness goals in a repetitive, continuous manner.
EXERCISE GOAL CYCLE
Mental or Physical Effort
EXERTION
A simple yet effective exercise that targets your thigh muscles, especially the quads, and improves muscular endurance.
WALL SIT
Bodyweight movement designed to strengthen the lower back, shoulders, glutes, and core
SUPERMAN EXERCISE
A lower body exercise that involves stepping one leg forward and bending both knees while keeping your torso upright.
LUNGES
It is how your body uses food to get energy and keep you alive
METABOLISM
When your body doesn’t have enough water. It can happen if you don’t drink enough or lose too much water from sweating, illness, or hot weather.
DEHYDRATED
A weight training concept based on the belief that muscle strength and muscle endurance exist on a continuum with strength represented by the 1RM (the 1 repetition maximum; the maximum load that can be overcome by a single effort) and muscle endurance represented by the ability to exert a lower force repeatedly over time.
STRENGTH MUSCULAR CONTINUUM
It is a bodyweight exercise that involves moving from a standing position to a plank position and back up again.
SQUAT THRUST
It is a bodyweight exercise that targets your abdominal muscles, hip flexors, and lower back. This is an exercise that helps you build a strong core.
SIT UPS
The scientific study of how forces interact with the body, focusing on movement, posture, and performance.
BIOMECHANICS
This refers to bending movements reducing angle between the body parts.
FLEXION
An injury involving overstretched or torn muscles and tendons around the ankle, usually due to sudden twisting or overuse.
STRAINED ANKLE
Overstretched or torn ligaments cause a sprain.
SPRAINED ANKLE
A type of brain injury that happens after a head injury, or a forceful knock to the head resulting in temporary disruption of brain function.
CONCUSSION
Refers to a condition in which muscle fibers do not fully develop to their normal size, resulting in small fibers that have not matured properly.
HYPOTROPHY
It is a process where a body part, tissue, organ, or cell decreases in size.
ATROPHY
It is an increase and growth of muscle cells. It refers to an increase in muscular size achieved through exercise
HYPERTROPHY
Affects muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin. It can be direct such as a blister or bruise at the sight of external force, or they can be indirect injuries caused by internal forces such as a strain or sprain.
SOFT TISSUE INJURY
