Refers to the amount of load or resistance, providing a greater stress, or load, on the body than it is normally accustomed to in order to increase fitness. Stress is your muscles be all ready used to.
Isometric exercise
Type of strength training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction
Isotonic exercise
Muscular contractions occur without movement of the involved parts of the body
Hypertrophy
Enlargement of muscle size
Overtraining syndrome
The results are hormonal, nutritional, mental/emotional, muscular, neurological and other imbalances
Cardiorespiratory endurance
CRE, also known as aerobic fitness, and balls performing exercise at moderate level of intensity for extended period. Improves bodies consumption of oxygen
Tension principle
Maintain slow, continuous tension on muscles to maximize red fiber involvement. Flex the targeted muscles antagonist muscle throughout the set.
Specificity of training principal
What you doing the gym should be relevant and appropriate to your desired outcome. Training must go from general at the beginning to specific does the program progresses.
Concentric muscle contraction
One type of iso tonic contraction; occurs when the muscle shortens.
Eccentric muscle contraction
One type of isotonic contractions; occurs when the muscle lengthens.
Static stretch
Used to stretch muscles when the body is at rest; composed of various techniques that gradually length of the muscle to elongated position and hold a position for 30 seconds to two minutes.
One repetition maximum
The maximum amount of force that can be generated in one maximal contraction.
Target heart rate ranges
Defined as the minimum number of heartbeats of a given amount of time in order to reach the level of exertion necessary for cardiovascular fitness; specific to a persons age gender or physical fitness.
FITT principal for cardiovascular fitness
Frequency. Intensity. Time. Type. The ability of the body to work continuously for extended periods of time.
Muscular endurance
The ability to move your body or an abject repeatedly without getting tired.

Onset is gradual but may also be caused by obesity and sedentary lifestyles

Thrombus
A blood clot forms of blood vestle and remains there. Impedes blood flow.
Oncogenes
Genes that have the potential to cause cancer. And tumor cells, they’re often mutated are expressed at high levels. Most normal cells undergo our program form of rapid cell death when critical functions are altered.
