Q

when can physical activity qualify as exercise

A

based on relative intensity

25
Q

true exercise must produce a ____ that stimulates cellular responses and generates ___________

A

stress, potential for new or sustained adaptations

26
Q

principle of overload

A

stress must be applied beyond that which the body is accustomed to promote adaptations

27
Q

principle of progression

A

once the body has adapted to a new level of stress, additional stress is needed to promote further adaptations

28
Q

principle of specificity

A

desired to adaptation occurs in response to specific stress placed upon the body

29
Q

elastic

A

acute response to an unaccustomed level of stress but the system reverts back to the starting condition once the stimulus of stress is removed

30
Q

example of elastic

A

sedentary person walks one mile on a Saturday, experiencing an acute increase in their HR and metabolism but no lasting adaptations

31
Q

plastic

A

repeated stress which causes system improvements due to adequate recurring exposure, chronic adaptations and changes occur

32
Q

example of plastic

A

sedentary person walks one mile, 4x per week for 8 weeks; mild reduction in resting HR, improved aerobic activity

33
Q

physical fitness guidelines describe activity as

A
