Terms : Hide Images
5567861188FitnessThe ability to meet physical demands; composed of four components: flexibility, strength, muscle endurance, and cardiovascular endurance.0
5568086915Recommended time to work out per work2 hours and 30 minutes1
5567867095Major risk factors for heart diseaseSedentary Lifestyle Family history of heart disease Cigarette smoking High blood pressure High blood cholesterol Obesity Diabetes2
5567882443FIT principleFrequency , Intensity, Time3
5567884339FrequencyNumber of exercise sessions per week; at least three to five sessions per week are recommended4
5567888731IntensityHow hard you exercise, the degree of exertion while exercising . It is recommended that you exercise at 55 to 90 percent of your maximum heart rate (target heart rate)5
5567917987TimeDuration or length of time that you exercise with your heart rate elevated into your target heart rate zone ( the minimum amount is thought to be 20 to 30 minutes per session).6
5567930833OverloadAn extra physical demand placed on the body. A principle of training is that for a body system to improve, its workload must be increased by increments over time.7
5567939087HypertrophyAn increase in size in response to use.8
5567940888AtrophyA decrease in size in response to disuse.9
5567946076StrengthThe ability of muscles to work against resistance.10
5567955401FlexibilityThe ability to bend or extend without injury; depends on elasticity of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and on the condition of the joints.11
5567961824Muscle enduranceThe third component of fitness, the ability of a muscle to keep working for long periods.12
5567972018AerobicRequiring oxygen, sustained activity, use of carbs and fat13
5567973459AnaerobicNot requiring oxygen, use of quick activity, carbs only14
5567975995ATP or adenosine triphosphateA high -energy compound present in all body tissues; when the bonds between any of the tree phosphate groups in ATP are broken, energy is instantly released to power the activities of cells.15
5567982687CP or creatine phosphateA high- energy compound stored in muscle cells; its phosphate group can be split and used to replenish ATP for short bursts of anaerobic activity.16
5568007671GlycolysisAn anaerobic energy metabolism pathway for the partial breakdown of glucose for energy. Energy released in glycolysis is used to form the high-energy compound ATP.17
5568019408Cardiovascular conditioning/ training effectThe effect of regular exercise on the cardiovascular system ; includes improvements in heart, lung, and muscle function and increased blood volume18
5568022788Target heart rateThe heartbeat rate that will achieve a cardiovascular conditioning effect for a given person; fast enough to push the heart, but not so fast as to strain it.19
5568032859Heat strokeAn acute and dangerous reaction to heat buildup in the body, requiring emergency medical attention; also called sun stroke20
5568055872HyponatremiaA deceased concentration of sodium in the blood21
5568062875Signs of hyponatremiaSevere headache, nausea/ vomiting, muscle cramps, bloating, confusion, seizure22
5568041529Sports anemiaA temporary condition of low blood hemoglobin level, associated with the early stage of athletic training.23
5568044135Stress fractureBone damage or breakage caused by stress on bone surfaces during exercise.24
5568046131AmenorrheaCessation of menstruation associated with strenuous athletic training.25
5576121721CaffeineStimulant26
5576123286CreatineStrength & Sprint type performance27
5576124060CarnitineFat burner28
5576126772Max heart rateAge-22029
5576127798Heart rate rangeMax Heart rate x 55 (lower) or 90 (upper limits)30
5576131223Physical activity alone won't help you lose weight. True or FalseTrue31
5576132313How can you increase metabolic rate?You can increase it by exercising daily32
5576134130Does body composition influence your metabolic rate?Yes33
5576141882Moderate activitiesUse glycogen slowly34
5576143115Intense activitiesUse glycogen quickly35
5576144180Fluid replacement drinksSports drinks36
5576144989Ergogenic aidsBad, ineffective use of improving exercise and athletic performance.37
5617291435What is the best physical training program?aerobic, strength training and stretching38
5617311756Types of aerobic physical activityjogging, aerobic dancing, and jumping rope39
5617349326Physical conditioningA planned program or physical activity directed toward improving the function of a particular body system.40
5617400552Does flexibility tend to decrease with age? True of FalseTrue41
5617412535What is the right way to stretch?When you feel a slight strain in the muscle, hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds.42
5617455137What kind of stretches can cause minute tears?Bouncy, rapid stretches43
5617499071What is the job of low- intensity preliminary exercise?It allows the heart ( a muscle) to slowly accelerate and make necessary adjustments in blood flow and oxygen supply, preparing the heart for the work it is about to perform.44
5617536907What is the role of stretching after an activity?It allows the heart to gradually slow its pace.45
5617674215What happens when lactic acid builds up in the muscles?It causes burning pain and can lead to muscle exhaustion within seconds if it is not drained away.46
5617728331How to deal with lactic acid buildup?Relax the muscles, which will allow the circulating blood to bring oxygen to support aerobic metabolism.47
5617863025The aerobic and anaerobic pathways work together to supply energy to the body. True of FalseTrue48
5617933168Informal pulse checkThe rule of thumb: the average resting pulse rate for adults is around 70 beats per minute, but the rate can be higher or lower.49
5617962865The older you are the lower your maximum heart rate is. True or FalseTrue50
5617999691Where does glucose come from?Glucose comes from carbohydrate rich foods like breads, pasta, rice, legumes, fruits, vegetables, milk, and yogurt.51
5618046499How does an athlete follow the glycogen-loading technique?They would exercise intensely without restricting carbohydrates and then gradually cut back on exercise the week before the competition.52
5618070376Person with a desirable body weightPerson will store 25 to 30 pounds of body fat, but only about 1 pound of carbohydrates.53
5618116443Rule of thumb of gauging exercisingIf you can talk normally, you are incurring oxygen debt and are burning more glucose than fat; if you can sing, you aren't getting a cardiovascular workout or burning much of anything (so speed up).54
5618280161The role of the plasmaThe blood circulates through the body and picks up a huge amount of heat that is generated by the working muscles. The plasma than transports heat to our skin, which is expelled through the evaporation of heat.55
5618348649Can too much sodium delay the muscles receipt of water? True of FalseTrue56
5618373801The placebo effectThe belief in the use of the ergogenic aids.57
