|
active range of motion
|
portion of the total range of motion through which a joint can be moved by an active muscle contraction
|
|
|
aerobic
|
an activiy that requires oxygen
|
|
|
agonist
|
the muscle that is contracting to produce movement
|
|
|
antagonists
|
the muscle that is being stretched when the agonist contracts
|
|
|
anaerobic
|
an activity that does not require oxygen
|
|
|
atrophy
|
a decrease in the size of a muscle
|
|
|
ballistic stretch
|
exercise in which the body momentum is used to force muscle groups into as much extensibilty as can be tolerated.
|
|
|
cardiorespiratory endurance
|
the ability to perform whole body large muscle activities for extended periods of time
|
|
|
circuit training
|
involves the use of a series of exercise stations that consist of various combinations of weight training flexibility calisthenics and berife aerobic exercise
|
|
|
closed kinetic exercise
|
exercise in which the foot or hand is in a weight the muscle is shortened during contraction
|
|
|
core
|
made up of the lumbo pelvic hip complex where the center of gravity is located and all movement begins
|
|
|
eccentric contraction. (negative resistance)
|
the muscle lengthens during a contraction
|
|
|
endurance
|
the ability of the body to undergo prolonged activity
|
|
|
fartlek training
|
mean "speed play" and involves running for a specific period of time without specific criteria placed on pace and speed.
|
|
|
functional strength training
|
the use of integrated exercise to improve functional movement patterns in terms of both increased strength as well as improved neuromuscular control and core stabilization
|
|
|
hypertrophy
|
an increase in size
|
|
|
interval training
|
involves alternating periods of relatively intense work and active recovery
|
|
|
isokinetic contraction
|
a muscle contraction in which the length of the muscle is changing while the contraction is performed at a constant velocity
|
|
|
isometric contraction
|
a muscle contraction that generates energy (in the form of heat) with no chane in length of the muscle or in the angle of the joint at which the contraction take place . a static contraction
|
|
|
isotonic contraction
|
a dynamic contraction that either involves a shortening concentric or a lengthening eccentric of the muslce through a complete range of motion
|
|
|
muscular endurance
|
the ability to perform reptitive muscular contractions against some resistance
|
|
|
muscular strength
|
the ability of the muscle to generate force
|
|
|
muscular power
|
the ability to generate force rapidly
|
|
|
open kinetic chain exercise
|
the foot or hand is not contact with the ground or other object while performing exercise
|
|
|
overload principle
|
training is performed with a progressively increased load or resistance at a near maximal rate
|
|
|
periodization
|
conditioning principle that allows athletes to train year around with less risk of injury of injury
|
|
|
plyometric exercise
|
a type of exercise that produces an isometric type overload using the stretch reflex
|
|
|
progessive resistance exercise
|
isotonic exercise that involves strengthening that muscles through a contraction that overcomes some fixed resistance produced by equipment such as dumbbells barbells tubing and various weight machines
|
|
|
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pnf
|
a type of strength involving alternating contractions and stretches
|
|
|
SAID principle
|
specific adaptation to imposed demands. the body will adapt over time to the demands that are placed on it
|
|
|
slow twitch oxidative (SO) fibers
|
fibers that are aerobic in nature and are present in greater
|
