Ch.18 Anaerobic Training

Front 1

The ratio of carbom dioxide produced by tissue metabolism to oxygen consumed in the same metabolism.

Back 1

Respiratory Quotient (RQ)

Front 2

An insufficient supply of oxygen a certain area of the body.

Back 2

Ischemia

Front 3

A training approach, particularly for new clients, that suggests performing exercises for deficient muscle groups first in an exercise bout.

Back 3

Priority System

Front 4

A training approach that utilizes the principle of neural preparation similar to a specific warm-up which requires exercisers to increase weight while decresing reptitions in subsequent sets.

Back 4

Pyramid System

Front 5

A training approach in which the general concept is to perform one set of exsercise immediately followed by a different exercise, with only transitional rest between sets.

Back 5

Superset System

Front 6

A training approach based on the superset concept, used primarily for performance enhancement, emphasizing the combination of neuromuscular crossover between strength and power by performing a select number of repetitions to volitional failure followed by a similar exercise with less resistance at a faster speed.

Back 6

Contrast System

Front 7

A training approach using a combinationof agonist, or agonist/ antagonist exercises used in a grouping with varying rest periods.

Back 7

Complex System

Front 8

A training approach, also referred to as strip sets, that is a hypertrophy technique that increases the demands on a particular muscle by using a set of repetitions to volitional failure then reduces the weight and begins the subsequent set without a rest interval.

Back 8

Drop Set System

Front 9

A training approach usually comprised of a total body complex training system consisting of 12-15 exercises. Each is performed for a predefined time period or peririon range before moving to the next exercise.

Back 9

Circuit System

Front 10

A training approach in which a group of exercises are selected with a designated number of repetitions with a goal to complete all the repititions of the exercises in the shortest period of time. The periodis dependent upon the exercieser's ability to recover.

Back 10

Lactate Tolerance System

Front 11

A training approach which required exercisers to lift a resistance that is greater that their 1 RM, usually 105%-125% of maximum, by performing a controlled eccentric movement followed bu a spot-assisted, concertric movement.

Back 11

Negative Set System

Front 12

A hormone secreted by th pituitary gland which is responsible for promoting bone and muscle growth in the body.

Back 12

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Front 13

A hormone secreted by the testes responsible for the development and maintenance of male secondary sex characteristics.

Back 13

Testosterone

Front 14

A stretching of the muscle into signbificant deformation or torn fiber due to excessive tension.

Back 14

Muscle Strains

Front 15

A stretching of the ligaments usually occuring when the joint becomes unstable during exertion, or after a fall or sudden movement that violently pulls or twists the body.

Back 15

Ligament Sprains

Front 16

A condition in which there is a defect in the vertebrae, usually the lower lumbar, typically caused by a stress fracture to the bone.

Back 16

Spondylolysis

Front 17

A condition marked by an instability between two involved vertebrae caused by genetic inheritance or a trauma to the upper the two vertebrae.

Back 17

Spondylolisthesis

Front 18

An abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.

Back 18

Scoliosis
