power
amount of time needed to start moving
reaction time
cover of a distance in a short period of time
speed
get fit for what you train for
exercise specificity
muscle must be overworked from its starting point in order to gain strength
overload
once muscle adapts to exercise, must increase
progression

intensity
amount of time per exercise period
duration
in the presence of oxygen
aerobic exercise
in the absence of oxygen
anaerobic exercise
stronger heart, increased blood routes, more red boold cells, stronger lung power increased
Cardiovascular Endurance
amount of air in one breath
vital capasity
amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort
muscular strength
using machines with resistance
isokinetic
using free weights
isotonic
push or pulling against fixed resistance
isometric
tough bands of tissue that connect skeletal muscle to bones
tendons
tough bands of connective tissue that hold bones together at joints
ligaments
places where two or more bones come together
joints
ability to contract a muscle repeatedly without fatigue
Muscular endurance
range of motion of joints
flexability
a variety of products such as dietary supplements, stimulant drugs and mechanical devices that supposedly enhance preformance. some are beneficial, some are dangerous and illegal
Erogenic Aids
correlates body weight with body height
BMI
a condition in which a person has a BMI of 18.5
underweight
A condition in which a person has an excess amount of weight against a given standard. BMI greater than 25, less than 30.
overweight
a conditon in which the body has excess body fat. Over 30% more than the desirable weights with a BMI over 30
obesity
All of the chemical changes that take place in cells
metabolisim
the most common explanation of individual differences in weight loss and weight gain is..
variations in human metabolism
measures proportion of fat and lean body tissue
body composition
the body consits of
lean mass
water
fat
needed for normal physiological function. found within tissues and consituits about 3% of total weight in men and about 12% of toal weight in women.
Essential Fat
Fat stored just below the skin and around the major organs of the body.
Storage fat
storage fat
subcutaneous fat
What holds suncutaneous fat in place?
starnds of connective tissue
fat cells that buldge out from accumulated bady fat.
cellulite
used in research. uses a very low does beam of x-ray energy to measure total fat. May consider it the gold standard for body fat assestment. NOT available to the massses.
Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
most accurate but difficult and time consuming. Requires special equiptment and is used primarily in research settings. In essence it compars "regualr" weight with weight taken when under water.
Hydrostatic Weighing
air displacement. body volume is caculated by subtracting the air volume with the person inside the chamber form the air volume of an empty chamber. AS ACCURATE AS HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING, but not avaliable to the public
Bod Pod
anthropometric measurement technique. uses calipers to measure skinfolds thickness. extremely accuarate.
Skinfold measurement
low grade electrical current is passed through the body.
Bioelectrical Impedance
measure distribution rather than percentage of body fat.
waist circumference (waist to hip ratio)
A weight regulating mechanism that controls appetite and the amount of fat that is stored much like a thermostate. If body weight decreases, the body increases appetite and vice versa.
Setpoint therory
inherited metablolisms that enable a person to store much of the excess energy as body fat and thus were able to survuve when food was scarce. EXCEPT food is not scarce so they just kepp storing this extra fat and keep eating.
"thrifty metabolism"
physiological drive to seek and eat food.
hunger
psychological desire to eat specific foods
appetite
feeling that enough food has been eaten, releives hunger and turns off appetite
satiety
structure in brain plays important rol ein controlling hunger and steity
Hypothalamus
protein secreated by fat cellss reduces the urge to eatby signaling the hypothalamus to stop producing an appetite-stimulating nuerotransmitter called neuropeptide Y
leptin
disrupt the normal chemical environment od the brain resulting in unusual eating behaviors
depressed?....eat.
