Physical activity

Back 1

movement carried out by the skeletal muscles that requires energy

Front 2

exercise

Back 2

planned, structured, repetitive movement intended specifically to improve or maintain physical fitness.

Front 3

Health-related fitness

Back 3

includes the following:
Cardiorespiratory endurance
Muscular strength
Muscular endurance

Body composition

Front 4

Cardiorespiratory endurance

Back 4

the ability to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity

Front 5

Muscular strength

Back 5

amount of force of muscle can produce with a single maximum effort

Front 6

metabolism

Back 6

the sum of all the vital processes by which food energy and nutrients are made available to and used by the body

Front 7

muscular endurance

Back 7

the ability of a muscle to remain contracted or to contract repeatedly for a long period of time

Front 8

flexibility

Back 8

the ability to move joints through their full range of motion

Front 9

body composition

Back 9

the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in the body

Front 10

fat-free mass

Back 10

the nonfat component of the human body consisting of skeletal muscle, bone, and water

Front 11

skill (neuromuscular) - related fitness

Back 11

physical capacities that contribute to performance in a sport or activity: speed, power, agility, balance, coordination, and reaction time;

Front 12

physical training

Back 12

the performance of different types of activities that cause the body to adapt and improve its level of fitness

Front 13

specificity

Back 13

the training principle that the body adapts to the particular type and amount of stress placed on it

Front 14

Progressive overload

Back 14

the training principle that placing increasing amounts of stress on the body causes adaptations that improve fitness

Front 15

reversibility

Back 15

the training principle that fitness improvements are lost when demands on the body are lowered

Front 16

exercise stress test

Back 16

test usually administered on a treadmill or cycle ergometer that involves analysis of the changes in electrical activity in the heart from an electrocardiogram taken during exercise; used to determine if any heart disease is present and to assess current fitness level

Front 17

grade exercise test

Back 17

an exercise test that starts at an easy intensity and progresses to maximum capacity

Front 18

overtraining

Back 18

a condition caused by training too much or too intensely, characterized by lack of energy, decreased physical performance, and aching muscles and joints
