|
Arteriosclerosis
|
One's arteries harden due to cholesterol and fat
|
|
ATP & ADP

|
|
Biomechanics
|
The study of your body. The physiology behind the body.
|
|
Blood Boosting and Blood Doping
|
Training at higher altitudes where there is less air can make one train better where there is more air. Taking blood out of one's body and adding oxygen is an example of blood doping.
|
|

Bulimia
|
Binge and then purge, eating disorder
|
|
Calcium Retention
|
In order to keep your bones strong you need to retain calcium in your bones.
|
|
Carbohydrates -
|
A source of energy mostly associated with anaerobic work 1st carbs, 2nd fat, and 3rd protein burn in that particular order. Simple carbs deal with sugars. Complex carbs take longer to burn.
|
|
carbon Dioxide
|
Carbon dioxide is what we exhale. and it is .03% of the air we breathe
|
|
Center of Gravity
|
one inch above your naval and one inch above your back is the center of gravity.
|
|
Curvilinear Motion
|
Trying to throw straight, but gravity always pulls it down and this results in the creation of the parabola.
|
|
Eating Disorder
|
Irregular eating habits such as bulimia, anorexia and it is also direct effect of the female triad.
|
|
Eccentric Thrust
|
Any force that does not go through the center of Gravity
|
|
Ergogenic Aid
|
Anything that will help your performance
|
|
Estrogen
|
Female growth hormone. Opposite of testosterone
|
|
Fat
|
Energy source, insulation, it is the energy source for aerobic exercise.
|
|
Fatigue
|
lightheaded, you fatigue quicker with anaerobic work
|
|
Female triad
|
Problems that women atheltes have. Eating disorder, amenorrhea, and osteperosis
|
|
Fitness

|
Your body taking in as much heat as it loses.
|
|
Hemoglobin
|

|
increase in the number of muscle cells, new muscles enlarging what you have
|
|
Linear Motion
|
motion in a straight line
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Fast twitch has high levels of atp, has high recovery, and high anaerobic activity, has low mitochondria, low craig cycle, and low break down
|
|
Moment of Inertia
|
an increase or decrease in rotary inertia will result in a comparable change in turning velocity.
|
|
Newton's law of Motion
|
Law of inertia = a body in motion will continue in motion inf a straight path unless acted upon by a force or friction, law of acceleration = a force will accelerate in proportion to the force placed upon it, but inversely to its mass, law of reaction = for every action there is an equal reaction
