a principle of training that states that overload should be increased gradually.

Front 15

ten percent rule

exercising to sustain a desired level of physical fitness

principle of specificity

principle of recuperation

Back 18

the body requires recovery periods between exercise training sessions to adopt to the exercise stress. therefore, a period of rest is essential for achieving maximal benefit from exercise.

the specific type of exercise to be performed

Front 23

warm-up

Back 23

a brief (5- to 15-minute) period of exercise that precedes a workout

Front 24

frequency of exercise

Back 24

the number of times per week that one exercises

Front 25

intensity of exercise

Back 25

the amount of physiological stress or overload placed on the body during exercise

Front 26

duration of exercise

Back 26

the amount of time invested in performing the primary workout

Front 27

cool-down

Back 27

a 5- to 15-minute period of low-intensity exercise that immediately follows the primary conditioning period; sometimes called a warm-down

VO2 max

Back 31

the maximum mount of oxygen the body can take in and use during exercise.

Front 32

Pulmonary circuit

Back 32

The vascular system that system that circulates blood from the right side of the heart, through the lungs and back to the left side of the heart.

Front 33

Pulmonary Circuit

Back 33

The vascular system that circulates blood from the right side of the heart, through the lungs, and back to the left side of heart.

Front 34

Systemic Circuit

Back 34

The vascular system that circulates blood from the left side of the heart, throughout the body, and back to the right side of the heart.

Front 35

arteries

Back 35

the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

Front 36

Veins

Back 36

Blood vessels that transport blood toward the heart
