Strength Curve

Back 17

A graphical representation of how the human body generates and applies force in a specific direction.

Force

Back 18

The interaction that creates work, action, or physical change. Such as a push or a pull or lift.

Front 19

Fmax

Back 19

An aspect of the strength curve that stands for force max

Front 20

Tmax

Back 20

Aspect of the strength curve that stands for time max.Measurement of how long it takes from the beginning of upwards (concentric) movement to exert maximum force (Fmax).

Front 21

Functional Strength

Back 21

A category of strength that can improve the ability to perform everyday tasks or sports skills, builds overall strength and balance, and augments resistance to injury

Front 22

Amortization Phase

Back 22

Also known as the Transition Phase. One of three parts of a standard resistance training exercise, and represents the brief time between the concentric and eccentric phase of a movement

Front 23

Ballistic Stress

Back 23

Commonly used by individuals to help them to develop and improve explosiveness and power in the body. This is achieved by accelerating and releasing weight into free space.

Front 24

Ballistic Movement

Back 24

Muscle contractions that exhibit maximum velocities and accelerations over a very short period of time. They exhibit high firing rates, high force production, and very brief contraction times

Front 25

Plyometrics

Back 25

Exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing both speed and power

Front 26

Compensatory Acceleration Training CAT

Back 26

weight lifting technique used to develop explosive strength whereby you accelerate the bar as leverage improves through the movement

Front 27

Weight Training

Back 27

physical training that involves lifting weights

Front 28

Periodization

Back 28

how ones training is broken down into discreet time periods called macrocycles, mesocycles and microcycles

Front 29

General Adaption Syndrome GAS

Back 29

short term and long term reactions to stress

A syndrome in which non-specific reactions of organisms to stress can be grouped into three stages: Alarm, Resistance, and Exhaustion

Front 30

Supercompensation

Back 30

post training period during which the trained function has a higher performance capacity then it did prior to the training period

Front 31

Fitness Fatigue Model

Back 31

At any time, preparedness is the difference between the positive effects of fitness and the negative affects of fatigue

Front 32

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness DOMS

Back 32

The pain and stiffness experienced in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise

Front 33

Flushing Workout

Back 33

Cleansing a muscle of metabolic toxins by increasing the blood supply to it through exertion

Front 34

Overreaching

Back 34

An accumulation of training and/ or non-training stress resulting in a short-term decrement in performance capacity with or without related physiological and psychological signs and symptoms of overtraining in which restoration of performance capacity may take from several days to several weeks.

Front 35

Constant Resistance

Back 35

Weight training technology wherein the weight you are lifting always remains the same, regardless of changing leverage throughout a given exercise movement. The standing example of constant resistance training is lifting a dumbbell or a barbell.

Front 36

Variable Resistance

Back 36

Strength training equipment which can, through the use of elliptical cams and other such technology, vary the amount of weight being lifted to match the strength curve for a particular exercise. Nautilus machines, for example, provide this feature.

Front 37

Overload Principle

Back 37

States that a greater than normal stress or load on the body is required for training adaptation to take place

Front 38

Accommodating Resistance

Back 38

weight training machine which, through the use of air, fluid or clutch plates in tandem with a flywheel, controls the speed with which you are able to move

Front 39

Static Contraction

Back 39

A type of training that focuses on a way of developing the most muscle mass and strength through the smallest amount of motion and time in the gym

Front 40

Isometric Exercise

Back 40

A type of strength training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction

Front 41

Calisthenics

Back 41

system of exercise movements, without equipment, for the building of the strength, flexibility, and physical grace. The Greeks formed the word from “kalos” (beautiful) and “sthenos” (strength).

Front 42

Unstable Surface Training

Back 42

A training method in which unstable surfaces are used to enhance general balance and contraction potential throughout the body.

Front 43

Valsalva Maneuver

Back 43

If the glottis (the narrowest part of the larynx) is closed following full inspiration and the expiratory muscles are fully activated, the compressive forces of exhalation can increase the intrathoracic pressure from 2 or 3 mm Hg to upwards of 100 mm Hg above atmospheric pressure.
