Alarm Reaction (GAS) |
The initial reaction to the stressor. |
|
Resistance Development (GAS) |
The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor. |
|
Exhaustion (GAS) |
Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion or distress to the system.
|
|
The SAID Principle |
A principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it. |
|
Stabilization (Adaptations for resistance training) |
The human movement systems ability to provide optimal dynamic joint support to maintain correct posture during all movements. |
|
Muscular Endurance (Adaptations for resistance training) |
The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time. |
|
Muscular Hypertrophy (Adaptations for resistance training) |
enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension. |
|
Strength (Adaptations for resistance training) |
The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome an external load. |
|
Power (Adaptations for resistance training) |
The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest amount of force in the shortest time. |
|
Single-Set |
performing one set of each exercise. |
|
Multiple-set |
performing a multiple number of sets for each exercise. |
|
Pyramid |
increasing (or decreasing) weight with each set. |
|

performing two exercises in rapid succession with minimal rest. |
|
Drop-sets |
performing a set to failure, then removing a small percentage of the load and continuing with the set. |
|
Circuit training |
Performing a series of exercises, one after the other, with minimal rest. |
|
Peripheral heart action |
A variation of circuit training that uses different exercises ( upper and lower body) for each set through the circuit. |
|
Split-routine |
A routine that trains different body parts on separate days. |
|
vertical loading |
