force

- SI unit used to estimate force is the Newton - movement concepts such as rotation, couples, resultant forces, resisting forces, joint forces, joint reaction forces, ground reaction forces, inertial forces, gravitational forces, center of pressure, and force line

sequential force

tendons

- connective tissue wrapped around muscles, giving individual muscle fibers support and stability

Endomorph

- fat and often pear-shaped, with narrow shoulders and wide hips, with small ankles and writs but more fat on the torso, arms and legs - shot put and wrestling

Dairy

- foods that are fat-free or low-fat - milk products retaining calcium content (cheese, yogurt, etc) are in the dairy group - cream, butter, cream cheese, and others having little or no calcium are NOT.

endorphin

- greek for morphine within - hormones that bring feelings of well-being and euphoria - released during Glycogen depletion - exercise accesses the body's glycogen stores to supply energy.

Ectomorph

- long, narrow, thin shape body with minimal muscle or fat - long distance running and high jump

Mesomorph

- muscular, often wedge-shaped, with wide shoulders and narrow hips, strong limbs, and little body fat - good sports include gymnastics and swimming

principle of individual differences

- not everybody will attain the same results from same training - some must work harder for same results - some are more predisposed to succeed in certain sports or workouts - who in turn are more predisposed for other activities - must tailor workouts to meet goals of at own pace

principle of specificity

- one must exercise the specific body part, muscle, or sport movements and techniques that one wants to improve.

equilibrium

- our sense of balance - gives us information regarding where are bodies are in space - standing up, sitting down, lying down, etc.

kinesthesis

- our sense of our body parts' positions and movements - enabled by receptors in our muscles, tendons and joints - how we know where all of our body parts are at any time and in what manner and direction they are moving

motion

- physics concepts such as mass, center of gravity, displacement, inertia, linear and angular motion, linear and angular velocity, vectors, acceleration, etc.

effort of movement

- the amount of force in a body movement which may be strong, medium, light or any degree of these. - movement concept - quality - the way in which our body moves - learning how to generate, absorb, and direct force, effort, or tension is an important component of movement quality - includes speed - sudden or sustained or continuous, quick or slow or anything in-between - flow of movement - bound, interrupted, free, sustained

running

a gait that includes an aerial phase when no body parts contact the ground or floor, with no external forces on the body (excluding gravity and wind resistance).

Hemophilia

a group of rare hereditary bleeding disorders in which the blood does not clot properly. There are three main types of hemophilia called hemophilia A, hemophilia B, and hemophilia C - A and B are X-linked genetic disorders therefore more likely in males

FITNESSGRAM

Skeletal muscles

contractile organs composed of several motor units

Proximodistical Motor

control develops from the center of the body to out - example - tendency for more general functions of limbs to develop before more specific - gross motor before fine motor skills

Cephalocaudal Motor

control develops head to tail - example - infants learning to use their upper limbs before their lower limbs

maximum oxygen consumption

equals the maximal aerobic capacity - frequently regarded as indicating cardiorespiratory fitness - the cardiovascular systems greatest ability to deliver oxygenated blood to working muscles and how quickly the body can produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to supply energy to muscles

integrity of self

have learned and gained insight and perspective from their life experiences, attaining wisdom

motor units

includes all the muscle fibers innervated by a single motor neuron, and at least some are always contracting - even when we're at rest. The contraction may not be enough to produce movement, but they keep the muscle at a resting level of tension or tone.

body mass index

is the ratio of weight to height, squared in kilograms and meters, used to show weight-height relationship

Ballistic Power training:

lift, accelerate, and release weight. Ex: bench throw, jump squats, push press.

aerobic power

maximum rate at which someone can consume oxygen during intensive exercise performance which indicates cardiorespiratory fitness

metabolic cart

measures how much oxygen the person's body can consume during the exercise - the higher the amount of oxygen one can consume - the higher the cardiorespiratory endurance

capillaries

microscopic blood vessels with very thin walls that allow the transfer of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissues

dynamic contraction

more accurate term for isotonic contraction - meaning the muscle tension varies throughout the movement - e.g. These forms of exercises help to isolate certain muscle groups, as in the case of dumbbell curls during which the primary muscle worked is the bicep.

Fast-Twitch (FT) fibers

muscle fibers that contract quickly, have high anaerobic - without oxygen - capacity and hence apply best to activities with high power output

Slow-twitch (ST) fibers

muscle fibers that contract slowly, have hight aerobic - with oxygen - capacity and low anaerobic capacity and apply best to activities with low power output.

eccentric contraction

occurs when the muscle lengthens - helps to control the rate of movement

Concentric contraction

occurs when the muscle shortens - muscle shortens when the arm flexes at the elbow in the act of curling

principle of use/disuse

one must use muscles to sustain muscular strength "use it or lose it" - anytime we stop exercising or exercise less and notice we are no longer seeing results

aerobic

oxygen

respiration

process of gas exchange that occurs in the respiratory zone

Isometric muscular endurance

push against something that is immovable - static tension - involves muscle contraction without the muscle or joints moving - e.g. pushing against a wall or doing a push-up/stopping in the 'up' position - do not significantly build strength but maintain strength, which is why used for rehabilitation

Wellness

refers to the state of being in optimal mental and physical health - living a life full of personal responsibility and therefore taking proactive steps for one's entire well-being.

Exercise physiology

scientific study of how the body functionally responds, adapts and adjusts to chronic training and acute exercise

Cardiac output - CO

term used to show the amount of blood pumped per minute by each ventricle - determined by multiplying the number of heartbeats per minute times the volume of blood pumped by the ventricles with each heartbeat

principle of adaptation

the body adapts to exercise, so that with regular practice, certain activities become easier. to continue improving, one must vary ones workouts with different training and/or routines. The body adjusts to demands made of it.

Isotonic Contraction

the force generated by a muscle while contracting, when the muscle lengthens and shortens during movement, with the force remaining constant -e.g. dumbbell curls, squats, lunges and walking.

blood pressure

the force per unit area that the blood exerts against an artery's inner walls, and the force that carries blood through the circulatory system

adenosine triphosphate - ATP

the form of energy your body uses to perform bodily functions - a high-energy-containing molecule, and it might help if you think of it as your body's fuel, much like gas is the fuel used by your car

diastolic blood pressure

the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilatation of the ventricles of the heart when the ventricles fill with blood. In a blood pressure reading, it is typically the second number recorded.

recovery oxygen

the net amount of oxygen, reported in liters, that one consumes while recovering from exercise in other words - oxygen consumed beyond the amount consumed over the same time period when at rest

core temperature

Kinetics

the part of biomechanics involving the study of movement and the forces that produce movement

rate-pressure product

the product of heart rate and systolic blood pressure which gives a non-invasive estimation of myocardial oxygen consumption

body composition

the proportions of fatty and muscular tissue that make up a person's body weight - the percentage of body fat an individual has is significant to health and fitness - the higher the body fat the higher the risk of chronic diseases

Muscle tone

the resting tension in the skeletal muscle, and it helps to stabilize the position of the bones and the joints

bioenergetics
