|---|
| Coordination | integration of the nervous and musclular system to produce correct, graceful and harmmonious body movement |
| Isometric | strengh training program method to reffering to a muscle contraction that produces little or no movement such as pushing or pulling against an immovable object |
| Flexibility | ability fo a joint to mve freely through its full range of motion |
| Speed | ability to propel the body or a part of the body rapidly from one poin to another |
| Stressors | stress causing agent |
| HDL | High density lipoproteins: cholesterol transporting molecules in blood that help clear cholesterol from blood; good cholesterol |
| LDL | low density lipoproteins: triglyceride cholesterol and phospolipid transporting molecules in the blood that tend to increase blood cholesterol |
| DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid: genetic substance of which genes are made; molecule that bears cells genetic code |
| RNA | ribonucleic acid: genetic material that guides the formation of cell proteins |
| Caner | group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells into malignant tumors |
| Benign | Noncancerous |
| Malignant | cancerous |
| Muscular endurance | ability of a muscle to exert sub maximal force repeatedly over time |
| Factors affecting strength | physicological factors combine to creat muscle contraction and subsequent strength gains: neural stimulation, type of muscle fiber, overload principle and specificity of training |
| Type A Personality | behavior patter characteristic of a hard-driving, overambitious, agressive, at time hostil and overly competitive person |
| Type A behaviors | set own goals, self-motivated, try and accomplish many things at same time, achievement-oriented, high degree of urgency |
| Type B Personality | behavior pattern characteristic of a calm, casual, relaxed and easy going individual |
| Type B behaviors | take one thing at a time, don't feel pressured or hurried, seldom set own deadline |
| Type C Personality | behavior pattern of individuals who are just as highly stressed as the type A but do not seem to be at higher risk for disease then the type B |
| Type C behaviors | highly commited, confidence, control, enjoy work, maintain top physical condition |
| Biofeedback | person learns to reliably influence physicological responses of 2 kinds: either responses that are not ordinarily under voluntary control or responses that are ordinarily easy regulated but for which regulation has broken down because of trama or disease |
| Progressive Muscle relaxation | stress management technique that involves progressive contraction and relaxation of the muscle groups throughout the body |
| Breathing exercises | technique wherein the individual concentrates on "breathing away" the tension and inhaling fresh air to the entire body |
| Autogenic training | technique using a form of self-suggestion, where in an individiual is able to place him/herself in an autohypnotic stage by repeating and concentrating on feelings of heaviness and warmth in teh extremeities |
| Fight or Flight Mechanism | physicological response of the body to stress that prepares the individual to take action by stimulation the vital defense system |
| Principles of Muscular Strength/Endurance | mode of training, resistance, frequency of training, plyometrics |
| AIDS | any of the number of disease that arise when the body's immune system is compromised of HIV |
| HIV | virus that leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) |
| Addiction | compulsive and uncontrollable behaviors or use of substances |
| RICE | rest, ice, compression, elevation |
| Coronary Heart Disease | condition in which the arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients are narrowed by fatty deposits such as cholesterol and tryglycerides |
| Fast twich (white) muscle fibers | greater anaerobic potential and fast speed of contraction |
| Slow twich (red) muscle fibers | greater aerobic potential and slow speed of contraction |
| Atrophy | decrease size of the cell |
| Hypertrophy | increase size of the cell |
| Muscular strength | ability of a muscle to exert maximum force against resistance |
| Stress | mental, emotional, physicological response to any situation that is new, threatening, frightning or exciting |
| Meditation | technique used to gain control over one's attention by clearing the mind and blocking out the stressors responsible for increased tension |
| Common STD's | chlamydia, gonorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, genital worts, genital herpes, syphilis |
| Sources of stress | life expenences survey (identifies a person's life changes within the last 12 months) many have an impact |
| Cardiovascular disease | array of conditons that affect the heard of the blood vessels |
| Endorphins | morphine like substances released from teh pituitary gland in the brain during prolonged aerobic exericse; through to induce feelings of euphoria and natural well-being |
| Distress | negative stress |
| Eustress | positive stress |
| Overload principle | training concept taht the demands placed on a system (cardiorespiratory or muscular) must be increased systematically and progressively over time to cause physiological adaptation (development or improvement) |
| Components of power | speed and force (strength) |
| Reaction time | time required to initiate a response to a given stimulus |
| Factors of overload principle | increased ability of individual muscle fibers to generate a stronger contraction and recruiting greater proportion of the total available fibers for each contraction |
| How many days should you lift? | 3 times a week |
| Leading cause of death in US | Coronary heart disease (CHD) |
| Addictive drug in cigarretes | nicotine |
| VLDL | triglyceride, cholesterol and phosoplipid-transporting molecules in blood that tend ot increase blood cholesterol |
| % of illegal drugs produce in the US | 60 |
| Submaximal resistance | 80% of maximal capacity |
| Prevents damage to DNA | ocogenes and suppressor genes |
