2015 Semester 1 Final Flashcards
(31 cards)
Body composition
The relative percent of muscle, fat, bone, and other tissues of which the body is composed
Cardiovascular fitness
Ability of the heart, lungs, vessels to deliver oxygen to the muscles
Muscular strength
Amount of force a muscle can exert in a short period of time
Flexibility
Movement of the body through a range of motions
Dynamic stretching
Stretching while performing active body movements and motions;lunges
Static stretching
Stretching while remaining stationary(in one place); toe touches
Muscular endurance
Ability to use muscles and exert force over an exerted period of time
Agility
Ability to change direction quickly and rapidly in control
Balance
Ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving
Coordination
Ability to use the senses with the body parts to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately
Power
Ability to transfer energy into force at a fast rate
Reaction time
Ability to perform a movement in a short period of time
Speed
Ability to perform a movement in a short period of time
Aerobic activity
Physical activity to improve oxygen system at moderate levels over extended period of time; continues rhythmical activities (cardio
Anaerobic activity
Physical activity to improve strength, speed, and power (strength training/sprinting)
BPM
Beats per minute
Heart rate
Number of times heart beats on one minute
MHR(maximum heart rate)
220-age; the highest number of times your heart can contract in on minute which can be reached at maximum effort
THR(target heart rate)
- Desires heart rate to receive maximum benefit from a workout
- 50%-85% of maximum heart rate
(RHR) resting heart rate
- number of beats per minute while at complete rest
- best to take first thing in the morning after waking up
- normal RHR for teenager is 60-80 BPM
- consistent training decreases your RHR; low RHR is an indicator of fitness
Pulse
Number of times heart beats per minute; pressure felt in arteries when heart beats
FITT Principle (should be utilized to formulate your personal fitness plan)
- Frequency, how often a person works out; 3-4 days a week
- intensity-amount of effort exerted during a training session; workout in target heart rate zone(130-180 BPM)
- type-kind of exercise used during a training session(cardio/strength training)
- time-how long/time of a training session; at least 20 minutes
