1
Q

Adherance

A

The level of commitment to a behavior or plan of action.

2
Q

Overtraining

A

Excessive frequency, volume, or intensity of training, resulting in reduction of performance, which is also caused by a lack of proper rest and recovery.

3
Q

Kinetic chain

A

A concept that describes the human body as a chain of interdependent links that work together to perform movement.

4
Q

Training plan

A

The specific outline created by a fitness professional that details the form of training, length of time, future changes, and specific exercises to be performed.

5
Q

Acute variables

A

Important components that specify how each exercise is to be performed; also known as exercise training variables.

6
Q

Periodization

A

Macromanagement or planned manipulation of training variables in an organized fashion to improve performance over time.

7
Q

Linear periodization

A

A traditional method of program design that aims to gradually increase the intensity of the training load while simultaneously decreasing volume over a set period of time.

8
Q

Hypertrophy

A

Enlargement of an organ or tissue; in the context of fitness, it is often used to describe the enlargement of skeletal muscle.

9
Q

Undulating periodization

A

A programming scheme, also known as nonlinear periodization, that uses changes in volume, intensity, and exercise selection to provide loading differences on a daily or weekly basis.

10
Q

Autonomy

A

Acting in accordance with how one wants to behave.

11
Q

Self-efficacy

A

One’s belief that he or she can complete a task, goal, or performance; also known as self-confidence.

12
Q

Length-tension relationship

A

The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.

13
Q

Fundamental movement patterns

A

Common and essential movements performed in daily life and are involved in exercise motions within a training session.

14
Q

Activities of daily living

A

The fundamental tasks needed to manage basic self-care activities, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation and feeding, and homemaking.

15
Q

Compound (multijoint) movement pattern

A

An exercise or movement pattern that involves multiple joints and muscle groups.

16
Q

Kyphotic/Kyphosis

A

The normal curvature of the thoracic spine region, creating a convex portion of the spine.

17
Q

Synergists

A

Muscles that assist agonists to produce a movement.

18
Q

Neuromuscular efficiency

A

The ability of the nervous system to recruit the correct muscles to produce force, reduce force, and dynamically stabilize the body’s structure in all three planes of motion.

19
Q

Specific warm-up

A

Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those to be included in the more intense exercise immediately following.
