What is power?
relationship between strength and time (how fast you can move heavy things)
What is endurance?
Repetitive muscular movement (how many times you can move a lighter thing)
What are isometrics? And some examples
Constant muscle length (stability)
Examples: Plank, Lunges, Squat hold
What is isotonic? And some examples
it includes an eccentric and concentric contraction
Examples: Hiking, running
What is eccentric contractions? And some examples
lengthening of the muscle
Examples: Lowering into a squat, or lowering into a bench press

Shortening of the muscle
Examples: Pushing up in a bench press, Pushing up in a push up
What are fast twitch fibers used for? and what type are they?
(sprints) type 2
What is agonists?
- Muscle causing joint movement
- Biceps (elbow flexion)
What are antagonists?
- Muscle opposing the joint movement
Triceps (relax leads to flexion)
What is the overload principle?
- The goal = hypertrophy
- Muscle responds to stress
- Gradually intensity (strength overtime)
Get a 10% increase
What is periodization?
- Traditional seasons no longer exist
- Goal = achieve peak performance
This lowers injuries and overtraining

Why are proteins, carbs, and fats an important macronutrient?
