A

3,5

2,3

31
Q

_______ of the exercise will determine the benefits and improvements one obtains

A

intensity

32
Q

I=Intensity
Intensity of the exercise will determine the benefits and improvements one obtains
Cardiovascular exercise requires increasing your heart rate to a level called the _____ _____ ____ (_ _ _)
Muscular strength means increasing the amount of _______ used
Flexibility requires ________ muscles beyond their normal reach

A

Target heart rate (THR), resistance, stretching

33
Q

T=Time
For cardiovascular exercise, similar benefits can be obtained from several shorter sessions as in one longer session
_____ intensity exercise gives benefits for shorter duration
_____ intensity exercise needs to be done for a longer duration to give benefits
For muscular strength and endurance and flexibility, the duration is defined by the number of ____ or _________ rather than total time.

A

high,low, sets, repetitions

34
Q

T=Type
The ______ principle refers to the body’s adaptation to a particular type of activity or amount of stress placed upon it.

All forms of exercise (cardiovascular, muscular, flexibility) are necessary

A

specific

35
Q

_________ principle
The benefits of exercise can and will be lost if one ceases exercising
It is best to reduce frequency or duration but continue with the exercise if you find yourself stressed for time to exercise

A

Reversibility

36
Q

Since physical activity requires more energy, the heart, lungs, and blood vessels have to work harder to deliver more _____ to the cells. A person with good cardiorespiratory endurance can engage in a physical activity for a long time without becoming fatigued.

A

37
Q

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

aerobic

38
Q

In _________ exercise, the body needs more oxygen than it can take in, so exercise intensity can be high but exercise duration will be short.
