LFW A 32701 CBE CR/A Study Guide Flashcards

Vocabulary and key concepts from the University of Texas at Austin LFW A 32701 Study Guide, covering physiological principles, biomechanics, and performance strategies.

Warm-up

A phase performed before a workout that increases the heart rate and loosens up muscles.

Cool-down

A phase performed after a workout that decreases the heart rate and ensures safe recovery.

Overload

A physiological principle related to exercise and training that involves increasing the resistance or stress on the body.

Frequency

A training principle that refers to how often exercise is performed.

Intensity

A training principle that refers to the level of exertion or difficulty of an exercise.

Time

A training principle that refers to the duration of an exercise session.

Specificity

A training principle stating that exercise must be relevant to the specific goals or sport.

Force

A basic biomechanical principle related to exercise and training.

Leverage

A basic biomechanical principle involving the use of a lever to move an object or body part.

Type of contraction

A basic biomechanical principle related to how muscles move during exercise.

1st class lever

A biomechanical lever exemplified by the head and neck during a neck extension.

2nd class lever

A biomechanical lever exemplified by raising your heel off the ground.

3rd class lever

A biomechanical lever exemplified by bending your arm.

Interval training

A method to achieve personal fitness by alternating periods of activity and rest.

Circuit training

A combination of six or more exercises performed with very short periods of rest.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT)

A combination of brief but intense bursts of cardio and equal periods of rest.

Functional fitness training

Exercises that help you with everyday activities.

Conflict Resolution

Maintaining a respectful attitude and taking responsibility for one's actions, especially during team sports like basketball.

Hydration

The intake of fluids before, during, and after exercise to decrease metabolic temperature.

Aerobic activity

Physical activity that provides health benefits such as improved lung function.

Anaerobic activity

Activities like resistance training used to build strength and muscle size by using resistance to muscular contraction.

Cardiorespiratory endurance

A training principle and fitness component focused on the efficiency of the heart and lungs.

Muscular strength and endurance

Training principles focused on the ability of muscles to exert force and perform repetitive contractions.

Flexibility

A training principle appropriate to enhance the range of motion in joints.
