What’s the difference between aerobic and anaerobic?
Aerobic is with oxygen and anaerobic is without
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
The ability to perform whole body activities and continue movement for extended periods without undue fatigue
Energy in the body
ATP
Stroke volume
The volume of blood being pumped out of the heart with each beat
Cardiac output
How much blood the heart is capable of pumping in exactly 1 minute
Aerobic capacity
The greatest rate at which oxygen can be taken in and used during exercise
Fast-Twitch
Used for speed or power activities such as sprinting and weightlifting.
Speed and power, tires faster, not much oxygen
Slow-Twitch
Is resistant to fatigue and is more useful in long-term endurance activities
Running, large amount of oxygen, uses oxygen efficiently
The F in the FITT principle and its definition
Frequency - How frequent the excercise/activity is being done and its consistency
The I in the FITT principle and its definition
Intensity – how low, moderate, or vigorous in terms of difficulty the excercise/activity may be
The first T in the FITT principle and its definition
Time – how long the exercise/activity takes
The second T in the FITT principle and its definition
Type – the type of exercise/activity (Continuous work out may be aerobic)
why would someone want to get their HR into their target HR zone during cardio exercise?
It helps someone exercise more effectively For better health and calorie burning.
What is HIIT?
High intensity interval training (Involves activities that are more Intermittent)
10 kinds of Cardio (Aerobic) activities
Walking, running, swimming, kickboxing, cycling, spinning, inline skating, hiking/backpacking, rock climbing, Cross country
The difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance
Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle to generate force against some resistance
Muscular endurance is the ability to perform repetitive muscular contractions against some resistance for an extended period of time
Three types of contractions the muscles can make
Isometric, concentric, and eccentric
Hypertrophy
An increase in muscle size in response to training
Atrophy
A decrease in muscle size caused by inactivity
Motor unit
A group of muscle fibers innervated by a single motor nerve
Core stabilization training addresses which part of the body?
The hip, lower back, pelvis, and abdomen
Free weights
exercise equipment that isn’t attached to anything (free range of motion no guidance)
Machines
exercise equipment that guides your movement (has attachments like cables that pulls weights up)
difference between a set and repetition
Set is a number of repetition. While repetition is the number of times you repeat a specific movement.
how do you know it's time to increase the amount of weight for a lift?
It is determined by the ability to perform at least 8 RM in each 3 sets.
In terms of reps, what is the difference between training for strength vs training for endurance?
training for strength should have lower number of reps with heavier weights and training for endurance should have higher number of reps with lighter weights

safety tips for strength training
Do appropriate warm-up activities before beginning workout
use proper lifting techniques as recommended in this chapter
Exercise all muscle groups
Avoid doing 1-RM lifts (can result in strains)
Always have a spotter if you are lifting free weights
Don't hold your breath
Don't try to show off
Seek experts Who can help if you need it
Progress gradually and within your own individual limits
Circuit training
A series of exercise stations consisting of various combinations of weight training, flexibility, body weight exercises, and aerobic exercises
Common bodyweight exercise exercises
Situps, push-ups, lunges, tricep extension, Sitting tucks, Trunk rotation, Bicycle, Leg lifts, Chin ups, Buttock tucks
flexibility
The range of motion possible about a given joint or series of joints
what activities require increased flexibility Or superior performance
Ballet, karate, tai chi, yoga, gymnastics
What is the best way to improve flexibility?
Stretching
what are ligaments and what do they do in the body?
Ligaments connect bone to bone and help provide stability around the joint
4 types of stretching
ballistic, static, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), Dynamic
static stretching
Technique involving passively stretching a given antagonist muscle by placing it in a maximal position of stretch and holding it there for an extended time
dynamic stretching
Uses hopping, skipping, and bounding activities and active muscular effort to stretch a muscle
5 guidelines/precautions for stretching
warm up with fast walk or slow jog before stretching vigorously
To increase flexibility overload to mild discomfort
Always stretch with control
Don't hold your breath
Stretch at least 3 times a week
when stretching, you should some _____ but not _____.
discomfort, pain
4 lower body stretches
