Flashcards for the CBA to waive out of .5 credit of fitness

Aerobic activity

exercise that stimulates or strengthens heart & lungs → improves body’s use of oxygen

EX: jogging, rowing, swimming, cycling

Aerobic capacity

The maximum rate that a body or individual muscle can take up and use oxygen from the air (AKA oxygen consumption)

Agility

ability to change body position quickly and control physical movements

Anaerobic activity

short-duration exercise powered primarily by metabolic pathways that don’t use oxygen

EX: sprinting, weight lifting

Artistic gymnastics

Borg Rating

measurement of the intensity of physical activity based on exertion

Cardiorespiratory endurance

efficiency of the body’s heart, lungs, and blood vessels to send fuel and oxygen to the body’s tissues, most often during extended periods of moderate-to-vigorous activity
