Aerobic Training Zone
Training intensity defined as 60%–80% of Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).
Anaerobic Training Zone
Training intensity defined as 80%–90% of Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).
Aerobic Respiration
Respiration process represented by the equation: Oxygen+Glucose→CO2+Water+Energy
Anaerobic Respiration
Respiration process represented by the equation: Glucose→Lactic Acid+Energy
Inspiration and Expiration Muscles
Breathing movements brought about by the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm.
Ligament
Connective tissue that provides stability to a joint.
Synovial Fluid
Fluid in the joint cavity that reduces friction, lubricates the joint, and aids movement.
Articular Cartilage
Cartilage at the end of bones that helps reduce friction, provides flexibility and mobility, and absorbs shock.
Joint Capsule
Enclosing structure with a synovial lining that strengthens the joint.
Bursa
Fluid-filled sac in a synovial joint that reduces friction.
Tendon
Tough fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
Origin
Point of muscular attachment to a bone that stays fixed during contraction, usually located superiorly.
Insertion
Point of muscular attachment to a movable bone that gets closer to the origin during contraction, usually located inferiorly.
Hinge Joint
Joint found at the ankle, elbow, and knee allowing flexion, extension, and dorsiflexion/plantarflexion at the ankle.
Ball and Socket Joint
Joint found at the shoulder and hip allowing rotation, adduction, abduction, and circumduction.
Condyloid Joint
Joint found at the wrist allowing abduction, adduction, flexion, and extension.
Pivot Joint
Joint found at the neck (atlas/axis) and elbow allowing rotation, such as during breathing in swimming.
Gliding Joint
Joint found at the wrist and ankle that permits gliding movement.
Transverse Plane
Plane formed by a horizontal line that divides the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) sections; examples include pirouette, full twist, cross-trainer, wood chopper, lower body twists, russian twists, cable flys, and vertical traction.
Frontal Plane
Plane formed by a vertical line that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections; examples include cartwheels, star jumps, side plank, dead hang, and lateral raises.
Sagittal Plane
Plane formed by a vertical line that divides the body into left and right sections from medial to lateral; examples include swim diving, bicep curls, running, dumbbell flys, squats, treadmill, leg curls, and pull-ups.
Abduction
Movement of a body segment away from the midline of the body.
Adduction
Movement of a body segment closer to the midline of the body.
Horizontal Extension
Movement that moves a bone away from the midline of the body in a horizontal plane.
Horizontal Flexion
Movement that moves a bone closer to the midline of the body in a horizontal plane (e.g., discus throw, open/close the gate).
Cardiovascular Adaptations
Training benefits resulting in quicker recovery, lower resting heart rate, lower working heart rate, muscle hypertrophy, increased stroke volume (SV), and increased red blood cell (RBC) count.
