Chapter 14: Exercise for Health and Fitness

Endurance exercise

Endurance exercise

________ and strength training lead to a better balance of lipid (fat) levels by increasing high- density lipoproteins and reducing low- density lipoproteins and triglycerides.

cardiorespiratory endurance

Developing ________ requires raising the heart rate above normal.

Isotonic

________ (dynamic) exercises: apply force with movement in weight- training; using barbells, dumbbells, weight machines, and body weight, as in push- ups or curl- ups.

Flexibility

________: the ability to move joints through their full range of motion.

Muscular endurance

________: the ability to resist fatigue and sustain a given level of muscle tension- that is, to hold a muscle contraction for a long time or to contract the muscle repeatedly.

Muscular strength

________: the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort.

cool water

For workouts lasting less than 60 to 90 minutes, ________ is an appropriate fluid replacement.

Target heart rate zone

________: the range of rates at which you should exercise to obtain cardiorespiratory benefits.

Physical fitness

________: set of physical attributes that allow the body to respond or adapt to the demands and stress of physical effort.

Exercise intensity

________: boosts its health benefits as well.

Cardiorespiratory endurance

________: the ability to perform prolonged, large- muscle, dynamic exercise at moderate to high intensity.

Isometric (static) exercises

apply force without movement

Isotonic (dynamic) exercises

apply force with movement in weight-training; using barbells, dumbbells, weight machines, and body weight, as in push-ups or curl-ups
