Dance

Carbohydrates (CHO)

Preferred source of fuel during exercise (glycogen)

Fat

Concentrated fuel used during rest and prolonged submaximal exercise

Oxidative System

Also known as Krebs Cycle and the citric acid cycle. In this system, carbohydrates and fats are the primary energy sources converted into ATP and this process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.

Energy

The ability or capacity to do work and is measured in calories or joules

Aerobic exercise

Any type of cardiovascular conditioning or "cardio". During the cardiovascular conditioning, your breathing and heart rate increase for a sustained period of time. Oxygen is your main energy source during aerobic workouts, therefore Oxidative System energy is used.

Anaerobic exercises

Involve quick burst of energy and are performed at maximum effort for a short time. The energy system used are the ATP and Glycolytic System.

Overload Principle

The body adapt to stimulus, once the body has accepted then a different stimulus is required to continue the change. In order for the muscle (including the heart) to increase strength, it must be gradually stressed by working against a load greater than it is used to.

Progressive Principle

Means the body adapts to the initial overload, the overload must be adjusted and increase gradually.

Recovery Principle

Adaptation to physical activity occurs gradually and naturally, but time must be allowed for the regenerate and build.

Reversibility Principle

All gains due to exercise will be lost if one does not continue to exercise

Specificity Principle

Training should be relevant and appropriate to the individuals need in order to produce effective result

Variation Principle

Training programs varies in intensity, duration, volume and other important aspects of practice
