the large triangular muscle across the upper back are called the ________
latissimus
Volume
a measure of total work (set x reps x resistance) for a given exercise, training session or period
Eccentric Contraction
the lengthening of a muscle during contraction
the anterior and posterior deltoid stretches are designed to increase flexibility in the
shoulders
Isometric Contraction
a muscle contraction with no motion that results in no change in the length of the muscle
the primary benefits of weight training are
muscle strength and endurance
Fixed-form Exercise
exercise using a machine such as Cybex
counter force applied to an object
resistance
Hypertrophy
Increase in muscle mass
Proprioception
the ability to sense the location, position,orientation, and movement of the body and its parts.
Muscle Mass
the girth or size of the muscle
to strengthen small muscle groups , such as the triceps and biceps, weight should commonly be increased in increments of
2 1/2 lbs.
Range of Motion
Movement allowed by the bodys joints and body position in a particular exercise; free weights allow for the greatest range of motion in weight training
Muscle Tone
the shape of a muscle in its resting state
Timed-training Session
training in which a specified length of time is given to perform an exercise
Lactic Acid
metabolic by-product of anaerobic and aerobic exercise which results in muscular soreness
Variation Principle
the alteration or modification of exercises to work an entire muscle or group of muscles and to combat boredom.
Ballistic
Dynamic Muscular Movement
Overload Principle
the application of greater than normal stress to a muscle, resulting in increased capacity to do work. Gradually the muscle will adapt to the increased demand. Making it necessary to increase the stress again.
for a low back stretch, the client should lie on his back and do which of the following?
Flex one or both knees and bring them to the chest
Power
the ability to apply force with speed
Specificity Principles
the way in which an exercise relates to the activity for which performance enhancement is sought.
Which of the following statements is true about weight exercise
weight exercises should be done following practices sessions
Set
a group of repetitions
to strengthen large muscle groups, such as the quadriceps or pectorals, weight should be increased in increments of
2 lbs.
Physical Fitness
a state of physical well-being that allows you to perform daily activities with vigor and reduce your risk of illness related to a lack of exercise
what is the best way to teach a client a new skills
demonstrate it
using the overload principle of weight training, which of the following adjustments to a client's exercise program would you make?
increase the number of repetitions and sets
leg presses and squats help strengthen the quadriceps and the _____ muscles
gluteal
to achieve balance of strength , after exercising the quadriceps for 2 sets of 10 repetitions, the client/athlete should
exercise the hamstrings for 2 sets of 10 repetitions.
Repetition Maximum
Maximum number of repetitions possible with a given resistance
this gastrocnemius stretch is designed to increase flexibility of which part of the body
lower legs
the best exercises for warming up are
low-intensity cardiorespiratory exercise followed by stretching
ability to apply force with speed.
power
choosing activities or exercises that relate to performing a specific activity would be following the principle of ________
specificity
Free-Form Exercise
exercise using free weights
Resistance
counterforce
Isotonic Contraction
a muscle contraction produced by a constant external resistance
Variable Resistance
a resistance exercise that varies through the range of motion
Isokinetic Contraction
a muscle contraction produced by a variable external resistance at a constant speed
Circuit Format
Training format in which the lifter performs one of each exercise in a groups succession, with a short period of rest between sets
Concentric Contraction
the shortening of a muscle during contraction
Stretching
gently forcing the muscles to lengthen
Epiphyseal Plate
Growth plate located at the end of long skeletal bones
Plateau
Period during training in which no observable progress is made
a trainer providing instructions on deltoid strenthening should remind the client of which of the following
Exercise the three aspects of the deltoid muscle group
Progressive Overload
gradual increase in exercise stress accomplished by increasing intensity or volume of training
Conditioning
The process of preparing the body for optimized performance
Maximal strength testing
lifting as much as possible for one repetition
Intensity
Resistance used in training
