Study Notes

Anaerobic Exercise

High-intensity exercise causing quick fatigue and breathlessness
Examples: weight lifting, sprints, cycling, and jumping
Interval training is also known as speedwork

Body Composition

Refers to the percentage of fat and lean mass in the body
Healthy body composition features low body fat and high fat-free mass

Cardio Exercise

Involves large muscle groups, synchronizing arms and legs
Requires medium to high intensity; can be sustained over long durations
Also referred to as aerobic exercise

Cardio Circuit Training

Involves a training routine with multiple exercise stations completed in one workout

Cardio Cross Training

Incorporates various types of cardio exercises within the same workout or week

Cardiovascular Endurance

Ability to sustain medium to high-intensity cardio activities (e.g., running, cycling)
Also known as cardiovascular fitness

Exercise, Physical Activity, and Physical Fitness

Exercise: activity aimed at improving physical fitness components
Physical Activity: any muscle-contraction activity, including daily chores
Physical Fitness: comprised of six components affecting exercise and sports performance

Flexibility and Intensity

Flexibility: capacity for normal range of motion in movement
Intensity: level of difficulty in exercising or performing physical activities

Intermediate Slow Training

Continuous cardio exercise performed steadily for 20-60 minutes

Interval Training

Alternates between higher-intensity and lower-intensity exercise within a single workout

Long Slow Distance (LSD) Training

Continuous cardio training done for 60 minutes or more at a steady pace

Muscle Endurance and Muscle Strength

Muscle Endurance: ability to repeatedly contract a muscle without fatigue
Muscle Strength: maximum force a muscle can exert during one contraction

Motor Skills

Examples: walking, kicking, climbing, eye-hand coordination

Overload

Exercising at a level greater than usual to promote improvements

Wellness

Holistic approach to fitness, addressing social, physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being

Contract-Relax Stretch

Creatine Supplements

Dietary supplements aimed at increasing quick energy storage in muscles
Results in size and strength gains vary among individuals

One-Repetition Maximum (1-RM)

The maximum weight that can be lifted once with proper form

Repetition and Set

Repetition: one complete exercise motion (e.g., one push-up)
Set: a series of consecutive repetitions, typically 8-12

Slow-Dynamic and Slow-Static Stretches

Slow-Dynamic: involves gentle back-and-forth motion for 15-30 seconds
Slow-Static: holding a position of tightness for 15-30 seconds

Split-Body Routine

Weight training regimen focused on different body parts on different days
