• 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
