    • Superficial: closer to surface
    • Deep: further from surface
    • Pronation: turning palms inward
    • Supination: turning palms forward

    • Adduction: towards midline
    • Inversion: sole of foot turned inward
    • Eversion: sole of foot turned outward
    • Dorsiflexion: foot turned upward
    • Plantar flexion: foot turned downward
    • Flexion: reduces angle between joints
    • Extension: increases angle between joints
    • Protraction: shoulders move inward
    • Retraction: shoulders move outward
    • Opposition: thumb touches other fingers
    • Reposition: thumb returns to neutral position
    • Circumduction: combination of movements (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction)
    • Medial and Lateral Rotation

    Skeletal System

    • Bones are organs
    • Appendicular skeleton: limbs and girdles
    • Axial skeleton: skull, vertebral column, bony thorax, sacrum, coccyx
    • Skull: joined by immovable joints (except jawbone)
    • Hyoid bone: floating bone
    • Vertebral column: 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacrum, 4 coccyx
    • True ribs: 1-7
    • False ribs: 8-12
    • Floating ribs: last two pairs
    • Long bones: epiphyseal lines (femur), tubular structure with cavity
    • Short bones: no medullary cavity (spongy bone)
    • Flat bones: "protective," thin, large surface area (cranium)
    • Sesamoid bones: small, embedded in tendons or joint capsules (patella)
    • Irregular bones: specialized shape, function (vertebrae)
    • Spongy bone: cancellous bone, lots of open space
    • Compact bone: cortical bone, dense
    • Osteoclasts: break down bone
    • Osteoblasts: build bone
    • Osteocytes: mature bone cells
    • Endochondral ossification: cartilage model forms, then replaced by bone

    Growth and Development of Bones

    • Growth of cartilage model: chondrocytes divide, allowing cartilage in center to grow
    • Calcification of cartilage: apoptosis of chondrocytes, forming a scaffold for bone
    • Primary ossification: osteoblasts start to replace cartilage with bone
    • Secondary ossification centers appear
    • Formation of epiphyseal plate: allow for continued growth until early adulthood/ossifies
    • Types of fractures: greenstick, compound, spiral, comminuted

    • Tidal volume air in and out in a breath
    • Vo2max: maximal rate of oxygen use during exercise
    • Oxygen deficit, ventilatory threshold, lactate threshold
    • Asthma: inflammation of bronchioles, reducing air flow and increasing mucus

    Cardiovascular System

    • Coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with blood.

    • Diastolic blood pressure: relaxation of the heart
    • Sinoatrial (SA) node: pacemaker of the heart

    • Cardiac output: amount of blood pumped by heart in a minute

    Nutrients

    • Carbohydrates: main source of energy (45-60%), 4 calories/gram
    • Protein: builds muscle (15-20%), 4 calories/gram
    • Fats: protects and cushions body (20-35%), 9 calories/gram
    • Micronutrients: needed in small amounts (vitamins, minerals)
    • Macronutrients: needed in large amounts (fats, proteins, carbs, water)

    Sports Performance and Training

    • Glycemic index: ranks carbohydrates
    • Female Athlete Triad
    • Training principles (FITT)
    • Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
    • Overload
    • Progression
    • Individual differences
    • Training methods
    • Reversibility
    • Diminishing returns: training gains reflect prior level of training
    • Periodization

    • Resistance
    • Concurrent training
    • Interval training
    • Fartlek
    • Ergogenic aids

    Other
