Muscle Movement and Physiology Quiz

The amount of air inhaled or exhaled in a single breath.

The rate at which a person breathes, measured in breaths per minute.

The rate at which the heart beats, measured in beats per minute (bpm).

The increase in heart rate that occurs before exercise begins, often due to anticipation or excitement.

The ability of the body's systems to sustain prolonged physical activity.

The ability to move the body quickly and efficiently between different positions.

The ability to generate a large force quickly.

The range of motion at a joint.

The process of exercising regularly to improve skills and fitness.

The 'golden rules' that make fitness training effective for individuals.

Long-term changes in the body systems caused by training

Training should be relevant to the individual's sport.

Data collected from fitness tests that can be used to track progress.

Scores used to compare an individual's fitness performance to the general population.

Comparing fitness data to other athletes or previous performances to track progress.

Muscle pairs that work in opposition to each other. One muscle contracts to produce movement, while the other relaxes to allow the movement.

The muscle that contracts to produce a movement.

The muscle that relaxes to allow a movement to occur.

The biceps muscle in the upper arm, responsible for flexing the elbow joint.

The triceps muscle in the upper arm, responsible for extending the elbow joint.

The group of muscles at the back of the thigh, responsible for flexing the knee and extending the hip.

The group of muscles at the front of the thigh, responsible for extending the knee.

Muscles that support and stabilize a joint during movement.

The ability to move the body skillfully and efficiently in different directions.

The period of rapid physical growth and development during adolescence.

The part of the bone where growth occurs, especially vulnerable to injury during adolescence.

Compulsory physical activity as part of the school curriculum.

The participation rate in physical activity outside of school hours.

The gradual decline in participation in physical activity starting around age 13.

The desire for more diverse physical activities, including fitness, individual sports, and nontraditional games.

The factors that influence a person's choice to participate in physical activity.

High intensity exercise involving explosive movements, where muscles are quickly stretched and then shortened. It's like a spring, storing energy and releasing it for a powerful action.

Short bursts of intense exercise followed by short recovery periods. It offers similar benefits to long-duration endurance training but in less time.

Following the rules of a game to minimize injury risk.

Equipment worn to protect athletes during activity, such as helmets, pads, and gloves. It reduces injury risk by absorbing impact.

Warming up prepares the body for activity, increasing flexibility and temperature. Cooling down helps the body return to a normal pace.

Choosing an appropriate level of competition based on skill and fitness to minimize injury risk.

Proper techniques for lifting and carrying objects to prevent strain and injury.

Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear for the activity can improve comfort and reduce injury risk.

A continuous training method that involves alternating between periods of high and low intensity. Think speed bursts and recovery periods.

A structured form of training involving alternating periods of exercise followed by periods of rest, aimed at improving different fitness components.

A form of interval training that involves completing a series of exercises in a specific order, working different muscle groups. You go through the 'circuit' multiple times.

A type of training aimed at improving strength and muscular endurance by using weights and controlled movements. Involves high weights and low reps for strength, low weights and high reps for endurance.

A form of interval training that focuses on strength, speed, and power development. It involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by brief periods of rest.

A training method designed to help athletes develop speed and quickness by performing drills and exercises that mimic the demands of their specific sport. This approach helps them improve their ability to react quickly and change direction.

A training method designed to improve an athlete's ability to exert maximum force in a short period of time.

A training method that involves a series of exercises performed in a specific order, generally focusing on flexibility, stretching, and range of motion, aimed at increasing joint flexibility and reducing the risk of injury.
