Exercise Details
TERMS (more
links below) abduction
movement away from the center of the body. adduction
movement towards the center of the body. aerobic
requiring oxygen; when describing exercise, it’s talking about walking, jogging/running, swimming, anerobic word
which literally means without air; include heavy weight lifting, sprinting,
or any rapid spurt of hard exercise. ballistic movement due to momentum rather than muscular
control. basal
metabolic rate (BMR)The rate at which the body burns calories while awake but at rest, usually measured in
calories per day.. (follow link: http://members.nuvox.net/~on.jwclymer/bmi.html ) Body Mass Index (BMI)
Another way of figuring out body composition (follow link: http://members.nuvox.net/~on.jwclymer/bmi.html ) circuit training A flow of exercises performed
one after the other with little rest in between. concentric when the muscle contracts; the weight
that can be lifted working against gravity (that's what you usually think of as 'weightlifting') core the area around your trunk and pelvis — is where your center of gravity is located. endorphins after
exercising, these are in the body and tell your brain to give relief from pain, relieve stress, supposedly post-pone the aging process,
and give the body a “natural high.” free weight a piece of exercise equipment,
(usually a barbell of some sort), moved in the carrying out
of an exercise which is lifted and lowered at once. A lot of times people will sit on benches to use these while
others will stand in a class to use them as directed. glycemic index (GI) is a evaluation system for carbohydrates that figures out how quickly the sugar enters
the blood stream and the extent of the insulin response following it. This can be important for those of us trying to lose
weight! (follow link: http://members.nuvox.net/~on.jwclymer/bmi.html ) isometric
not using contraction or extension; these are exercises that are done by tightening the muscles without
moving any part of the body, like pushing against the wall instead of lifting a weight. lean body mass total body mass minus fat mass; this
includes muscle, bone, organs, water, etc.,--everything but fat. overtraining
Training beyond
the body's ability to restore itself. This can be caused by training the same body parts too frequently so that the body
does not have time to recover before the next workout; workouts that are consistently harder than the body is able to recover
from fully; or impairment of the body's normal recovery ability due to nutritional deficiencies, illness, or stress. set a sequence of one or more complete performances of a movement, done
as a unit with minimal pausing in between. rep a
single complete performance of a movement, normally including both the concentric
(working against resistance) and eccentric (allowing the weight
to move in the direction it would if you let go) phases, so that at the end of one rep, the weight and lifter are back
in the position they were in to begin with. resistance training training with weights, resistance, or
anything else beyond just the movement itself. Chin ups are resistance
training, jogging is not. waist-to-height
ratio (WHtR) another way to assess health.. (follow

may guide or restrict the direction and extent of a movement. |
