●● Power
Answer: - Force x speed, strength and speed, more work less time =
better performance, rate at which energy can be release
●● Lean body mass
Answer: - all non-fat tissue: muscle tissue, nervous tissue, connective
tissue, bone, and fluids
●● Fat mass
Answer: - fat that the body stores
●● Motor units
Answer: - Single motor neuron and all muscle cells enervated
●● Ramp effect
Answer: - the relationship between force production and the % of
muscle fibers recruited (more force requires more muscle fibers and
larger motor units)
, ●● Sets
Answer: - a group of consecutive repetitions
●● Reps
Answer: - a movement pattern performed once
●● Hypertrophy
Answer: - larger muscle cell sizes
●● Hyperplasia
Answer: - increase number of muscle cells
●● Atrophy
Answer: - reduced muscle cell size
●● Overload Principle
Answer: - Muscles adapt and grow when they are forced (with proper
form) to overcome resistance they have not experienced before.
●● Concentric contraction
Answer: - (Positive) Put simply, this contraction shortens your muscle as
it acts against resistive force (like a weight)
