●● What are some benefits of muscle conditioning?
Answer: - Prevents Osteoporosis
- Improves Strength for cardio respiratory training
-Reduces the loss of muscle mass due to aging/lack of exercise
-Compliments healthy weight
-Makes everyday life easier
-Improves core strength & posture
●● What are the 3 types of muscle contractions?
Answer: Isotonic=concentric=shortening eg. bicep curl - mvmnt occurs
when muscle contracts w/ enough force to shorten
Isotonic=eccentric-=lengthening-or relaxing- w/tension as a force is
exerted, it lengthens eg. "breaking a car"
Isometric=static contraction-force to counteract opposing force eg. plank

Answer: Frequency
Intensity
,Time
Type of exercise
●● What is a distal attachment?
Answer: Away from the body
Muscle insertion
●● What is a proximal attachment?
Answer: Toward the body
Muscle origin
●● The process in which gases are exchanged in the lungs is called...
Answer: Diffussion - the exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in
the lungs

physical activity)
●● What are the 2 phases of a warm up?
Answer: General - dynamic ROM-major joint muscles - all group
muscle preparation eg. cardio
