symmetrical.
Distal - answers Situated away from the center or midline of the body, or from the
point of origin

body.
Cross Training - answers Incorporating different modalities of exercise into one's
overall training regimen to avoid over-training, boredom, and/or plateau

environments
Conditioning - answers Exercise conducted on a regular basis over a period of time
("training")
Reaction - answers For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Agility - answers Ability to start, stop, and move the body quickly in different
directions
Kinesiology - answers the scientific study of human movement
Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) - answers Muscle soreness that occurs
1-2 days after an exercise training session.
Efficiency - answers The ratio of energy expenditure to work output. How well an
individual can perform or execute an exercise.
Fartlek (Speed Play) - answers A form of physical conditioning which alternates fast
and slow running over varied terrain for 3-4 miles.
Force - answers Any push or pull that tends to cause movement
Interval Training - answers A fitness workout that alternates harder and lighter bouts
of intensities throughout the session.
Overload Principle - answers To place greater than usual demands upon some part
of the body.
Prime Movers (Agonist) - answers Muscles responsible for a definite movement of
a joint.
Periodization - answers A specific period of time (weeks, months, or years) over
which the frequency, volume, and intensity of training are systematically varied to
avoid over-training and to promote continued progress.

Answers
Plyometrics - answers A method of resistance training that emphasizes the
stretching of the muscle prior to the contraction.
Power - answers The ability to exert muscular strength quickly.
Expressed as Force X Speed = _______________
Progressive Overload Principle - answers Introducing overloads in a systematic
manner
Reversibility - answers A loss of performance (detraining) in cardiorespiratory
endurance, muscular
strength and endurance and flexibility can occur when training ceases. One to two
weeks of
cessation of physical activity can result in a reduction in specific fitness gains
Rest - answers One must plan days of rest to yield an improvement in one's overall
performance.
Active Rest- Days that consist of light, fun activities different from one's normal
workout
program.
Passive Rest- Days that consist of doing no activity.
Specificity Concept - answers The idea that one should train in a specific manner to
achieve a specific outcome.
Speed - answers The ability to move the body quickly
Extension - answers The movement of a limb caused by eccentric muscular
contraction, resulting in an increase in the angle of a joint.
Training Effect - answers Overall positive improvements in the performance of the
heart, lungs, and
muscles due to conditioning.
Training Variation - answers Systematically manipulating training variables to create
an overload thereby demanding the body to adapt and improve.
FITT Principles - answers The 4 principles involved in all progressive exercise
programs.
Frequency, Intensity, Time (Duration,) Type
Frequency - answers How often one exercises during the week or the number of
sessions one exercises during the week.
Lateral Flexion - answers Flexing to the side (Usually an action of the vertebral
column).
Intensity - answers How hard one works during an exercise session
