benefits of mus- - Improves Strength for cardio respiratory training
cle condition- -Reduces the loss of muscle mass due to aging/lack of
ing? exercise
-Compliments healthy weight
-Makes everyday life easier
-Improves core strength & posture
3. What are the 3 Isotonic=concentric=shortening eg. bicep curl - mvmnt
types of muscle occurs when muscle contracts w/ enough force to short-
contractions? en
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

tory training? F - flexibility
17. Integrating all The heart's ability to distribute blood and oxygen.
body systems
means...
18. Teaching muscle The muscle's ability to extract and use oxygen to produce
mastery is... aerobic energy.
19. What are Warm Up - get body ready, protect against injury, oiling of
the phases the joints, preparing mental capacity for increased physi-
of cardiorespira- cal activity
tory training? Pre/Peak Cardio - to increase HR to 55-65% HRMax,
to intro more intensity, to obtain steady state at 65-85%
HRMax
Cardio Recovery - transition from cardio to next phase
of class/program, lower HR, lower BP, lower breathing
intensity
