Match the terms to their definition.
1. aerobic
2. aerobic exercise
3. anaerobic
4. anaerobic exercise
5. health-related physical fitness
6. motor skill
7. skill-related physical fitness - Answers 1. means with oxygen; in normal situations your muscles use
energy (glucose) that requires the addition of oxygen (O2); the oxygen is captured in your lungs
(respiratory) and transported to your muscles by your heart and blood vessels (circulatory); once
combined with O2, the glucose fuels the muscle contractions and, thus, body movement
2. a moderate form of exercise that is sustained over an extended period of time, generally involving the
large muscle groups and placing a demand on the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to the muscles;
aerobic exercises are most effective for developing cardiovascular fitness, for example, walking, jogging,
cycling and swimming
,3. (without oxygen) as your muscles work faster and harder, they require more energy and, thus, more
oxygen; your lungs breathe deeper and your heart beats faster trying to keep up with the demand;
when your muscles demand for energy surpasses your lungs' and heart's abilities to deliver oxygen, your
muscles have to burn energy (glycogen) without O2, which is used up fairly quickly and produces more
waste products, specifically lactic acid
4. a form of exercise that involves short, intense bursts of energy; anaerobic exercise can only be
maintained for 1-2 minutes, slightly longer through specific anaerobic training. Anaerobic exercises are
generally used to build muscle mass, increase muscular strength, speed and power, for example
sprinting (running, cycling, swimming, etc), and bodybuilding
5. the components of physical fitness that are directly related to good health and wellness: body
composition, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, muscular endurance, and strength
6. the physical ability to perform a specific motor task or physical activity, for example: shooting a
basketball, riding a bike, or surfing a wave; motor skills are learned and improved
Body composition refers to the amount of fat and muscle that the body has. - Answers False
- it is the percent of body weight that is fat compared to the total body weight

- muscular endurance is;
* implication that muscles can work for long periods of time without tiring
Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle or group of muscles can exert. - Answers True
Muscular endurance is fueled by anaerobic energy. - Answers False
