QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Visceral adiposity ANSW✅✅Excess fat located deep in the abdomen that surrounds the vital
organs
Adipose ANSW✅✅Fat cells stored in fatty tissues in the body
Interleukin- 6 ANSW✅✅Pro-inflammatory substance associated with an increase in cortisol levels
(Pro inflammatory = Promotes inflammation)
Tumor necrosis factor alpha ANSW✅✅Pro-inflammatory protein involved in the acute phase of
systemic inflammation
C reactive protein ANSW✅✅Pro-inflammatory substance that is elevated in the blood when there
is inflammation present in the body
Cardiometabolic disease ANSW✅✅Condition that puts a person at increased risk for heart disease
& diabetes.
Elevated blood pressure, triglycerides, fasting plasma glucose, C-reactive protein and decreased
levels of HDL
Posture ANSW✅✅The arrangement of the body and its limbs
Flexion ANSW✅✅The act of moving a joint so that the two bones forming are brought closer
together
Degenerative disc disease - DDD ANSW✅✅Condition of advancing age and or the result of the
development of post traumatic arthritis
Atherosclerosis ANSW✅✅Specific form of arteriosclerosis characterized by the accumulation of
fatty material on the inner walls of the arteries, causing them to harden, thicken and lose elasticity
, Metabolic syndrome ANSW✅✅Cluster of factors associated with increased risk for coronary heart
disease and diabetes
Risk factors ANSW✅✅Characteristic, inherited trait, or behavior related to the presence or
development of a condition or disease
Dyslipdiemia ANSW✅✅A condition characterized by abnormal blood lipid profiles
Plantar fascitis ANSW✅✅Inflammation of the plantar fascia, a broad band of connective tissue
running along the sole of the foot, caused by stretching or tearing the tissue, usually near the
attachment of the heel
Cartilage ANSW✅✅Smooth semi-opaque material that absorbs shock and reduces friction
between the bones of a joint

Flexibility ANSW✅✅Ability to move joints through their normal full range of motion
Balance ANSW✅✅Ability to maintain the body's position over its base of support, both statically
and dynamically
Muscular endurance ANSW✅✅Ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert force against a
resistance over a period of time
Muscular strength ANSW✅✅The maximal force a muscle or muscle group can exert during
contraction
Progression ANSW✅✅Systematic process of applying overload. In resistance training more
resistance is added to progress the training stimuli
Anaerobic ANSW✅✅Without the presence of oxygen
