Across
  1. 4. An increase in the size of muscle tissue
  2. 6. The systematic application of exercise stress sufficient to stimulate muscle fatigue, but not so severe that breakdown and injury occur
  3. 11. A gradual, slow stretching of the muscle through the entire range of motion, then holding the position for 20 to 30 seconds.
  4. 13. A program, beginning six to eight weeks prior to sports participation, that allows the body to gradually adapt to the demands to be placed on it
  5. 15. exercise A type of training in which muscles are worked until they reach their capacity; once the athlete is able to maintain that capacity, the workload on the muscle is increased to further build strength and endurance.
  6. 19. A motor nerve plus all the muscle fibers it stimulates
  7. 21. Fiber in a motor unit that requires a long period of time to generate force; these fibers are resistant to fatigue.
  8. 22. Moving the joints beyond the normal range of motion
  9. 23. A type of exercise in which a machine is used to control the speed of contraction within the range of motion
  10. 24. An activity that causes the muscle to contract and shorten
Down
  1. 1. A form of dynamic exercise accomplished utilizing a training partner
  2. 2. Trying to prevent injuries before they occur, through a preventative management program.
  3. 3. facilitation A combined relaxing and contracting of the muscles; an initial isometric contraction against maximum resistance is held at the end of the range of motion, followed by relaxation and passive stretching.
  4. 5. An activity that puts an increased demand on the lungs, heart, and other body systems; also known as aerobic or endurance training
  5. 7. The use of 6 to 10 strength exercises completed one right after another; each exercise is done by performing a specific number of repetitions or for a specific period of time before moving to the next exercise.
  6. 8. The process of restoring function through programmed exercise, to enable a return to competition
  7. 9. A rhythmical, bouncing action that stretches the muscles a little further each time. Once a popular technique, this form of stretching is rarely used today. Especially when the muscles are cold, ballistic stretching was responsible for increased injuries.
  8. 10. Progressive overwork of muscles, at a controlled, increased rate, to achieve consistent gains in strength
  9. 12. Fiber in a motor unit that produces quick and forceful contractions; these fibers are easily fatigued.
  10. 14. The process of muscle atrophy due to disuse, immobilization, or starvation leads to decreased strength and muscle mass
  11. 16. An activity that causes tension in the muscle to increase but does not cause the muscle to shorten
  12. 17. The ability of particular muscle groups to respond to targeted training, so that increased strength is gained in that muscle group only
  13. 18. Weakness and wasting away of muscle tissue
  14. 20. The ability of a joint to move freely through its full range of motion.
