2. and increase in the size of muscle tissue
9. conditioning, 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
10. stretching, A gradual slow stretching of the muscle through its entire range of motion
12. systematic application of exercise stress is sufficient to stimulation muscle fatigue
15. fiber, Fiber in a motor unit that produces quick and forceful contractions
18. stretching, a rhythmic a bouncing action that stretches the muscle a little farther each time
19. exercise, an activity that causes tension in the muscle to increase but does not cause the muscle to shorten
21. the process of restoring function through programmed exercise
23. unit, A motor nerve plus all the muscle fibers it stimulates

1. Trying to prevent an injury before it occurs
3. conditioning, An activity that puts an increased demand on the lungs, heart, and other body systems
4. fiber, Fiber and a motor unit that requires a long of time to generate force
5. process of muscle atrophy due to immobilization or starvation leads to decrease in muscle mass
