Muscular Fitness and Flexibility
Across
- 4. A thickening of existing muscle fibers.
- 5. measurement of movement around a joint
- 7. when opposing muscles provide different directions of tension due to tightness or weakness
- 8. one instance of an exercise
- 9. Alternate sets of exercises without rest between sets.
- 10. Continued systematic increase of muscle workload by the addition of more weight or resistance.
- 12. Stretching of a muscle.
- 14. Any group of muscles of large size or any large number of muscles being used at one time.
- 15. Time required to resume its former or usual condition
- 16. measured by the maximum number of repetitions one can perform against a resistance that's given percentage of one's 1RM
- 20. An increase in the number of muscle fibers.
- 22. ability of an object to resume its normal shape after being stretched
- 28. A type of muscle contraction that occurs when the resistance force is movable.
- 29. The lifter uses the same amount of weight for 3-5 sets at a training load of 80-95% of his/her 1RM.
Down
- 1. A measure of a lifters absolute maximum strength for any given exercise.
- 2. Performing the eccentric, or negative, phase of an exercise only, using a weight 10-15% greater than one's 1RM.
- 3. An approach to training that uses progressively heavier weights and fewer reps through successive sets of an exercise.
- 6. stretch held in a challenging but comfortable position for a period of time
- 7. Lifting the same amount of weight to the point of fatigue.
- 11. ability of your joints to move freely
- 13. external force exerts upon the limb to move into new positions
- 15. stretching movements that challenge the reflexes to adapt
- 17. Maximum force you are able to exert in relation to your body weight.
- 18. Maximum amount of force a muscle/muscle group can exert against an opposing force.
- 19. Shortening of a muscle.
- 20. Microscopic rips in the muscle fiber and surrounding tissues.
- 21. position of a person's body when standing or sitting
- 23. any exercise that causes muscles to contract against an external resistance with expectation of increase in strength, tone, mass, and endurance
- 24. capable of being bent without breaking
- 25. Involves rotating from one exercise to the next in a particular sequence.
- 26. Special type of striated tissue that forms the walls of the heart.
- 27. specificstructure in the muscle that receives signals from the nerves.
