Muscular Fitness: Nathaniel Scheflan
Across
- 3. the systematic, gradual increase of stress placed upon the musculoskeletal system during training to continually improve strength
- 4. a group of consecutive repetitions (reps) of an exercise followed by a rest period
- 6. strength training technique where two different exercises are performed back-to-back without rest, increasing workout efficiency
- 8. training the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen to work in harmony
- 10. type of muscle action where the muscle lengthens while under tension because the external resistance exceeds the force produced by the muscle
- 14. the designated recovery time between sets or exercises in a training session
- 15. the ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert force repeatedly
- 17. a form of exercise using external resistance—weights, bands, or body weight
- 18. the maximum amount of weight you can lift for a single, full-range repetition of a specific exercise
- 19. high-intensity, time-efficient workout that combines strength and cardio by alternating between exercises for different muscle groups with little to no rest
- 20. strength training equipment that use gravity and simple mechanics, such as cables or weight stacks
Down
- 1. strength training methods using an individual's weight to provide resistance against gravity
- 2. static strength training moves where muscles contract without changing length or moving joints
- 5. the number of times a specific exercise movement is performed within a set
- 7. a type of muscle activation where the muscle develops active tension and shortens to move a load
- 9. the wasting, thinning, or loss of muscle tissue or organs, often causing weakness and reduced mobility
- 11. dynamic movements that contract and shorten muscles against a constant load through a full range of motion
- 12. the maximum force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single, all-out effort
- 13. increase in skeletal muscle size and cross-sectional area, driven by consistent resistance training
- 16. a weight used in weightlifting that is not attached to an apparatus
