Training for Speed and Power
Across
- 2. rate at which energy is transferred or work is done
- 5. energy system, pathway that produces atp using oxygen
- 6. duration it takes to complete a movement or activity
- 7. unit recruitment, activation of more muscle fibers to produce force
- 11. ability to change direction quickly and efficiently
- 12. training, alternating periods of exercise and rest
- 15. training, exercises using rapid stretch and contraction of muscles
- 17. contraction, muscle lengthening under tension
- 21. using different activities to improve overall fitness
- 23. ii fibers, fast-twitch muscle fibers used for explosive movements
- 24. rate, number of heart beats per minute used to gauge intensity
- 26. training, explosive movements that maximize speed and force
- 27. rate at which distance is covered over time
Down
- 1. time, speed at which a person responds to a stimulus
- 3. contraction, muscle shortening during force production
- 4. anaerobic process that breaks down glucose to produce atp
- 5. energy systems, pathways that produce atp without oxygen
- 8. high-intensity interval training with short bursts of maximum effort
- 9. ratio, relationship between exercise time and recovery time
- 10. contractile structures in muscle cells responsible for force production
- 13. production, process of generating energy for muscle contraction
- 14. amount of push or pull applied to an object or body
- 16. equivalents, units used to estimate energy cost of physical activity
- 18. hypertrophy, increase in muscle size from training
- 19. length of space traveled during movement
- 20. flexibility, ability to switch between energy systems based on demand
- 22. reaction force, force exerted by the ground on the body during movement
- 25. rating of perceived exertion to measure exercise intensity
