Across
- 2. strength the amount of weight of resistance you can overcome for each pound of body weight(strength per pound of body weight)
- 3. strength a term for the total amount of weight you can lift or resistance you can overcome regardless of your body weight
- 7. muscle fibers muscle fibers have characteristics of both slow- and fast-twitch fibers
- 8. repetition maximum(1RM) the exertion that can be given by a muscle group when preforming one repetition at a maximum level
- 9. muscle fibers muscle fibers that contract at a fast rate and have great strength but very little endurance
- 11. an abbreviation for repetitions; a term used to describe the number of consecutive times you preform an exercise
- 12. muscle fibers muscle fibers that contract at a slow rate and have great endurance
- 14. a group of repetitions of a specific exercise; each set of repetitions or reps is followed by a rest period before another is preformed
Down
- 1. resistance exercise(PRE) the gradual increase in resistance used to improve muscle fitness
- 4. exercise done using all or part of the body weight as resistance
- 5. an increase in muscle size
- 6. exercise an exercise for muscle fitness that regulates the resistance and/or speed of movement through a full range of joint movement
- 10. contraction a muscle contraction that pulls on the bones and produces movement of body parts
- 13. contraction a muscle contraction in which no movement occurs because of an equal force in the opposite direction; the length of the muscle remains constant under tension
