- 2. the ability of particular muscle groups to respond to targeted training,so that increased strength is gained in that muscle group only
- 5. the range of motion.
- 11. demand on the lungs, heart, and other body systems; also known as aerobic or endurance training.
- 12. The process of restoring function through programmed exercise,to enable a return to competition.
- 15. shorten.
- 16. today.
- 20. 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.
- 21. Moving the joints beyond the normal range of motion.
- 26. A form of dynamic exercise accomplished utilizing a training partner.
- 27. Trying to prevent injuries before they occur,through a preventative management program
- 28. The process of muscle atrophy due to disuse, immobilization, or starvation; leads to decreased strength and muscle mass.
Down
- 1. A rhythmical, bouncing action that stretches the muscles a little further each time. Once a popular technique, this form of stretching is rarely
- 3. An activity that puts an
- 4. Weakness and wasting away of muscle tissue.
- 6. A combined relaxing and contracting of the muscles; an initial isometric contraction against maximum resistance is held at the end of the range of motion, followed by relaxation and passive stretching.
- 7. A type of exercise in which a machine is used to control the speed of contraction
- 8. Progressive overwork of muscles, at a controlled, increased rate,to achieve consistent gains in strength.
- 9. The ability of a joint to move freely through its full range of motion.
- 10. A type of training in which muscles are worked until they reach their capacity; once the athlete is able to maintain that capacity, the workload on the muscle is increased to further build strength and endurance.
- 13. The systematic application of exercise stress sufficient to stimulate muscle fatigue,but not so severe that breakdown and injury occur.
- 14. An increase in the size of muscle tissue
- 17. one right after another
- 18. A motor nerve plus all the muscle fibers it stimulates.
- 19. Fiber in a motor unit that requires a long period of time to generate force; these fibers are resistant to fatigue.
- 21. A gradual, slow stretching of the muscle through the entire range of motion, then holding the position for 20 to 30 seconds.
- 22. An activity that causes tension in the muscle to increase but does not cause the muscle
- 23. Fiber in a motor unit that produces quick and forceful contractions; these fibers are easily fatigued.
- 24. The use of 6 to 10 strength exercises
- 25. An activity that causes the muscle to contract and shorten.
