3. byproduct of respiration/ VO2 max
5. fiber in a motor unit that requires a long period of time to generate force.
7. gradual, slow stretching of the muscle through full range of motion and holding 20-30 seconds.
8. systemic application of exercise stress sufficient to stimulate muscle fatique
12. lowering phase of muscle contraction
14. rhythmical, bouncing action stretching the muscle a little further each time.
15. causes the muscle to contract and shorten.
18. exercise where a machine controls the speed of contraction within the range of motion.
19. a motor nerve plus all muscle fibers it stimulates
21. moving joints beyond the normal range of motion
23. training program using 6-10 exercises to be completed one after another.
24. increase in size of muscle tissue
25. consumes 20% of your body's oxygen

1. causes tension in the muscle to increase but does not cause the muscle to shorten.
2. a conditioning program beginning 6-8 weeks prior to sports participation
4. progressive overwork of muscles
6. fiber in a motor unit that produces quick and forceful contractions.
9. Trying to prevent injuries before they occur, through a preventative management program.
10. the ability of a joint to move freely through its full range of motion.
11. rate beats per minute.
13. the ability of particular muscle groups to respond to targeted training
16. lifting phase of muscle contraction
17. the process of muscle atrophy due to disuse, immobilization, or starvation
20. restoring function through programmed exercise, to enable return to competition.
22. weekness and wasting away of muscle tissue
