Across
  1. 4. A fixed number of repetitions; one set of bench presses might be 10 repetitions. Even two-a-day workouts are common. The frequency depends on the amount of resistance, number of sets performed per session, and the person's ability to recover from the previous exercise bout (see Table 7.5). The latter often is dictated by level of conditioning.
  2. 7. Training using special machines equipped with mechanical devices that provide differing amounts of resistance through the range of motion.
  3. 11. An increase in the size of the cell, as in muscle hypertrophy.
  4. 12. The lowering or eccentric phase of a repetition during a strength-training exercise.
  5. 14. The lifting, pushing, or concentric phase of a repetition during a strength-training exercise.
Down
  1. 1. Explosive jump training, incorporating speed and strength training to enhance explosiveness.
  2. 2. Strength-training method in which the speed of the muscle contraction is kept constant because the equipment (machine) provides an accommodating resistance to match the user's force (maximal) through the range of motion.
  3. 3. A program designed to strengthen the abdominal, hip, and spinal muscles (the core of the body).
  4. 5. A training approach that divides the season into cycles using a systematic variation in intensity and volume of training to enhance fitness and performance.
  5. 6. An emotional, behavioral, and physical condition marked by increased fatigue, decreased performance, persistent muscle soreness, mood disturbances, and feelings of staleness or burnout as a result of excessive physical training.
  6. 8. Nerves connecting the central nervous system to the muscle.
  7. 9. A program designed to improve muscular strength and/or endurance through a series of progressive resistance (weight) training exercises that overload the muscle system and cause physiological development. See Strength training.
  8. 10. Decrease in the size of a cell.
  9. 13. A training program that uses exercises designed to help strengthen the body's core by developing pelvic stability and abdominal control; exercises are coupled with focused breathing patterns.
  10. 15. Describes lengthening of a muscle during muscle contraction.
