Exercise Physiology

1. They have a contraction speed 2-3 times faster than slow-twitch fibres, and are capable of producing more power than slow twitch fibres.
4. Pain killer e.g. aspirin.
5. Tough fibrous tissue attaching muscles to bones.
10. The volume of air left in the lungs after a forced maximal expiration.
12. High blood pressure.
13. Work performed per unit time = power.
14. "Thickness" of a fluid or "ease of flow"
15. All the chemical processes involved in maintaining life.

2. That part of the body containing the viscera, ie the kidneys, liver, stomach, and intestines; separated from the thorax by the diaphragm
3. The amount of blood in dm3 (litres), pumped by the heart per minute, a function of heart rate and stroke volume.
6. Excessive loss of water, during exercise mainly as a result of sweating
7. Contraction of a muscle during which the force of resistance to the movement remains constant throughout the range of motion.
8. Substances that dissociate into ions in solution (ionize). See inorganic ions/mineral salts.
9. Resting heart rate slower than average
11. The force that a muscle can exert in one maximal effort.
